0534 - Ha'ara in Lekutei Sichos Regarding Burial is the Baal Shem Tov

00:01 In Likutei Sichas Cheilig Dalet, the Sichas for Shvuos, page 1031, the Rebbe talks about the Kvure of the Baal Shem Tov. Since the Baal Shem Tov was Nistalik, passed away on the first day of Shvuos, so when did they bury him? And the Rebbe says that according to the Din, probably they buried him on the second day of Shvuos, and the Rebbe connects it to the second day of Shvuos, the Inyan of why the Kvure was second day of Shvuos. But the Rebbe just said that's how according to Din should be. And in the order 30, the Rebbe writes like this, איך שהיה בפהל, as how it was actually, לא מצאתי לעיסת בראשית מסוכה יצא בזה. I didn't find it. It means that so far I didn't find it in any Rishimus. And then it says, ויאשמנים, some say, אשר אדמו נשמתן, אומר על דבר זה פעם בסיחסו, that the Rebbe Rashab once in the Sichas said concerning this Inyan, ולא ידע איש את קבורותי, that no one knew his Kvure. That's what he said. That's יאשמנים, some say that. That's how the Rebbe writes. And then it continues the order like this, והוא, where is this thing said in the name of the Rebbe Rashab? In the Sichas of the second day of Shvuos of the Friediker Rebbe, תפרש צדיק תס, which was written מראשית מס השמים from people who wrote it down, but אין המוגית was not Mugit from the Friediker Rebbe. And he quotes what it says in the Sichas of תפרש

01:17 צדיק תס, which is actually later it was printed in the Sefer Hasichas תפרש צדיק תס, page 333. And this is what the Rebbe quotes there, that שואל אחד, one person by the Farbrengen of תפרש צדיק תס asked, when was the burial of the Baal Shem Tov, the first day or the second day of Shvuos? And he answered, the Friediker Rebbe answered, that this was a question that was discussed in Lubavitch a long time ago. And the Mascona was, it's a Giblivim, that there is no Kabbalah in that. We don't know. There's no tradition. And then the Friediker Rebbe said that my father at the end of the discussion said, אס אז ולא ידע איש את קבורותי. No one knows his Kvure. And then it says in the Sichas of the Friediker Rebbe, ובתך הדברים אמר, and while they're talking, he said בדרך סבורה, אז מן עוד גוורט מדר קבורת ביזנוך יונטב, that he probably waited with the burial to after Yontif. עד כאן לשון הרשימה, that's what it says in the Rishima of that Farbrengen. And Rebbe אס הקש, it's a Rekium. Number one, how does it fit to the Dina that it should be the first, the second day Yontif, not after Yontif? Also, how does it fit to the beginning where the whole discussion was whether it was the first or the second? Then he says, well, probably it was after Yontif. Maybe it has to say that he waited ביזנוך יונטב ראשון, till after the first day of Yontif. The Rebbe said,

02:35 בדרך, you could say maybe they waited for some relatives and then you have to wait. Now it's strange that the Rebbe in the order writes, some say that the Rebbe Rashab said on this, ולא ידע איש את קבורותי. And then the Rebbe all of a sudden writes, where does that something say? That's in the Sichas of תפרש צדיק תס, חג השבועות תפרש צדיק תס. So why did he write לכתחילה that some say he should have written לכתחילה that in the Sichas of תפרש צדיק תס it says so and so, ולא ידע איש את קבורותי, and then continue with the whole order. But the way it says is that some say that the Rebbe Rashab said on this, the Sichas, ולא ידע איש את קבורותי. And then it continues, and where is this thing said? In the Sichas of חג השבועות תפרש צדיק תס. So I just want to say what happened. Originally when the Sichas was Mogid by the Rebbe, only the first part was there, the beginning of the order. That how it was בפהל I didn't find so far in any Rishimus. And יאשמרים, and some say that the Rebbe Rashab said on this once in the Sichas, ולא ידע איש את קבורותי. After the Sichas came out, then came out a Hashmot to this Ha'ore, and then these words were added, והוא בסיחסים בחג השבועות תפרש צדיק תס, as it continues in the order. That means it was added. So since it was already written that יאשמרים, that the Rebbe Rashab said

03:50 on this, ולא ידע איש את קבורותי, that state, and then the Rebbe added as a Hashmot, as a Hisofet to the, so therefore that those law and line state. And then he said, where is this יאשמרים? In the Sichas of the second day of Shvuos, צדיק תס. And the Rebbe goes on with the whole Ha'ore here, quoting the Loshen from there and saying that it's Bilti Mogid. That's why it can't be so Meduyek because it's not Mogid. But what I also heard then, and I don't remember from who, but in my mind there was somebody reliable, that when they thought about it in Lubavitch and there was a discussion with the Rebbe Rashab whether the, when the Kvura was and what he said first and what he said later. So the Shmua was, that's what I heard, that who was the one that discussed with the Rebbe Rashab by the Farbrengen was the Rebbe's father, Reb Levi Yitzchak, the Rebbe's father. And that was the discussion. He was the one that asked when the Kvura was. He had, he spoke up to the Rebbe Rashab and the Rebbe Rashab said the whole thing. That's what they said then. Now, I don't know if it's so, but that's what I heard then and it seemed like it was reliable.
