0608 - Bochurim Learning - Yoshev by the Rebbe Maharash - R' Meir Shlomo Yanovsky

00:01 Speaker 1 This Inyan that I said, and the Rebbe told about his grandfather who was from the

00:04 Speaker 2 Yeshivim of Lubavitch in the Farbrengen of Purim Tov, Shuchov Ches. The Rebbe says the Rebbe spoke about it once before that also in the Farbrengen Shabbos Parshas in the case Tov, Shem Tazya. And obviously, I wasn't there. It was before my time. But you could see in the Sicha that Rebbe spoke about it. And more Barichas, the Rebbe spoke about it in the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas in Tzofim Vayeilech in the year of Tov, Shin, Mem, Vav. And this is what the Rebbe said in more Barichas. He said that in those days before Yeshivas Temichat Mima was established, there were young elite that right after the Chasanah, they would go to Lubavitch to be in the vicinity of the Rebbe Marash, and they would stay there for a Meshech Zman in order to learn Nigle Chassidus in the form of Hisyashvus, which means in a settled way. That's why they were called Yeshivim. And the Rebbe went on in saying, concerning the time before you get married, it's more Chidush that you should all day sit and learn. Maika Mashmalon. How could it be different? Adera, but we'd have to talk about it to be made it. It's, it's embarrassment. How could you even think that it should be a Hava Minya that it's not like that? A Bocher when he becomes Bar Mitzvah, and even before Bar Mitzvah, when he's just being educated, before he even starts thinking about money and COVID, et cetera, et cetera, was ogled with Apashtus that his whole Inyan

01:15 Speaker 2 is learning Torah. When the time when you have to learn in Yeshiva, for sure, Maika Mashmalon, even the time when it's not part of Seder HaYeshiva, time when you eat and you drink, and time when you sleep. Also from those times, a Bocher would know that he has to steal some time in order to learn Torah. And this was instilled in a Bocher from the moment he started breathing the air in his house that he was born and he was raised. And certainly, you don't have to be Meimeid about it. Even more, when you get closer to the time of Shidduchim, time to get married, then you read he has to start thinking about Parnassa, as the Rambam says that you should have Parnassa before you get married. He also knew that nevertheless, the Ikar is his learning Torah. Like the Mishnah says, it should be Toros Chokva. Your learning should be the main thing that you have. Not only that, and when it came to the time when he actually has to get involved in working, he would feel bad about it. Sometimes you even have to remind him that this is what he's supposed to do. The Chidush was in the case that after he got married, that he would go to Lubavitch and stay there for a Meshech Zman to learn Torah, to learn Igri L'Chassidus. Lim-- in, in spite that Richai Malzavori, which is an expression that means that he has a Parnassa on his responsibility, on his shoulders. And he

02:24 Speaker 2 has a Ischaiv, it's an obligation that he has upon himself called Sheiros Kusuy Reinen to support his family. Nevertheless, at this time, they would go and sit in Lubavitch, and that was the foundation on which they built their host for-- homes for their whole life. Besides the Etzem Zach, that at the time that they did it, this was something special that they were able to sit and learn then, but this became the seal for their whole life after that. And the Rebbe said this is not only a story from the past, but from that we have to learn for the present that this is how we're supposed to behave. And this goes not only for a Bocher before the Chasanah, for like he said before, there is no-- he has no responsibility of Parnassa. So certainly, he has to learn. But even after he gets married, when then Al Pi Torah, he's supposed to get involved in the Yom of Parnassa, you have to set time to learn, I say Toros Chokva. And this has to be the foundation of his whole life. And when this is the foundation of your whole life, then you get to Lechafillah River, which is the mother of the Rebbe Marash, and this is connected to Rebbe Marash because this Rebbe said it in connection to his grandfather was a Yeshiva, the Rebbe Marash. And then even comes to Parnassa, you will have the Brocha in the Parnassa, that you won't even need to work so hard in order

03:34 Speaker 2 to make a Kalev of Parnassa. The Rebbe told the story with the Balshem Tov, and he connected also the Rebbe Marash, who on him they said that there were Balshemske Anhuges by the Rebbe Marash, that once he needed some money, and he knocked on someone's window, and they walked away, and the person opened the window. He saw he wasn't there. He went out, and he chased him, and he said, "What did you want?" And he said, "I need some money." He said, "Why didn't you wait till I open?" He said, "All I had to do was make a Kalev. Some people have to make a Kalev of working, but me, the knocking on the window was enough Kalev." So the Rebbe said that Brocha, if this is what you do to be like the Yeshivim by the Rebbe Marash, this is the foundation of your life, you even will have Parnassa. Now to go back to the Gey of what was the vort of the Rebbe's grandfather that he said in the Farbrengen Purim Tov, Shuchov Ches, that will be in the next voice note.
