0549 - Calling R' Zalman Duchman by Name - When it Comes a Time of Jubilee

00:01 Bechlav, very seldom did the Rebbe mention by fabregen the name of a person of our generation. Sometimes he did, the Moshel. In the fabregen of Chai Elul, Tovshin Lamed Daled, the Rebbe mentioned Reb Shmuel Witten because it was the end of Shive for when he passed away. In the fabregen of Yuchvat, Tovshin Chavhei, the Rebbe mentioned that he got the Ksovim letters, things that Harav Perlov wrote, and the Rebbe mentioned Harav Perlov by his name. But usually the Rebbe would not mention a person by his name. But I want to mention there was another time that the Rebbe did mention a person by his name. And this was in the fabregen of Shavas Parsha Shemini, Tovshin Lamed. The Rebbe mentioned then at the end of the fabregen that Beis Nisan is going to be 50 years from the histalkas of the Rebbe Neshma Seiden, of the Rebbe Rashab. And this was Shavas of Varcham Nisan, so this was mamish a few days before it. So the Rebbe said that since it's now going to be 50 years from the histalkas of the Rebbe Neshma Seiden, which means automatically 50 years from the beginning of the nasiyas of the Rebbe Deshveri, he said of the Friedike Rebbe, because it goes over, Yerusha goes over right away to a child. And by nasiyas especially, he says it goes over. And especially when he was a Ben Yochid, so certainly there was not one second that was mafsik between the end of the nasiyas of the Rebbe Rashab

01:23 and the beginning of the nasiyas of the Friedike Rebbe. So therefore, it's going to be 50 years from the histalkas of the Rebbe Rashab and 50 years from the beginning of the nasiyas of the Friedike Rebbe. So the Rebbe said, and since it's going to be 50 years, iz azevi Reb Zalman Duchman, all of our sholar frekt, alam ozogen. Abeshases kumta yubileim, tarfrez er demonenas iz yubileim. This was not long after he passed away. I think he passed away on Ches Oder. And this was Shabbos and Varcham Nisan. So the Rebbe mentioned him by his name, that since it's going to be 50 years, 50 years is yubileim, it's jubilee. But he used to use that loshen not only by 50 years, but any time there was a special amount of years, he would use this loshen. And the Rebbe said it, I think, if I remember correctly, with the tone, the way he used to speak. Abeshases kumta yubileim, tarfrez er demonenas iz yubileim. When a yubileim comes, a jubilee comes, you have to remind yourself that it's a jubilee. And the Rebbe mentioned who said it. He said clearly, Reb Zalman Duchman, all of our sholar frekt, alam ozogen. And it has to be niskorim in order that it should be niceim. And the Rebbe said that therefore it says in Svorim that when certain special times come, you have to make a cheshbon tzedek, a cheshbon nefesh before. Before Shabbos, you have to make a cheshbon tzedek what happens through the whole

02:41 week. Before Shemitah, you have to make a cheshbon tzedek what happened the six years. Before Yovel, you have to make a cheshbon what happened these 50 years before. So the Rebbe said, so therefore it's right that people should make a cheshbon what happened to them the last 50 years since the Rebbe Neshma Seiden was nistalik. Those people who were not born then should make a cheshbon the last 20 years, 30 years or whatever it was. And if a person doesn't want to fool himself, he knows what the Rebbe Rashab expected of him. And he knows what the Friedike Rebbe, which is also 50 years from his beginning of his nasiyas, what he expected of him. So it has to be a cheshbon tzedek. And the Rebbe said the cheshbon tzedek should be finished before Beis Nisan, even though there was only a few days left to Beis Nisan before Beis Nisan. And if you don't finish the cheshbon tzedek, you make up your mind that you're going to do it later and HaDei Mishnah will consider it as if you did it before. So the Rebbe made a whole tummel that we have to make a cheshbon of the last 50 years from the Rebbe Rashab. But what I'm trying to point out is that the Rebbe mentions Reb Zalman Duchman by his name. And he said, Azevi Reb Zalman Duchman, all of our sholar frekt zogen, ase kum beshas es kumta yubileim, tarfrez er demonenas ya yubileim. And the Rebbe quoted in his name

03:53 and the Rebbe made a whole fuss of this yubileim, of this special date of 50 years from the histalkas of the Rebbe Rashab and from the beginning of the nasiyas of the Friedike Rebbe.
