0685 - R' Yoel Kahn 35 - Must Be Botel (nullified) to the Rebbe Even More Than a Typewriter

00:01 I said in the previous voice note that Reb Yael used to farbreng a lot about being bottled to the Rebbe, and he used the moshel of a typewriter. And he was really talking about himself because he used to type the sichas in the Mamorem. So he said that just like the typewriter types the sichas in the Mamorem, but it's not a mitzias for itself. So too, the one that types it also has to feel that he is bottled to the Rebbe like the typewriter, and he's only a keleter which the Rebbe's words go through. But I think that the Rebbe, in something that the Rebbe wrote to him later, is trying to tell him that that's true, but you also have to be a mitzias for himself, which means that like the Rebbe explains the difference between an eved and a shliach. An eved has no mitzias for himself at all. He does only what he's told. But the shliach has to use his own seichel. He has to make decisions. He has to understand. He has to figure out. He has to figure out what he thinks the Rebbe meant. So in addition to being bottled, you can't be just completely bottled like the typewriter. You have to have your mitzias, and that mitzias should be in the form of bittle. And I think that's what the Rebbe meant when he wrote him something. This was in the beginning of the Lameds, I think, that one day Reb Chadakov called in Reb Yael and

01:06 myself and said the Rebbe wants you to write to him that you're mekabel upon yourself a certain thing concerning the writing of the sichas, etc., etc. And he wants it to be written before the So Reb Yael right away typed the letter saying, ha'reinu mekabel malatzmeinu to do so and so. And since he hadn't gone to the mikveh yet and the Rebbe needed it now, so he typed his name and his mother's name. And I on the side signed my name and my mother's name. We gave it to Rabbi Chadakov. He gave it to the Rebbe. The Rebbe went to the ayo. When the Rebbe came back from the ayo, I think it was after mincha or something like that, as soon as he came back from the ayo, the Rebbe, Rabbi Chadakov calls us and the Rebbe answered. What the Rebbe did was he circled around Reb Yael's name that was typed. And these are the words that he wrote. He wrote, ha'imu hu mekabel alatzmei ei mechunas aksive. Are you accepting this upon yourself or the typewriter? What the Rebbe meant to ask is why didn't you sign your name? Why did you type it? But I always wondered why did the Rebbe write it in such a way? Should I have written lomalech hasam or something like that? Why did he write in such a way? I think the Rebbe was teaching the sinyan that it has to be a typewriter, but that you have to be mekabel upon yourself also. That

02:19 means that in addition to being bottled, you have to have the understanding of the nionim and use your own seichel and all these nionim that you have to use your mitzias in order to get to what the Rebbe wants. So if it's based on bittle, then your seichel will always figure out what the Rebbe wants.
