0492 - Omitted Parts in the Hanacha Because They Were Sharp Part 1 - Not Listening to Farbrengen

00:01 Sometimes when the Rebbe would speak by fabrengen something very sharp against somebody, when it came to write the hanoches, to write it down, some parts would be skipped if it would be too sharp against a person. So I want to give a small example from the Sikha of Shabbos Parshas Vaera Tov Shin Lamid Beis. There the Rebbe spoke about Mi Yehudi, the law where it says that in Eretz Yisrael, who's considered a Yid? Somebody who has a Jewish mother and who was Nisgayer. And they used to say the word Nisgayer Ka'aloche, but they took it out, and that's what the whole shturim the Rebbe made. And there was a psak din from the Rabbonim HaRoshis that the members of the cabinet, the frumer members, should resign if this is not fixed. So the Rebbe told over that there was a meeting of 25 to 30 people, and one guy from the tzatchike nege the Rebbe said, from the other side, got up and said there was no such psak din of the Rabbonim HaRoshis. And the Rebbe said there was somebody should have answered him. Somebody who was there who could have answered him did not answer him. And the Rebbe complained that it shows that he didn't have the courage to do it. Then the Rebbe continued, I asked that person, when you heard such things, why didn't you answer them? So he said, I didn't know myself that there was such a psak din for Rabbonim HaRoshis. So the Rebbe said, how could

01:08 it be that you didn't know? We spoke about it in the fabrengen beferish. You were there. And then the Rebbe said, chazered over many, many, many times. And it was publicized and printed, made a whole shturim, a whole tummel about it. Letters were sent there about it. How could you say that you didn't know about it? You were there. And then in the hanoche that's printed in Sichas Kadesh, it says, chosek tzaza, there's a piece missing here. And then it continues that the reason why you didn't answer because you have the weakness and you don't have the courage to do it. But really, when it says chosek tzaza, there was a piece missing because the Rebbe said a few words. And at that time, people knew who it was. That's why we took it out. And the Rebbe said, when he said, but you were there, what do you mean you didn't know about it? So the Rebbe said these words. But the reason why you didn't know about it, because by the fabrengen, you don't listen to what is being said. All you're doing is looking around to see which other people are sleeping. And if you see someone sleeping, you don't let him sleep. I, in the meantime, will be missing parts of the fabrengen. So you rely on chazora, the Rebbe said, or he has more important things to do. And then the Rebbe continued about the inyan that you didn't have the breakite. But here the Rebbe spoke very sharp against

02:18 the person saying that you don't listen to the fabrengen, you're involved in other things. And that is taken out as a hashmate. But the Rebbe did say these sharp words by this fabrengen on Shabbos Parshas Vaera Tov Shin Lamid Beis.
