0543 - Leftover Havdala of Motzei Yom Kippur and V'yitein Lecha Together with Someone Part 1

00:01 By the third yontif of the first day of Sukkos, Tov Shin Lamed, the Rebbe ate upstairs on the second floor in the apartment of the Rebbe. Someone asked the Rebbe about Havdalah Motzi Yom Kippur. What do you do with the leftovers after a person drinks the Kos Havdalah, the one that makes Havdalah, and there's some wine left over, what do you do with it? And the Rebbe answered like this. He said, Becholal, by Kiddush, the Shver, the Friedrich Rebbe was Medayik always to make Kiddush himself. By Havdalah, he wasn't Medayik to make himself. Besides Motzi Yom Kippur, like it says in the Sichas of Tov Shin He, that he made Havdalah himself. And the Rebbe says the reason why he would make Havdalah himself, why it's important to make Havdalah himself, so the Rebbe says maybe you could say because it's connected to the specialty of Yom Kippur, because it's Kam BiYochid, whatever it is, a specialty, that's why he would make himself. But Benegeia, whether you could drink from the leftovers of Havdalah, so the Rebbe said like this. A whole year, the meaning is that we do not drink leftovers from Havdalah. Except if that same Kos was used for benching. Obviously, when the Rebbe would give Koshel Broche, it was the Kos that he made Havdalah on, but it was before that, that same wine was used for benching. But maybe that's different. But otherwise, we don't drink the leftovers of Havdalah. Except Motzi Yom Kippur, you could drink the leftovers. That's

01:19 one thing I said. Then the Rebbe said there's a known meaning that people say Ve'it L'cho together with somebody else. In other words, two people to say it together. So the Rebbe said, it was once in Petersburg, I was standing on the side when the Shver was saying Ve'it L'cho. He called me by my name and he told me to come over to his siddur and to say it together with him. So the Rebbe, in other words, was Ma'asher the singing of saying together Ve'it L'cho. Now, it's interesting that if I bring him later when the Rebbe was saying Ve'it L'cho, I don't remember which farbrengen that was, but I think it was the next farbrengen that came out that the yontif was, the farbrengen was Shabbos, Motzi Shabbos. So the Rebbe said Ve'it L'cho. And that time when he said Ve'it L'cho, he turned around to Rabbi Mentlik and he told Rabbi Mentlik to come over. He motioned him to come over. He should say Ve'it L'cho together with the Rebbe in the siddur. And this was Behemshir, so what the Rebbe said here by the meal that it's an inyan to say together with somebody else. But as far as I remember, this was the only time that he asked somebody else to say with him. And that's just to strengthen, I assume, to strengthen what he said by the meal that there's an inyan to say together. So that time he asked Rabbi Mentlik to come over and said together, which is

02:32 Becholal an interesting thing because Becholal we know that the Rabbim were makpi that no one should say anything together with them at the same siddur, et cetera, et cetera. So I think in Rabbi Zalman Ducham writes in his Sefer, Leshem Aizen, that once somebody looked together with the Friedrich Rebbe in the Megillah and the Friedrich Rebbe told him later, he talked and he looked with me in the Megillah. So they would like, they were makpi that no one should together. And here the Rebbe called him over at this one time that he should say Ve'it L'cho together. And that must have been the yetzem and aklal an exception. But it definitely came Behemshir because the Rebbe said by the meal on the first day of Sukkos that Ve'it L'cho, you should say it together with somebody else. And he said that the Friedrich Rebbe called him over to say it together with him.
