0652 - R' Yoel Kahn 02 - Style of Hanochos in First Person

00:01 Rabbi Yael once told me that the way the style of the Hanotas are written, and Bechal of the Sichas of the Rebbe are written, he's the one that instituted it. If you look and compare the Hanotas of the Rebbe's Farbrengens versus the Hanotas of the Friedrich Rebbe's Farbrengens, the Rebbe Nashaps Farbrengens, they're completely different. By the other Rabbeim, whenever Hanoch Farbrengen, it's as we call it, Kishlishi HaMedaber. They're writing about the Farbrengen. Someone is writing, the Rebbe said, spoke about this thing, and then he explained this, and then the Rebbe said this. It's written Bekitzer, just Bechalolas what-- as, as if telling a story of a Farbrengen. Somebody's telling a story about a certain Farbrengen and brings in points of what the Rebbe said. In the Hanotas and the Sichas Bechal of the Rebbe, it's not like that. It's as if the Rebbe's talking. The Fab- the Sichas, the Hanotas are written that the Tekhen is the Rebbe is saying these things. And when you read the Hanotas and Bechal Yuri Farbrengen, you read the Sicha, you're following what the Rebbe's saying. In other words, it's the Rebbe himself talking. And that style, Rabbi Yael said he decided that that's the best way to do it. And that's why it's written that way. And it's much better, Taka. You get all the details of whatever was remembered, obviously, and the way it was understood by the one that wrote it. But you get all the details, and you follow, and you feel like it was

01:15 a Farbrengen. But if the, uh, the other ways is just you're an outsider telling about a Farbrengen, and this is much better, and that's the style, the way it was written all the years, and even the Mugedike Sichas, the Gutes Sichas, it's all written in that same style, and it's all thanks to Rabbi Yael.
