0566 - Frierdiker Rebbe Visit with the Persover Rebbe - Hachnosas Orchim Doesn't Need to be with Food

00:00 The Fabringen of Shabbos Parsha Kesetz Tov Shechov Dalet, the Rebbe spoke about the orchim that started coming already for Tishrei. And the Rebbe quoted the Maimer Chazal, K'dei Lach Nos Asorchim Yeser Me'agbolas Pnei HaShechinah, that the received guest is greater than receiving the face of the Shechinah. And the Rebbe connected it with the Maimer Chazal, K'dei Lach Ligimei Mekareves, that eating and drinking together is Mekarev people. And the Rebbe said that's why the meaning is that when you do Achnos Asorchim, you do it by giving food. And he said even though really there's a vort of the Friediger Rebbe where he said that you don't have to give food, the Rebbe's Friediger Rebbe teached that in which way is Achnos Asorchim greater than K'bolas Pnei HaShechinah. So he said K'bolas Pnei HaShechinah is when they went to the Beis HaMikdash, that's where they saw the Shechinah, they came to the Shechinah. But there you have to bring a korban, you have to bring, so to speak, some food, like it says L'ro Panereicham. But by Achnos Asorchim, it doesn't say that you have to give food. So that's how Achnos Asorchim is greater than K'bolas Pnei HaShechinah. Nevertheless, the Rebbe said the meaning is that you do give food. Now this vort that the Rebbe said and this fabringen in the name of the Friediger Rebbe, he also said in Shechei DeShatamus Tov Shechov Ches and the Yechidus of Reb Yuda Leib Levin, the Rav of Moscow, who came for a visit to America, he

01:16 went into Yechidus and the Rebbe told him this vort also in the name of the Friediger Rebbe. And in Teires Menachem of Tov Shechov Dalet, which is volume mem, page 340, in the Ha'ore there, they bring where this vort was said by the Friediger Rebbe. And they quote something that the Rebbe said by Fabringen Tov Shechov Zion in France when he went to meet his mother. And I heard a story also from somebody else. This is Rabbi Feldman, who used to live in Milwaukee, and he was a talmid in Atvotsk. And he told me that he remembers when that story happened. I was there once for Mekesh Lichas, and in his house, that's when he told me this story. And this is the way he told the story, which is really similar to the way the story is written in the Ha'ore in Teires Menachem. That when the Friediger Rebbe was in Atvotsk, a Rebbe, a certain Rebbe came to visit him, to pay a visit. This was the Perse of a Rebbe. And by the Friediger Rebbe, everything was malchosdik. So when he came to visit, the table was set with silverware, with china. It was mamishe. He received him very malchosdik. And when he finished, he asked the Friediger Rebbe to come to visit him. So the Friediger Rebbe said, good. So one day, the Friediger Rebbe went to visit him, and the Rebbe went along with him. The Friediger Rebbe took along the Rebbe. And he came there. This Rebbe, this Perse

02:36 of a Rebbe was sitting in front of the table. And he told the gabbe to bring some kibud, to bring something. So what the gabbe did, the way I remember he said, in the backyard, there was a tree that grew apples, apple tree. So he went up to the tree and picked a few apples, put it into his kapote. Not into, he picked up the bottom of his kapote, and he put the apples there. Came into the room where they were sitting, came to the edge of the table. The Perse of a Rebbe and the Friediger Rebbe were sitting at the head of the table. This was the other end of the table. And he took his kapote and rolled out the apples onto the table. And the apples rolled from that end of the table all the way to the front. And the table wasn't even so clean. And when it came to the end of the front of the table, that Perse of a Rebbe took one apple. There wasn't even a knife to cut it. Took his hand, knagged it and gave a bang on the apple and opened up the apple. And he gave a piece to the Friediger Rebbe and told the Friediger Rebbe to eat. And the Rebbe said he knew the Friediger Rebbe's teva, so he was very curious what the Friediger Rebbe was going to do. So the Friediger Rebbe said like this. He wants to say it about Torah. And he said this vort. When it

03:45 says, what it means is that by you have to bring korbanos. You have to bring some food. But that you have to eat. It doesn't say anywhere that you have to eat. And afterwards, the Friediger Rebbe got up and left. And Rabbi Feldman told me that after this happened, the Rebbe, when he came back with the Friediger Rebbe, the Rebbe walked into the zal where the bochim were. And Rabbi Feldman says he was in the zal when the Rebbe came in. And the Rebbe told over everything that happened by this visit. And then he says the Rebbe added to the bochim that it's seldom that we hear a vort of the Shver in Nigle. And here we heard a vort of the Shver in Nigle. Now, we know that the Friediger Rebbe was a big goon, but he tried to hide it. And here is one of the times that the Friediger Rebbe said a vort in Nigle. That's what the Rebbe told the bochim when he came back from this visit.
