0570 - Items the Rebbe Used Have Kedusha Part 2

00:00 Behemshek to the inyan that the cheif it's an object that had the sheikhes of the Rebbe has a special kedusha. I want to mention that one of my talasim actually is the first talas that I had after I got married was used once as a cover to the bime by Kriyas HaTorah when the Rebbe had an aliyah. And this is what happened. My place was the first shura of the bochrim standing right after the tables by the fabrengen, which means on the right side of the Rebbe, you had in front of the Rebbe the tables. And when the tables finished, then you had the bochrim standing. So I was the first shura standing there. Then when they expanded the shul, they added more shuras, more lines of people sitting. So the people standing got moved pretty far. So what we did instead of going further, we people who were standing in the first shura, maybe the second shura, a few shuras sat down on these places that was made to sit. So that's where it was. My place was became a place to sit. But since I'm not so tall and sitting there and it's behind many shuras, it's not so easy to see the Rebbe. So what I used to do by Shabbos fabrengen was that I didn't take off my talas and put it away when it came to the fabrengen. I kept my talas with me and I put my talas under me. So I was able to sit on top of

01:16 my talas. So it made me a little bit higher. So I was able to see better. One fabrengen after the fabrengen, when they went to Dav Minche, I turned around. I see that the gaboyim are looking for the cover of the bime for Kriyas HaTorah. The cover wasn't there. They were very nervous that I was going to have an aliyah. How could you do that without a cover? So I saw it and I had my talas. I gave him my talas and said, here, take the talas and use it as a cover in the meantime. So they took the talas. They didn't find the cover. So they use this as a cover. Then they gave the Rebbe an aliyah. The Rebbe came over, gave a look. I saw I was watching, gave a look at the talas and looked at it and then continued with the brocha, et cetera, et cetera. Then after Rebbe finished with the aliyah and the Rebbe left, they gave me back my talas. So my talas is a talas that was used by the Rebbe having an aliyah. In other words, not used for the cover of the bime of the aliyah that the Rebbe had. So to me, it's a very special talas. So I only use that on Yom Kippur, et cetera, et cetera. This is all because since it was used by the Rebbe for something, for me it has a special kedusha.
