0521 - Omitted Parts in the Hanacha Because They Were Sharp Part 10 - Selling Homes in Crown Heights to Goyim Part 2

00:01 In the same farbrengen of Shabbos Parashat Shemini Tov Shem Chof Tes, where the Rebbe spoke about the shechuna, and the Rebbe spoke about not selling houses to Goyim and working on it. The Rebbe even told a mefas that happened just days before, a few days before, about the way they wanted to set, divide the, the counties, et cetera, et cetera. And a mefas, he said, from, from the Rebbe Dishver, which went through him, the Rebbe said, and told the whole story, and that shows that if you stand bateichev, the Eibeshte helps, so you have to stand bateichev and do it. So then the Rebbe said that we find by Matan Torah, when the Eibeshte wanted to give the Torah, so he first said to speak to the women, kein sheomer l'vis Yaakov, n'shei b'nei Yisroel, and then he said, "You speak to the men." And the reason is because it's easier to peil on the women than on the men. So the Rebbe said the same thing here. "This is what really I should have done. I should have first spoken to the women." And the way the Rebbe expressed himself, this is not written in the HaNoch, this is skipped in the HaNoch. He said, "Really what I should have done is," I guess he was speaking sarcastically, "I should have pro-brought down the women down here, and I would send the men up to the vibeshul, and I should speak to, have spoken to the women. And then I would send the women

01:10 back up and have the men come down again. And then I would speak to the men." Because when you speak to the women, they're stronger. They will work on it with hateichev much stronger, and they will also peil on the men to work on it. And the Rebbe said, as we see in Negaya, the sleeping by farbrengen. The Rebbe complained many times why people sleep by the farbrengen. So he said, "Who are the ones that are sleeping? It's the men, but not the women." And just like the men when they sleep, it's not only when we speak a yinyan in Kabbalah, in Eretz Yisroel, like Chaar od Yonyim. Also, when we speak about Peshat, Rashi, which is for Rabbeinu Chachamish L'mikra, they also fall asleep. The same way by the women is the opposite, that they don't sleep, not only when we talk about Peshat, simple things, but even when we're talking about Drush and Sod, which meantime so far they don't really understand it so much, and they also don't fall asleep. So the Rebbe said the same thing should have been done now, that if you speak to the women first, it'll be stronger. So the Rebbe said that the women have to know that it depends on them, and if they're gonna go with the take of strong, it's gonna work, and it'll be like the Chazal say, "Yezeh ish shekesheh ra'eiser et zein baila." What's called the kosher woman who does the ratzon of her husband, but in Chassidus it says

02:18 that what it means is, "Eiser et zein baila", she makes up the will of her husband. That means that she makes that the husband should want what the Eibeshte wants, what the Torah wants. Then later on, the Rebbe continued and he said, and he started another yinyan, and he said that since bemakom she'ratzon yesh elot ha'shomanim, so wherever the person's ratzon is, that's where he is, like the Baal Shem Tov says. So it comes out that really the women who wanna listen, who wanna hear, are really down here, and really those that are sleeping are really up there. And the Rebbe said, "When I say those who are sleeping are really up there, I don't mean..." Like it says in Pirkei D'Rabbi Eliezer that when a person sleeps, the neshama ela lamaila v'she'eves lochaiim. The neshama goes up lamaila and draws life. But that's not what I mean. That could be before the farbrengen, half hour before the farbrengen, half hour after the farbrengen. But when I'm saying about sleeping, I'm s-speaking about poshet sleeping in the farbrengen, and really it's as if they're up there, meaning up there in the vibeshul. And the women who are listening and wanna listen, it's as if they're down here, and bemeheila the woman could really do it with hateichev, and they will be matzliach.
