Diary of the Month of Sivan 5741 (1981) - Part IV

00:00 The hemsach to the earlier installments relating to the events which took place in the month of Iyar, spring of the year Tov Shin Mem Alef, 1981, 40 years ago, as recorded in my personal diary, we now continue with installment number four, discussing the events of Shuas and the Shuas Fabringen and the following days. In a later sicha during the Shuas Fabringen, the Rebbe again spoke about the instability in the world at the time and the dangerous situation it finds itself in, and one does not need any research to discover this. Therefore, the Rebbe continued, in addition to Jewish unity, as mentioned earlier, the Rebbe explained the unique quality of a tader, which settles the instability in world, as mentioned by our sages, and it is written on behalf of children who are the guarantors of the tader. This is what implements stability in the world. At the conclusion of the Fabringen, the Rebbe instructed to sing the Nigun HaChana, the preparation nigun for the Alti Rebbe's nigun, and then the Alti Rebbe's nigun. After the Alti Rebbe's nigun, the Rebbe would usually motion to sing the Nigun Nejeritza. This time, in a very unusual manner, the Rebbe himself began singing the Nigun Nejeritza, and the Fabringen concluded at 1.30 a.m. After the Rebbe made havdalah on the wine on which he originally benched, he distributed keshel bracha, the wine of his kos to all assembled. This went on for hours. To one individual, a rav who just returned from a rabbinical conference in Europe, the

02:26 Rebbe said it should be hop kazak for the rabbonim there, implying dancing and joy. To many children who approached the Rebbe for keshel bracha, the Rebbe saluted with his hand to them as they were wearing the Tzivas Hashem, the army of Hashem's hat. After Yom Tov, it was customary by the Rebbe to have yechidas private audiences with primarily the guests who have arrived for Yom Tov. To one individual from Tzvas, the Rebbe apologized that he didn't give him a bottle of mashke during the keshel bracha for his Sefer Teder activities, referring to the Sefer Teder written for the children, and he was one of the people involved in these activities. It was customary by the Rebbe that some communal people as rabbonim, shluchim, etc., the Rebbe would give them in addition to pouring into their kos from his kos wine keshel bracha, also a bottle of mashke for their community or activities. The Rebbe continued, I considered giving you a half a bottle and for the rav of Kfar Chabad the second half, but this is considered as two people who together did one job, which halachically is not as valid as when one person does the complete job. In a practical sense, the Rebbe says, I gave it to one person and had you in mind during the giving to that person. The Rebbe also urged this person to publish a sefer, and although there is no time to review it, but as stated in the Talmud, a scholar does not publish something which

04:37 was not proofread and fully correct. The Rebbe asked him when he's leaving to go back home, and then the Rebbe continued and said, you will probably have enough time to proofread it. To another individual, the Rebbe said that the opposition of the United States against removing the Iraqi reactor, destroying it, was only to show face for the world, but the United States was also pleased with it. The Rebbe urged the person who represented a big organization to draw many students into yeshivas. The Rebbe continued and said, there are still many more young students out there who outnumber those who are already in yeshivas. When another individual entered the Rebbe's room, he apologized to the Rebbe for taking his time, for keeping the Rebbe longer in 770. The Rebbe responded that the people who came earlier came with problems which generates the opposite of joy. Now there is a need for calmness, implying that this person in yechidas at that time is the right person and is in the right time.
