7 of Nissan תרצ"ט - Passing of Rabbi Alter Simchavitz

00:00 Speaker 1 Okay, so now we're doing, uh, for the seventh day of Nisan and the Yemei Chabad, uh, in the year Taf Reish Tzadik Tes, Rab Alter Simchovitz, who was a mashpia in Yeshivas Torchat Mimim in Sadrin and in Rostov and Yerushalayim, and he was one of the one who would be from the choizrim of the Rebbe Rashab. It was a very special-- And I know because I was in Torah Semes for Shlichas, and he was the mashpim. He was sent over there, uh, by the Rebbe Rashab, and he headed-- He was the main mashpia in the yeshiva over there. So he passed away on this day. In general, and, uh, in, in-- it happened on this day, so we know that the Nasi, uh, that was in year two thousand, Taf Mem Tes, Beis Taf Mem Tes, Elishama Ben Amihud, uh, that was the leader, the Nasi of the tribe of Ephraim. He brought his Korban for the dedication of the Mishkan. Um, in the year Taf Peh Ches, uh, Beis Aleph and Taf Peh Ches, those were the days that the mourning, the crying for Moshe Rabbeinu finished, and Yeshua Bin Nun, who was the, uh, successor, he notified that Hashem had told him to go over the Jordan River.
