0522 - Cutting the Rebbe's Nails in the Correct Order Even After 27 Adar 5752

00:01 In the same fabringen of Shabbos Parashat Shemini Tov Shem Choftez, 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 mefes that happened just days before, a few days before, about the way they wanted to divide the counties, et cetera, et cetera. And a mefes, he said, from the Rebbe Deshver, which went through him, the Rebbe said, and told the whole story. And that shows that if you stand Betakev, the Eibysher helps, so you have to stand Betakev and do it. So then the Rebbe said that we find by Matan Torah, when the Eibysher wanted to give the Torah, so he first said to speak to the women, Keis Seimor L'vis Yaakov, Neshei Bnei 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 Da'anoch, this is skipped in Da'anoch. He said, really what I should have done is, I guess he was speaking sarcastically, I should have brought down the women down here. And I would send the men up to the Vaibeshu. And I should speak to have spoken to the women. And then I would send the women back up and have the men

01:11 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 a take much stronger. And they will also peil on the men to work on it. And the Rebbe said, as we see in the Ge'eh, the sleeping by Fabringen. The Rebbe complained many times why people sleep by the Fabringen. 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 union in Kabbalah, in Remez, V'chulah V'chulah, like Chardin Yonim. Also when we speak about Pshat, Rasha, which is for Rabbeinu Chamish 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 Pshat, 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 going to go with the take of strong, it's going to work. And it'll be like the Chazal say, what's called the kosher woman who does the rotzen of her husband. But Chassidus, it says that what it means is, she makes up the will

02:21 of her husband. That means that she makes that the husband should want what the Eibysher wants, what the Torah wants. Then later on, the Rebbe continued, and he said, and he started another union, and he said that since wherever the person's rotzen is, that's where he is, like the Balshem Tov says. So it comes out that really the women who want to listen, who want to hear, are really down here. And really those that are sleeping are really up there. And the Rebbe said, when I say those that are sleeping are really up there, I don't mean, like it says in Pirkei DeRebbe Lazer, that a person sleeps, the neshomeh goes up lamayla and draws life. But that's not what I mean. That could be before the Fabringen, half hour before the Fabringen, half hour after the Fabringen. But when I'm saying about sleeping, I'm speaking about sleeping in the Fabringen. And really it's as if they're up there, meaning up there in the Vaibeshu. And the women who are listening and want to listen, it's as if they're down here. And the woman could really do it with a take, and they will be matzliach.
