Delivering a Sefer Torah to Eretz Yisroel

00:01 The broadcast is located the yard site of Arabah Chassid, Rabiankev Yehuda Majeski, Alav HaSholim. He was nifter on Chofei Yoder, Tov Shin, Lamed Gimel, 1973. Rabbi Majeski lived in Crown Heights and was a menail in Beis Rivka School during the years from Tov Shin Yud Gimel to Tov Shin Lamed Gimel, from 1953 to 1973. He was also active in the Young Israel Shul of Crown Heights. In Tov Shin Chof Tes, 1969, when he was in Yechidas private audience by the Rebbe, the Rebbe suggested that since after the 1967 war, many Jewish organizations were contributing Sifrei Teydah for Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim Atika, which was then being broadened. If Rabbi Majeski can suggest to the Young Israel Board, where he worked, to donate a Sifrei Teydah for Yerushalayim. Rabbi Majeski thought himself that this is not exactly his decision to make, but nevertheless he approached the Vad and they agreed. Rabbi Majeski himself traveled with the Sifrei Teydah on the plane. The plane was full, but there was also an empty seat near him, a vacant seat on which he placed the Sifrei Teydah, which was contained in a box, and he brought it to Yerushalayim. He hoped that he will personally be able to participate in the event of the Hachnasah Sifrei Teydah, which was to be in the Tzemach Tzedek Shul in Yerushalayim. But for a specific reason, the plan of the Shul was that the formal grand Hachnasah Sifrei Teydah will be the next day, when Rabbi Majeski already needed to be on his way

02:17 back home. But while he was there, Rabbi Zushev Wilmowski and additional Chassidim made the Hachnasah with a minyan as it should be. Rabbi Majeski returned to the United States with the ill feeling that he was not able to participate in this joyous event for a Sifrei Teydah that the Rebbe initiated to be sent to the Tzemach Tzedek Shul. It was towards the end of Adar when he wrote a letter expressing his feelings to the Rebbe. He did not get a response from the Rebbe at the time. About a month later, on Mitzoy Achran Shel Pesach, during Keshel Bracha, when the Rebbe distributed wine to all, Rabbi Majeski also approached the Rebbe for Keshel Bracha, and the Rebbe then said to him the following. I'll say it first in Yiddish, the way the Rebbe said it, and then translate it in English. The main thing is that they know here, the Rebbe pointed with his finger downward, and they know there while pointing with his finger upward to heaven, which means the main thing was accomplished as long as they know here and they know there. And this is what comforted Rabbi Majeski.
