0657 - R' Yoel Kahn 07 - Chazara Shavuos Night

00:01 When we talk about the chazara that Reb Yael did, which was after every farbrengen, almost every farbrengen, sometimes there was a tape, so maybe lavdavka there was an official chazara, whatever, but concerning the chazara that Reb Yael did. So there were always Reb Yael chazaran, there was always other people who helped around, some were chesrim, some stam, and it was a small crowd. But there was one time of the year that the chazara was very, very betakev, and you could see mitn gantzis shturem, you could say, which was And that was when the Rebbe said shvuas at night, the first night of shvuas, three o'clock in the morning, the Rebbe would say a maimer. The maimer would last, let's say, 45 minutes, an hour, whatever it was. And the whole elom was there. It was a special tziur. It was very quiet because no children were there. There was no noise, and everyone listened. The Rebbe came in, just sat down, but anes tichal, waited a moment or two, no nigunim, and the Rebbe said the maimer, and then as soon as he finished, he got up and left. And what would happen after that? Reb Yael got up on the spot and started chazaring the maimer. The whole elom was still there. You had the whole elom of how many thousands of people were still there, were there by the maimer. Most of the people stayed because the chazara was right there, and it wasn't so long. And Reb Yael got up with a

01:12 full keyachud and chazared the maimer. And some people have put in some words, but bechaval, he chazared the maimer straight. And this was the greatest tziur of chazara of the whole year. And the truth is, he listened to the maimer very strongly. I remember once I was watching him while the Rebbe was saying the maimer, and he closed his eyes. To me, I thought maybe, chas v'shalom, he fell asleep in the middle of the maimer because it's the middle of the night. But right after that, he got up and he chazared the maimer mitn gantzis shturem. And then everyone, the few people went, everyone went home. The few people went to Reb Shie Korv's house, and it was chazara again. Then they served blintzes to the few people that came there. Then came back to 717, chazared, and the people were there and knew the maimer already. And then the maimer was chazared many times. But I want to just bring out the tziur of Reb Yael's chazara by that maimer was something very special.
