Pesach 5714 (Part II)

00:00 The hemsech to the early installment of the first night Pesach tov shin yud dalet 1954. We continue now to discuss the events that took place after the sicha that evening. First, we need to mention that the Rebbe mentioned that evening also that Pesach tov shin yud dalet should already mark the beginning of the geulah, it should already be the aschal to the geulah, which should lead into the ultimate redemption. The Rebbe then instructed that Rabbi Mendlik, who was the Rosh Yeshiva, bachurim in 770, he was also the Rebbe's Tzar Maschim, that he should go dancing with the talmidim who are learning by him, and also those that learned in the past by him. There were some that were just standing there, they didn't go into the dance, they didn't participate in the dance because they didn't want to leave and walk away from the Rebbe. And the Rebbe asked many of them if they learned by Rabbi Mendlik. And then the Rebbe himself went into the dance, participated in the dance, and danced with a very great joy, a great simcha, intense simcha. The Rebbe then spoke a sicha while in the circle of the people, and then the Rebbe returned to his room. The sicha that the Rebbe then spoke was a short sicha b'negia to the inyan of tal. The Rebbe said that tomorrow, the first day Pesach, we begin saying tal, m'bench tal. Our sages tell us in the Talmud that tal lei metzar. Tal does not stop, it does not depend

02:13 on the aveda, the service of a yid in this physical world. And this is the difference between motar and tal, rain and dew. Motar, rain, is connected with an initiative from below. As it's mentioned, the Rebbe didn't mention it here, but just to point out that in Parsha Breshis it says that the Eibishter did not bring rain, ki lehimter Hashem Elokim al Adam, until Adam was created. Because there is a need of an initiative on the part of the creation. And therefore, it is also according to the limitations of the initiative from below. On the other hand, tal is something that is higher than limitations, and it is not dependent on the aveda initiative from below. Ubehesom lekach, in accordance with this, the Rebbe said, surely all the hamsochas, all the inyonim that need to be drawn down in everything that is needed will be drawn down without limitations. And before leaving, the Rebbe said that this is a night, a lil shimurim, a night of watchfulness, a night of A short time later, the Rebbe walked out wearing his coat, getting ready to go home. And first he went in to the ulam, to the hall, to the zal upstairs. He went to see what's going on there. This is where the dancing is taking place. And he also checked all the rooms. And then he stood by the entrance of the first room, the bigger room, and he instructed that everyone should go in there to dance. There were many whom the Rebbe

04:18 took by the hand and pushed them into the zal. As understood, the Rebbe did not need to push too much because they went in on their own. When the Rebbe left, going home, they sang the nigun kivisimcha, and the eylum followed the Rebbe to escort the Rebbe. The Rebbe motioned with their hand that they shouldn't follow him, but they still nevertheless continued going, and they went up to a certain distance. The Rebbe then turned around and motioned with their hand that they should go back, and they returned back to 770. In conclusion, we'll mention a vort that the Rebbe told Rabbe El Yunik on the first night Pesach after the first Seder, Tov Shin Yud Gimel 1953, a year earlier than what we mentioned in this installment. Rabbe El Yunik entered the Rebbe's room after the Seder, and the Rebbe told him as follows. Well, first we read it in Yiddish, and then we'll translate it in English. The Rebbe told Rabbe El Yunik the following. Today is Gili Eliyahu, referring to Eliyahu Navi. One needs to grab the occasion to dance and to dance lebedik, lively. After the Rebbe concluded these words, the Rebbe began singing the nigun Keili Ata, which is attributed to Gili Eliyahu HaNavi.
