Bais Nissan (2nd of Nissan) - Part IV

00:01 Behemesekh to the earlier installments benegea to Beis Nisan, the Yemai Lula of the Rebbe Rashab. We continue now with installment number four, discussing the Seder by the Rebbe on Beis Nisan throughout the years. Rab Shmulovitin, one of the older Hasidim who saw the Rebbe Rashab, he would daven for the Amud, the three tefillahs of Ma'ariv, Shacharis, and Mincha. Likewise, he would also daven on Yud Gimmel, Tishrei, which is the Yemai Lula of the Rebbe Mahrash, as we heard over the years since he was the first person to be named after the Rebbe Mahrash. He was born a month after the Hastalkos of the Rebbe Mahrash in late 1882. After Ma'ariv, which marked the beginning of the day of Beis Nisan, the Rebbe would take out money from his pocket and give it to Rab Shmul, who was also mashpia in yeshiva that he should fabreng with the bacharim in honor of the day. The Rebbe would every year travel to the ayel, to the resting place of his father-in-law, the previous Rebbe. Beis Nisan could never fall out on Shabbos, and when we research the years, we don't find even once that the Rebbe fabrenged on this day, Beis Nisan. One of the inyanim that took place on Beis Nisan was it came behemesekh to Rishchei de Nisan. Rishchei de Nisan, when it was not on Shabbos, the Rebbe would customarily take Mayim Shalono, draw water from the well, and this was for the baking of the matzah the next day on Beis Nisan. This

02:17 matzah was baked for the purpose to be sent to Yidden in Eretz Israel, to Hasidim in Eretz Israel, Anash, and also other countries, but the bulk was Eretz Israel. The seder was that the Rebbe would come out by sunset, shkiya time, Rishchei de Nisan, again, if it was not on Shabbos. He would rinse one of the vessels, one of the jars, and he would pour three pours, and the rest of the jars were filled by those who were in charge of the baking of the matzah the next day. When the matzahs were all baked and packed, they arrived in 770, and the Rebbe would be mafrish challah. The Rebbe would put on his gartel. The Rebbe would say this one-line brocha from a siddur. Rebbe was very particular to say everything from a siddur. The Rebbe said, recited the brocha from the siddur, and then the Rebbe would watch how the matzahs are being placed in the van, going to the airport to Eretz Israel, and the matzahs were later distributed in various cities where Hasidim were able to pick up a piece of matzah of the Rebbe, that the Rebbe sent exclusively for Hasidim in Eretz Israel, and they were able to have it at their seder. This was approximately a week before Pesach, by the time that it got around, circulated in Eretz Israel and other countries. Im yirtzeh Hashem, in the next installment, we will discuss certain occasions where the Rebbe either mentioned Beis Nisan or he spoke on Beis Nisan a

04:37 sicha. It was a sicha for about 20 minutes or more, and we find it on a few occasions, as we'll mention in the next installment, im yirtzeh Hashem.
