0611 - Kinus of Tzach - Shlichus

00:01 The seder is that Chol Hameitzukis, there is a kinus of Tzach. And the kinus takes place in seven seventy. But at the end of the Yud's and the beginning of the Chaf's, the kinus took place in a different place. There was a hall on Kingston and Lincoln, or Kingston and St. John's, which was called something like Bnei Jacob, something like that. And that's where the kinus would take place during the day of Chol Hameitzukis. And the seder was that that night was the Simchas Beis Hashoeveh farbrengen of the Rebbe. Because we know in the earlier years, the Rebbe would farbrengen the second day Sukis, and also would farbrengen one day Chol Hameitzukis, the weekdays in the Sukeh. And that was a special farbrengen of Simchas Beis Hashoeveh, had to do with Yeshiva Bochum, et cetera, et cetera. But that was the farbrengen. That stopped after Tov Shin Chof Dalet, which means the last time I think it was Chof Dalet. Chof Hei already there was no farbrengen Simchas Beis Hashoeveh, and that stopped. But the seder used to be those years that the hemshech of the kinus of Tzach used to be by the farbrengen of the Rebbe of Simchas Beis Hashoeveh. And the seder used to be that the Rebbe would ask somebody from Tzach by the farbrengen to give a report of what took place by the kinus during the day, and the Rebbe would then speak about it. So I want to repeat what was the seder Tov Shin Chof Aleph, which

01:21 was the first time that I was there by this kinus and by the farbrengen of Simchas Beis Hashoeveh. The kidos was like every year in the hall. At night, by the farbrengen Simchas Beis Hashoeveh, the Rebbe said that as it is every year, somebody will give over bekitzer a report of what happened during the day. And then the clo-- the hemshech will be here, even though now it's at night already, but by kochim, halaila heilchach acharei yom, the night goes after the day, v'meile this is a hemshech to the kinus. And then the Rebbe said that the yeshiv Rosh of the kinus should give over a report. And the Rebbe smiled, and the Rebbe said, "Mistamé der geven einer vos hi gezessnen afm kop." It's an expression. Yeshiv Rosh is a play on word. Gezessen sat on his head. The Rebbe made a joke of it, and he said, "Mistamé der geven einer dat vos hi gezessnen afm kop." Anyway, that that yeshiv Rosh should give over a report. And Reb Heske Gansburg, if I remember correctly, got up and bekitzer said something that, that what happened by the kinus. Gave a report bekitzer what happened by the kinus. After he gave the report, the Rebbe spoke about dinim of shlichas. And the Rebbe said, from the report we see that the main nekuda that was spoken about was that the main thing is not the past, but we have to plan for the future. So the Rebbe said the main thing is that we

02:41 should know that everyone is able to and should have the will to go. And the Rebbe referred to the ma'aseh of the Baal Shem Tov, which he referred to earlier in the farbrengen. That a goy came in and asked the talmidim of the Baal Shem Tov to help him with something, pull out a horse from the mud or something. And they said, "We don't-- We can't." And he answered, "You could, you just don't want to." Moshe's done it, Choch is in Russian. So the Rebbe referred to that you ha-- you are able to, and you have to have the, the rotsn, the will to do it. And the Rebbe said as much as we did great things so far, but it's very, very little compared to what we could do. And the Rebbe kept on saying that when you go to a place and there's nobody else to do anything, you have to give yourself over with your whole seriousness to the aveida. Then you're able to conquer a whole city. He said, "I don't mean officially conquer, but you could conquer it and peil on everybody, the young ones or the old ones. You could peil that even other places will hear of what you're doing." The Rebbe said, "I don't want to mention any names, but that's the fact. As we saw in the earlier years, that even without great expenses and without the great tirtcha, if you have the proper hachlota, the proper resolution to do it, knowing that it means you

03:44 and you plan to do it, you will accomplish, and you will have aashpoya on the whole place. And this is certainly even if there's one person, but if certainly there's more than one person there, you could do accomplish much more." And he quoted the Gemara that we see that something that one person could do, two people could do not double, but much more. And the Rebbe says, "We see takeh lately that the mania, the problem is not money. If you work, there will not be missing any money. And you are-- there are people to work, you just have to give yourself over." Now, you have to work on it, the Rebbe said, not to rely on other people. Because some people say, "Who am I to do anything about it?" And some people, she'ev al tai so, "Why should I do it? I worked so hard till now." So the Rebbe says, "Mashiach is waiting for people to work, and long as you don't lig ishtusim," which is a nareshkait, the Rebbe said, "that you davka wanna drink fresh milk every day, you wanna go for a walk on Broadway Avenue, or to show a trick that you're in New York and you still don't go on Broadway Avenue. You have to know the shlichas is davka to a place," it says in Samach Vav, "where you do not want to be." That's where your shlichas is. And we take a saw that those that took upon themselves such a shlichas, it was nothing missing,

04:49 not even begashmiyas, and certainly not beruchniyas. So those that Rebbe said that wanna sit with the cholov and lavash, the milk and honey of American, of New York, so them, they are in a matzav that mishtah ini mishtah er. They're take a great, but they're not a shliach of the Rebbe. They're not doing the rotsn of the Rebbe. And the Rebbe said, "I'm not saying any names, but those that I mean know that I mean them." But the main thing is that there should be a shin lim lakotza al hakotza now, that people should accept upon themselves the shlichas of the Rebbe. And to go wherever it's needed to go, whether it's across the street or across the yam or even further, but they should know that the Rebbe is going along with them. And the Rebbe said it's possible for a person to be close to the Tzion, to the oil of the shver, but you should be far away. Like the posek says, ponoi lai erev olei ponim. On the other hand, you could be far from there, but you could be ponim beponim. And the Rebbe said that you shouldn't wait. There should be a yira from gezera gezarti vchuke chacharti that I should like t- be m- make a gezera to go, but people should themselves a chonschlag and they should come themselves and offer themselves that they want all the gute zach and begashmi asu beruch. V'meile they wanna go to certain places which is f- far from or whatever,

06:02 a few kilometer or wherever, far from the dal dalmas of the Rebbe, but you should-- that's where they wanna go. And then they will take a have good begashmi asu beruchniyas. And the Rebbe said, if they do this, they will peil take it. It should be de'efanavu faratstu yoma vekedmu tsefenu venegbo. And together with the Rebbe, the meshaleach, all the schluchim will go in front to greet Mashiach, and all the others will zach noch shlep, will shlep along with them. And then the Rebbe said they should sing the nigun Ki Hona Mecho, which seems to be some nigun that has shreiches to Tzach. And they, when they sang the nigun, the Rebbe got up and made with his hands very strongly, uh, to strengthen the singing of this nigun.
