0665 - R' Yoel Kahn 15 - Omit His Name from Shar Blat of Sefer Ha'erchin

00:00 When Reb Yael was working on the Sefer Ha'erkim, on the first volume, before it was printed. So I asked him, and I told him, I imagine that on the cover, on the front page, on the Sharblat, it's gonna say his name, just like it says in the Encyclopedia Talmudis. It says it was made by the, the Eret Rosh, who the head editor is, et cetera, et cetera. Here it'll say that it was made by him. So I said, "I imagine that's what it's gonna say." And he told me, "No, it's not gonna say his name. He's not gonna let his name to be written there." So I said, "Why?" So he says, "Because you think it's my kayach. It's not my kayach. It's the kayach of the Rebbe. This is-- I'm just a tool for the Rebbe." Therefore, he said, it's going to be... He's going to make sure that it's gonna have the sharblat of the Rebbe. We know that all the Rabbeim, each one of the Rebbe's, when you have a safer of the Rebbe, you have a special design on the front cover. So he said it's gonna have the design of the Rebbe's for him because he's doing it as doing it as-- it's the Rebbe doing it through him. And his name is gonna be mentioned in the Pesach Dover somehow that you have to write who, who's involved, but it's not gonna say his name. And this was even before, uh, they knew exactly how it's gonna look in

01:14 the front. It was not mamish ready to be printed yet. And already he told me that for sure he's not gonna allow that it should say his name because he doesn't give himself any credit at all. He gave me even an example. He said, when a shliach does a pul and he's matzliach, v'atzlocha rabba, he's the pshat that the shliach is matzliach. If he's a real shliach, he knows that this is the Rebbe's keichas. So here also he knows the Rebbe, and therefore it's gonna have the Rebbe's sharblat. And lapel mamish, I don't know how it went, if they asked the Rebbe or the Rebbe said. I don't know. Lapel mamish, it has the Rebbe's sharblat, and his name doesn't say na-- in the sharblat. It says just it's made through a chaver marechas, through a group of, of editors, but it doesn't say his name. In the Pesach Dover, some place there it says his name. But he wouldn't let it. He said he's not gonna do it because it's not really him. It's not his keichas at all.
