0741 - Recognizing Hashem and his Miracles Part 2 - Entebee

00:01 The hemsekhe to the saving of the hostages that were taken to Entebbe and the Rebbe's whole tumah that they were nisim, have to thank Hashem for the nisim, etc. And those people, the Tanya, they were no nisim because they can't have nisim through fraye people. And since the one that saved them were not frum, and b'meile they can't be nisim, etc., etc. So there has a hemsekhe. Came to Simchas Torah. The Rebbe spoke about it again, as he-- I said before, he spoke about it many times during that season. And he said he would like that Rabbonim should answer two shailas. Then the third shaila he added on Shabbos Breishis. The two shailas are like this. If somebody who was one of the hostages and comes back to that place, is he mechuyav to make a bracha she'asa li nes v'mokeh maze? Because the din is that if a person has a miracle happen to him and he comes back to that place, he has to make a bracha she'asa li nes v'mokeh maze, thanking Hashem that made him- made for him a miracle in this place. Would the Rabbonim pasken, does he have to make a bracha or not? And that will be the right-- If you have to make that bracha, I mean, there was a nes. A second shaila. When it comes to go to a doctor, is there such a inyan to make sure to go to a frum doctor? If someone is not frum, you sh- can't go to him.

01:20 And the reason would be because if he's not frum, Hashem doesn't do anything to him. We believe that everything comes from Hashem. So if the doctor cures, it's not the doctor who cures, it's only a keilet Hashem. And if you say that a non-frum person cannot be a keilet for Hashem to do miracles, then, then you shouldn't go to a frum doctor. It's only to a frum doctor. Is there such a thing that you'd only go to a frum doctor? And if you say that it's a natural thing that's not frum, then it's even worse. Then you're not saying it comes from the Aibyshtet. And if it comes from the Aibyshtet... So pasken the din, the Rebbe wanted it should pasken clear this din. If a person has to go to a doctor, does-- i-is there a inyan to go to afka to a frum doctor? Because otherwise, Aibyshtet can't-- will not do any brachos and nisim and anything through a person who is not frum. And then the third question that the Rebbe added on Shabbos Breishis was, if chas v'shalom something like this happens and other places people could be kidnapped. And as they were talking situations, people were kidnapped in other places, ach bonu l'tsan, this shouldn't happen. But if chas v'shalom it happens and there-- you wanna know if you're to go to save the person, you have to be mechallel Shabbos. But it's because it's pikuach nefesh. But the one that tells you that it's pikuach nefesh is somebody who's

02:36 not frum. He says, "I'm telling you it's dangerous." Now, we don't know if it is or not. You have to rely on the doc-- on the person, the muncha, the expert. And if the expert is not frum, would you rely on the expert who's not frum and b'meile go to be mechallel Shabbos in order to save the person or not? And the Rebbe asked that people should not be afraid and should answer these three shailas. And these three shailas will be the ones that will prove whether there were nisim here or not. So it's an interesting thing that the Rebbe put these shai-- And there were Rabbonim who came out and answered the three shailas. There were some Rabbonim who didn't sign their names to the answer, and the Rebbe was upset about it. But the peil, the Rebbe wanted that they should answer the shailas, and that would prove this point if there was a nes. And the Rebbe kept on saying that this was a nes, and it's a nes, and there's no such thing. Hashem doesn't do nisim through people who are not frum, etc., etc. In the fabrengen of Chof Kislev, the Rebbe spoke about it again. And the Rebbe said an interesting thing. He said he got a letter from a Rav in Eretz Yisrael, and he didn't wanna mention his name. He said because if he mentions his name, you never know what's gonna happen. People are gonna send him pashkeviler. People are gonna, uh, break his mirrors, etc.,

03:48 etc. Those people who claim that you can't say it. And he writes to the Rebbe. The Rebbe-- He writes to Rebbe. Uh, it was known then, I can't say I know for sure, but it was known then that the person who wrote this letter was a Rav Zevin. But the Rebbe didn't mention his name in fabrengen. And the Rebbe had that he wrote to him that there's a story with Rav Velvel of Brisk. The Rebbe said Rav Velvel of Brisk. And somebody came to Rav Velvel of Brisk and asked him that there are two doctors, and he has to go to a doctor, and they're both just as good, both just as experts the same way. Is there a inyan to go to afka to a frum doctor? So he writes that he nazav vei, he screamed at him, and he said, "Don't mention when it comes to refuah. Don't mention at all dinim of frumka davar shamaim." And the Rebbe went into the whole Ariekha saying, "We're talking the person who was medayek in his words." So not only did he say that it's n-not important that he should be to afka a frum doctor, he screamed at him, and he wanted to make sure that people know that. And the Rebbe explained why. Because even though in this case they were both equal, so why shouldn't you go to the frum guy? But if he would have said that frum guy makes-- plays a role here, other people next time will not know--

04:55 realize that. They will say, "Oh, remember that he said a frum doctor is better." So even if the frum doctor is not as good as the other one, people will do it. And he made sure that people should know that. And the Rebbe said that he was medayek in his words. He was a gadol b'Yisrael. And he made sure that later on people should know that. So the Rebbe said that this is the inyan that what he was talking about. Is there an inyan to go to a frum doctor to afka? And he said, "Clearly there's nothing. Don't mention frum guy when it comes to going doctor." Dikah is if he's a doctor, you go to him for his because there's a refuah. And this was all to prove the point that these people should answer the shaila. And by doing that, they will automatically themselves say that this was a nes. And this was a long time the Rebbe went into it, and they made a whole shturem in Lubavitch, obviously, but even by other people about this thing. The Rebbe made such a big fuss over it and pushed the point that we should realize that they were nisim here, and the people who m- went there and put themselves on the line, their life on the line, did great things, and they're guaranteed to have Olam Haba.
