The 12th & 13th of Tamuz: Part 10

00:00 The hemsech to the earlier installments been a gear to Yud Beis Yud Gimel Tammuz. We're now continuing with installment number 10, where we will discuss a factor of the Yud Beis Tammuz fabrengens, an additional aspect in the Yud Beis Tammuz maimorim, one which may have been unnoticed by many. Yud Beis Tammuz is also, of course, the yom hailedes of the previous Rebbe. It is known the custom relate from the Baal Shem Tov that one recites the kapitel tehillim that corresponds to the person's age. On a new birthday, one begins reciting the next kapitel tehillim corresponding to the year they have just entered. For example, a bar mitzvah bocher, when becoming 13 years old, recites kapitel 14, being that he began entering into his 14th year. We find by the Rebbe Rashab that he either said or wrote maimorim on the occasion of his yom hailedes. In addition, we find at times there is maimer focused on the new chapter in tehillim which he just entered. An example for this would be in the month of Chesvan, Shnas Ezra's late 1916, where there is a maimer that begins with the pasuk lamnatzeach al tashchis, which is a verse of the new chapter in tehillim, the age which the Rebbe Rashab has just entered that year, as the Rebbe writes it in Ha'Orah in a comment beneath gear to this maimer. Likewise, Chof Chesvan Tov Rishpei, late 1919, the Rebbe Rashab wrote several maimorim on kapitel samach, chapter 60 in tehillim. This was the year into which

02:17 he entered on this date. In fact, on Chof Chesvan in that very same year, he also delivered a maimer on the verse smuchim lo'ad le'eilam. The Rebbe explained in one of his maimorim that the word smuchim beginning with a samach symbolizes 60. The Rebbe would on Yud Beis Tammuz make note of the new kapitel of the previous Rebbe by explaining a verse in the new kapitel, the age, the year in which the previous Rebbe has entered on the Yud Beis Tammuz of that specific year. Likewise, as the Rebbe in his maimer of Yud Aleph Nisan would explain a verse in his new kapitel year which the Rebbe has entered on Yud Aleph Nisan. A little background. In the year Tov Shen Tes Vo of 1955, Yud Beis Tammuz was on Shabbos. The Rebbe did not deliver a maimer during this fabrengen, but spoke a sicha on the new kapitel of the previous Rebbe. Yud Gimel Tammuz fabrengen included also a maimer. In Tov Shen Yud Zay in 1957, we already find that the Rebbe would in the Yud Beis Tammuz maimer explain a verse of the previous Rebbe's new kapitel in tehillim. Over the years, at times we find that the Rebbe would sometimes begin his maimer with a pasuk of the new kapitel of the previous Rebbe. Not only to elaborate on the verse of the new kapitel tehillim in the maimer, but the maimer would begin and would focus completely on a pasuk of the new chapter of the previous Rebbe's age. This

04:32 took place in the years Tov Shen Chof Tes, Tov Shen Lamed Beis, Tov Shen Lamed Hey, and Tov Shen Lamed Tes, 1969, 1972, 1975, and 1979. The last maimer we were zecher from the Rebbe for Yud Beis Tammuz was Leil Yud Beis Tammuz, the evening of Yud Beis Tammuz, Tov Shen Mem Ches, 1988. The maimer was said immediately after ma'ariv.
