The 2nd Night Pesach by the Rebbe

00:00 The hemsekhta and earlier installment benigiya to the Rebbe's fabrengens on the second night Pesach, which would take place after the Seder. Later years it was 1.30 a.m. and the fabrengen would go on for several hours, approximately 4 a.m. And this was a hemsek of 20 years from 1951 through Tov Shelamed 1970. So this installment will continue, Be'ezras Hashem, discussing specific years and events that took place during these fabrengens. In Tov Shem Yud Aleph 1951, which was the first year, first Pesach after the Kabbalas HaMesius, the formal way the Rebbe accepted the Mesius Yitzvat, right after the Seder, the Rebbe said as follows. That the previous Rebbe said that the nigun keli atovei deka, which is a nigun composed by the Alter Rebbe, is a zgula for Gili Eliyahu, revelation of Eliyahu. And therefore they should sing the nigun with joy and with a dance. After that, the Rebbe left 770 to escort his mother, the Rebbe Tzachana, who also participated in the zdalim upstairs as well as the Sudas Yomtev through the year in the apartment of the previous Rebbe. And when the Rebbe returned, the Rebbe motioned they should sing and dance more intense. And the Rebbe himself went into the dance and danced for quite a while with great joy. Standing in Ganditna Tachna in the hallway before his room, the Rebbe said a sicha regarding the topic of that evening, which is Leil Pesach that falls out Metzorish Shabbos. This is the second night Pesach on Metzorish Shabbos. The Rebbe discussed the

02:10 Karbon Pesach and the Karbon Chadiga. After the sicha, the Rebbe returned to his room and the Elam continued dancing. After a while, the Elam was in for a surprise. The Rebbe walked out of his room with a Hagoda, the Hagoda that the Rebbe himself compiled and published in Tov Shimvov 1946. And the Rebbe made this introduction. That the Friedrich Rebbe said that the Rebbe Rashab would customarily begin the Seder the second night, 9 p.m., and would continue and conclude the Seder many hours after midnight. And the Rebbe derives from that that since this was the Anhoge and the Losher Rabbe, how the Friedrich Rebbe said it, and Chai Vodem Reimer v'Losher Rabbe, a person needs to say and phrase, say in the same phrase as his Rebbe said. So therefore, this is Anhoge that is basically something that applies to all. And since the Rabbeim had this custom, the previous Rebbe and before him the Rebbe Rashab, so it's understood that also the earlier Rabbeim had this very custom. After this introduction, the Rebbe began explaining different paragraphs in the Hagoda. And at the conclusion of the Fabrengen, the Rebbe announced Leshona Babbe Yerushalayim. The next year, Tov Shingud Beis 1952, the Rebbe became then at Anud Aleph Nissan 50 years. And Hasidim figured that this could also be the reason that the Rebbe that year Fabreng both nights of Pesach after the Seder. The Rebbe explained many in Yonim the Hagoda, and then the Rebbe concluded with Leshona Babbe Yerushalayim. So there was a

04:21 Fabrengen the first night of Pesach after the Seder and also the second night after the Seder. Tov Shingud Gimel 1953, Hasidim figured that since last year the Rebbe Fabreng both nights of Pesach, they were hoping that the Rebbe will also this year, Tov Shingud Gimel 1953, also Fabreng the first night Pesach in addition to the second night. The Rebbe gave over to Rabbe El Yunik, who was a Meshores Ba'kedesh by the Rebbe, that this night, the first night, is Gili Mashiach, and therefore there's a need to dance there. And the Meile was understood that the Rebbe won't Fabreng them. The second night, the Rebbe Fabrenged for three hours. In those years, it seemed like it was earlier than 1.30 a.m. It began at 12 o'clock, and it concluded at 3 a.m. During the Fabrengen, there were some that were falling asleep, and the Rebbe made the following comment, that since the Friedrich Rebbe sat and was Mevair in Yonim Ha'goda, so the Rebbe says, but Meile I'm also Mukrach to sit and Fabreng. So nobody should complain to me that I am keeping people away from sleep. And if it is so, by Erev Yom Kippur, since we asked for forgiveness, we apologize for anything we did, Shegeig, Mezid, Einus, V'Ratzon, so that that'll be the time to ask forgiveness. And the Rebbe concluded that Hasidim with their Achtos will bring Mashiach. In Toshim Yud Gimel, at that same Fabrengen, at the close, the conclusion of the Fabrengen, after the Fabrengen, the Rebbe said that

06:20 those that need a Bracha for healing for the Fuach should go in to him to receive Matzah. And the Rebbe gave Matzah, pieces of Matzah to those that needed a Refuah. In Toshim Tez Vov, 1955, during the Fabrengen, the second night Pesach, the Rebbe asked if anybody knows the Nigun V'Yisha Amda. Many of Anash tried with Nigunim that they were familiar with on V'Yisha Amda, figuring that this is what the Rebbe asked about. But the Rebbe said this is not what he intended. And in the conclusion, the Rebbe taught the Nigun himself. This is the Nigun V'Yisha Amda that was taught by the Rebbe. So Bemela, that evening, the Rebbe taught the Nigun V'Yisha Amda, which is the second Nigun of the Ten Nigunim that the Rebbe taught. The first Nigun was the Tzama L'cha, which was Parasha Kedayshim, Toshim Gedalat, 1954. But in Toshim Tez Vov, this was the only Nigun that the Rebbe taught during the Fabrengen after the Seder.
