0578 - Shadar that Didn't Take Pidyon About Ruchniyus

00:01 In the farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Kisiso, Tov Shin Chof Zayin, the Rebbe said an interesting thing. He told over that one of the shadarin that were there by the Friedike Rebbe, shadar is a rosh ha'teivus of the word shlucha, the Rabbonon. This means a meshula for the Rebbe. He used to collect maimet for the Rebbe. So one of these shadarin by the Friedike Rebbe, when he would come to a city to collect money, people would take the opportunity and send along with him pidyonus to give to the Rebbe, to the Friedike Rebbe. So when they gave him the pidyonus, so he told the people that the pidyonus that have bakoshos, requests concerning gashmazdike things for a refuah, cure who is sick, matir asurim, mevorach hashonim, for parnosa, et cetera, et cetera. He says, I'll take them. But if you're giving me pidyonus that you have requests concerning yonim ruchnim, the moshel, you're asking, you're requesting a broche for a siyu, a help in avodas Hashem, or that you shouldn't have machshavas hamavals, you shouldn't have machshavas zos, or you should have atzlacha success in your learning Torahs, things like that. He said it doesn't take him. He won't take him. So they asked him, why not? If you believe that the Rebbe is able to help concerning gashmazdike things, bona chayim, zeina revicha, zaracha veki yomo, for parnosa, for children, et cetera, et cetera, and for arikhas yomim, and parnosa bar chova. So you believe that the Rebbe could help. So why don't you believe

01:26 that he's able to help also in yonim ruchnim? So he answered that b'negei in yonim gashmim, the Aibish could help. And since it says in Medesh, tzadikim deimim leberem, tzadikim are similar to the creator, the Aibishter. So the Rebbe could also help. But in yonim ruchnim, even the Aibishter can't help that. Because the Chazal say, hakol b'dei shamayim chutz mi'yira shamayim. Everything is in the hands of shamayim, the hands of Hashem, except yira shamayim, which is in yonim ruchnim. In yonim ruchnim, the Aibishter even can't do anything. So the Rebbe also can't do. And he said, if you would give me a pidyon concerning in yonim ruchnim to give to the Aibishter himself, I also wouldn't take it. The Rebbe said, ad is given a petach. He was a fool because what he said was wrong. And the Rebbe said, because it says in the Kutat Torah, concerning this maimet Chazal of hakol b'dei shamayim chutz mi'yira shamayim, the Alter Rebbe says there that the level, the maila called yedei shamayim, from there taka yira shamayim can't come. But from a level higher than that, yira shamayim could come yira shamayim. And the Alter Rebbe explains the pasuk, when the Aibishter said to Moshe Rabbeinu, by Matan Torah, when the Yidden didn't want the Aibishter to talk to them, they were afraid, and they said, Moshe, you should talk. So the Aibishter said to Moshe, mi yitein ve'hoyu levovam zeh le'yira esi kol hayomim. Simple pshat is, Rebbe didn't say the simple pshat, but we're

02:53 saying the simple pshat is Hashem said to Moshe, don't worry. The fact that they're afraid is good. Halavai mi yitein means who could give halavai they should have this fear all their life. But in the Kutat Torah, the Alter Rebbe teaches that what it means is mi yitein, there's a level in shamayim called mi. And that level yitein could give le'yira esi kol hayomim that they could have yira shamayim. So here we see that there is a level from Hashem that is called mi, and from that level comes even yira shamayim. So going back to the story with this shadar, that here we see that from the level of mi you could have yira shamayim. Therefore, what he said was wrong. And when the Aibishter said this to Moshe Rabbeinu, Moshe Rabbeinu was the leader, the Reish El Yisrael. So this gave Moshe Rabbeinu the koach, and also all the Moshe Rabbeinus from every generation, pastus of the Moshe b'chol dor v'dor, the koach from the level of mi that they could be mamshich to yidden the yonim ruchnim. And b'meile, asking the Rebbe for a broche for yonim ruchnim is not a problem because from a very high madriga you could be mamshich even yonim ruchnim, and to the Rebbe was given that koach.
