0551 - Regarding Grabbing Shirayim Part 2

00:01 In the farbrengen of Shabbos Parashas HaZino, Tov Shechin Chaveis, the Rebbe continued when the gei had the inyan of grabbing the sharayim. And the Rebbe said again that this was not something that used to be by Chassidim Chabad. This is only by Pelish Chassidim. And even though the Friedrich Rebbe from time to time used to do this, but it was only bitnai that it should be the ike, that they should bring a hisofim, learning Torah, doing mitzvahs, etc. But when you're missing the ike, then chas v'shalom, the tofel, the secondary thing, is also in this battle. Now, there are some people that I know that when they grab sharayim, it's not for themselves. It's only for the teva of Chassidim. It's good for Chassidim to do that. As if he's saying that for himself, he doesn't care. He only cares for Chassidim b'chlal. So the Rebbe said, I want to say that I also want tevas of Chassidim. And if I would think that this is good for Chassidim, I would also want it. And the Rebbe continued. There were Chassidim by the previous Rebbeim, and they also needed Mesiresh Nefesh, etc., etc. And still, they could have been involved in getting a piece of cake, etc., etc., but they didn't do it. The only time it happened when one Chassid, a Pelish Chassid, came to the Rebbe Nishrasadim and he grabbed it. But otherwise, no one grabbed it. And if I remember correctly, that the Rebbe told over the story that what happened when

01:17 a Pelish Chassid grabbed it by the Rebbe Rashab. Could be it was in a different farbrengen. I think it was in this farbrengen. And he said that once there was a Pelish Chassid that grabbed sharayim by the Rebbe Rashab, and the Rebbe Rashab told him that in Chabad we don't have the meaning of sharayim. So he said to the Rebbe Rashab that by us we know that sharayim is mezake. That means it brings a certain merit. And the Rebbe Rashab said to him, ba'unzes, sharayim mechayiv. Mechayiv means it makes you obligated. It makes you more responsible for things. So it's not supposed to grab sharayim. Now, the Rebbe said, I didn't mean, I don't mean to be mevatel something that a Friedrich Rebbe did, but it has to be with the kavonet as it was there. In this case, we're talking about a Chassidish farbrengen, a Lubavitch Chabad farbrengen. And the inyan of Chabad is to add in learning and to be mesamik in learning Torah and nigla and chassidus. And then from Chabad, from the mechen, from the person's intellect, it comes down to the middes. First to the pnim mesike, middes of chesed, kavur etiferes, chagaz. And then from the pnim mesike chagaz, then to chotzenes chagaz. That's the inyan of sharayim. But you can't just, just famaze, grab sharayim. Some people might think, why am I saying this and I'm offending some people? Especially Shabbos, when everything has to be calm and menucha. So how, why would I be offending people? In

02:32 other words, the Rebbe said, some people think that first of all, I'm offending people who give me covet. Why should I do that? And more bedak is, they mean well. So if they mean well, why should I offend them? So the Rebbe said, the answer is, the posik says, rak eschem yudaiti mikol mishpachei se'adoma al kein. That Deibish says, because I love Yidden, that's why Deibish gives them rebuke. And in chassidus it says that the word yudaiti tak means love. That means that Deibish says it out of love. So the same thing here, what I'm saying it is because I love these people. And therefore, I want to pick them up to a high pedestal. They should be in a higher madrega. But rather they know it themselves also. That's why I'm able to be meider on this. And the Rebbe says, but be'etzem I don't want to be meider even more. And it's even possible that what I said till now won't help. People will continue grabbing sharayim. But, and there's a problem if they really continue grabbing sharayim. That means that they might not even hear the maimer. They're all, wait the whole time when it will be finished and I'll be able to, and I'll leave and they'll be able to take sharayim. So meider, but nevertheless, I'm not going to speak about it anymore, etc., etc. And the Rebbe said, and therefore what he's going to do is now he's going to give after the farbrengen always the leftover mezaines he's

03:43 going to give for the orchim that are there. I don't remember exactly if the Rebbe mentioned Rabbi Moshe Yeroslavsky by name because he was the one that organized the achnos of orchim where people, the orchim would be able to eat. But he meant that, and that's like how it happened. That from then on, the Rebbe at the end of the farbrengen would give the mezaines to Rabbi Moshe Yeroslavsky. And other times farbrengens when it wasn't Tishri, he would give it to somebody else for some reason. But in order not to leave it that people should grab. Because the Rebbe didn't really want they should grab sharayim. On the other hand, there was one time where the Rebbe did say something positive about it. And that will be in the next broadcast.
