0712 - Standing Up for the Rebbe Created a Special Feeling Till This Day

00:01 We know that whenever you would stand up for the Rebbe, you were fulfilling the mitzvah of Kibud Rabbe, obviously, and it had a certain Hergish. But there were certain times that it was even more special. For instance, if you would stand up when the Rebbe came into Fabringen, that was obvious. Obviously, the Rebbe came in, everyone stood up. Or other times, like the Rebbe came into Davening, if anybody was sitting, and you would stand up. But then there was a certain Hergish by a certain special time. We know that the Rebbe in the Yuds, the Chofs, and in the Lamedz, the Rebbe would not daven with the Minyan Shachris. Except Monday and Thursday, he would come to Kiryat Ataira. So the Rebbe would come for 10 o'clock from his house. But the other days of the week, the Rebbe would come maybe 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, not every day the same thing. The Bochrim were in the middle of Seder, the Bochrim were learning in the Zal upstairs. The door to the hallway was always open. And when the Rebbe would come, let's say 12, 1 o'clock, and come from the street into the hallway, and then go into his room, Godayim Elian, everybody would see it, and everybody would stand up. So this was a special feeling that you're sitting, and not, there's no Fabringen, there's not coming to Davening. But in the middle of doing what you were supposed to be doing, just sitting and learning, and all of a sudden the Rebbe

01:20 comes in, and the Rebbe wouldn't come into the Zal, but he would walk by that you could see him. Everybody would stand up. That brought out such a special feeling of connection to the Rebbe. The feeling that you're standing up, that immediately standing up special for the Rebbe. Which is similar to when a Sefer Torah walks by. Let's say someone brings in a Sefer Torah in the middle of like you're learning or whatever you're doing, you have to stand up. So the same feeling you had, but even more. You're standing up for the Rebbe. So much so that it left an impression, I could tell you, that Ad Hayem Azeh, if I ever sit in Shul or in Yeshiva or whatever, and somebody brings a Sefer Torah, not in the regular time when you daven and they take out the Sefer Torah, but in the middle, somebody for some reason brings in a Sefer Torah or takes out a Sefer Torah, you stand up. The first thing that would come to my mind is reliving the feeling that you had when the Rebbe walked by when you were sitting and learning, sitting in the Zal and the Rebbe walked by and everyone would stand up. And always reminds me of that and brings out a special feeling towards the Rebbe that it's very, very hard to describe. But that was something that would happen every day, besides Monday and Thursday, but every weekday when you were sitting, it would happen. And sometimes it would happen

02:37 in the afternoon also, the Rebbe went home in the middle of the Seder, but such times when it wasn't a set time for people to stand up, but all of a sudden you would stand up in honor of the Rebbe, that brought a special, specific connection to the Rebbe. And Ad Hayem Azeh, whenever a Sefer Torah comes by and you stand up, this is what comes to my mind and it awakens again that he's kashas to the Rebbe.
