0699 - Klois Hanefesh - Operation of the Modzhitzer Rebbe

00:01 In the fabregen of the Shabbos before Yidalef Nisim Tovshim Mem Dalet, the Rebbe spoke about Ginyon of Klei Sanefesh. It was connected to the story with Reb Zeider, with Rabbe and Reb Zeider when they drank Ampurim and Rabbe shochted Reb Zeider, that whole thing. So the Rebbe spoke about Klei Sanefesh. There's a possibility of a person being completely involved in something in his amkus, that he's completely beyond this world as if his nefesh leaves the body. And he said we find something like that even in our times. And he told a story that he heard from Peleh Shachsidim, Benigei the Mozhitze Rebbe. The Mozhitze Rebbe was sick and he went to Berlin to the doctors. And the doctor said that he needs an operation. But since his heart is weak, they don't know if he'll be able to take the operation. When he heard this, he said they should wait till he sings a nigun. And when he gets deep into the nigun, then they could do the operation. The Rebbe said it was known that he was very big baal menagen. So he said when he'll be bedvekes into the nigun, he'll be so involved he will not feel what they're doing to him. And then they'll be able to do the operation and nothing will happen because he won't feel anything. And that's what happened. They waited till he sang the nigun. And then when he was deep involved in the nigun, they did the operation. Everything went over beshalom. So the Rebbe

01:22 said this is a story that we see an example even in our times that you can have a person that has klei sanefesh as his neshama is completely involved in other things. The Rebbe told other stories also about the Alter Rebbe and the story about the Rebbe Rashab. But this is an interesting story that the Rebbe told over about the Mozhitze Rebbe.
