0716 - Avinu Malkeinu Chatanu Lefanecha

00:00 I want to mention something that I'm not sure people are aware of, that when they said Avinu Malkeinu, the whole Avinu Malkeinu, not like Rosh Hashanah where you skip certain pieces, so you also skip the first Avinu Malkeinu Chatan Ulefanecha, because at Rosh Hashanah we don't mention anything about Neveiros. But other times, like I said, Yesim Michuva or Tain Nesibur or Yom Kippur, so you would start off with Avinu Malkeinu Chatan Ulefanecha, and then the next line, Avinu Malkeinu Zavinu Malkeinu Ein Lo Ne'malach Al Oto. So every time we said Avinu Malkeinu, all the time, whether it's the whole Avinu Malkeinu or even the one that you skip these few lines, the Rebbe would make with his hand and people and everybody would sing, and the Rebbe would be part of the singing, would make with his hand and join into the singing. So I don't know if people noticed that before the Rebbe participated in the song of Avinu Malkeinu Ein Lo Ne'malach Al Oto, the Rebbe would say the line quietly, Avinu Malkeinu Chatan Ulefanecha, those days that he did say that. How did we know he did it? Because you would see when they started singing, they started singing right away. But the Rebbe would take with his hand and make like you do by Tachnun that you bang on your chest. So you could see right away before the Rebbe participated, he would bang on his chest and then when he waved his hands to sing, which means the Rebbe made

01:21 sure to say before you say the one Avinu Malkeinu Ein Lo Ne'malach Al Oto with the song, he would make sure to say Avinu Malkeinu Chatan Ulefanecha. And obviously that's what you're supposed to do because those days, like in Rosh Hashanah, it doesn't start with Avinu Malkeinu Ein Lo Ne'malach Al Oto besides Rosh Hashanah. It starts with Avinu Malkeinu Chatan Ulefanecha. So the Rebbe would make sure to say it and bang on his chest like he did by Yeshamnu. And then pretty fast he said it, but then he joined and made the hands to sing.
