The 13th of Tishrei- Hilulo of The Rebbe Maharash

00:01 We find ourselves in Yud Gimmel Tishrei, which is the of the Rebbe Maharash. Rebbe Maharash was on Yud Gimmel Tishrei, Taf Resh Mem Gimmel, which is late 1882. We'll discuss from various and from the Rebbe where the Rebbe discusses the and the events that were before the . In , 1962, the Rebbe quotes from the previous Rebbe, who said to his grandfather, the Rebbe Maharash, that is, in his last years, he was a . He suffered greatly. And not even once did it happen that when a entered the room to see the Rebbe Maharash, and he wouldn't see the Rebbe Maharash with a smile. The Rebbe Maharash always smiled, although he suffered immensely. And it wasn't an artificial smile, the Rebbe says, but a genuine smile. The Rebbe continues also that this is what we find to the previous Rebbe, likewise. In , which is late 1951, the Rebbe then spoke a which consisted of stories to the Rebbe Maharash. So the Rebbe said as follows, that before the Rebbe Maharash said they will need to call a professor, a doctor, to give an injection and to do surgery. And so it happened. At that time, when the Rebbe Maharash said these words, people around him did not understand what he was referring to. But after that, during the , the words were understood. The Rebbe mentions that this story he heard from the grandmother, the Rebbetzin Sterna Sara, who was the mother of the previous Rebbe. And although forty years have passed since the

02:41 , nevertheless, the Rebbetzin, whenever she would recall this mentioned earlier, it would be obvious the fear in her words. In a that the Rebbe wrote in , 1933, where the Rebbe transcribed that he heard from the previous Rebbe, the Rebbe mentions as follows, that when the Rebbe Maharash was nineteen, twenty years old, he was sick. He already had white in the blood, which is basically, uh, leukemia. This was a result of a certain illness that he was sick with at the time, and he was cured through the Rebbe Habertal, who was also in the time of the Rebbe. The Tzemach Tzedek was very involved that the Rebbe Maharash should be cured, and he then expressed himself that he would have wanted that the Rebbe Maharash should live at least as Shmuel HaNavi, fifty-two years. And actually, this illness was also the cause of the of the Rebbe Maharash in Taf Resh Mem Gimmel. But then it was from . Three weeks before Rosh Hashanah, the Rebbe Maharash got sick very intensely. Although almost the whole year he was sick, but that is when it really caught up and became a very strong, intense illness. The Rebbe mentions in a mentioned earlier, Yud Gimmel Tishrei Taf Shin Yud Beis, that when the Rebbe Maharash visited the professor, the doctor, the last time before the , the doctor told him, "You can leave. You can travel back to your house in Lubavitch." So the Rebbe Maharash answered, from there is also a way of traveling. He was

05:18 obviously referring to the . In a that the Rebbe wrote in 1935, where the Rebbe cites what he heard from the previous Rebbe. The Rebbe then mentions the following, that the last Erev Rosh Hashanah of of the Rebbe Maharash in this world, the Rebbe Maharash entered the room of his Rebbetzin, the Rebbetzin Rivka, as was customary by all the Rabbeim from the Alter Rebbe, that Erev Rosh Hashanah after Mincha, before going to Shul, they would en-enter the room of the Rebbetzin, their Rebbetzin, to bench them and to request a bracha. Rebbe Marash said then in the conclusion of his words after they were discussing the pogroms that were taking place then in Russia, that my father said the decree is already broken. Pogroms in gashmiyus will not be, but beruchniyus, and the Rebbe writes that he doesn't remember exactly the wording how the Fridyker Rebbe expressed himself. And Rebbe Marash concluded, "Zost hiten de kinder, you should watch on the kids." When the Rebbetsin heard these words, that he is marames deistalkos, she began crying, saying that surely he will be cured. The Rebbe Marash will be cured and we'll all be together. So the Rebbe Marash then said, "The kevet of the gezeira, the heavenness of the gezeira, the harshness of the gezeira I took on myself." And he continued benegea to the words of his Rebbetsin to be together. He said, "Yes, we'll be together, but from different worlds. I will elevate 31 steps in ruchniyus and you will elevate 31 steps in

07:25 gashmiyus." Adding that to you, my father promised a long life, arichas yomen. The Rebbetsin lived another 31 years after deistalkos of the Rebbe Marash. Referring back to the sicha of Yud Gimel Tishrei Taf Shin Yud Beis, the Rebbe mentions the following which took place moments before deistalkos. At the time of deistalkos, the Rebbe Marash sat on his chair. In the days before deistalkos, he would sit on the chair the whole time, also when he retired for the evening. Minutes before deistalkos, the Rebbe Marash took his watch, or he asked they should bring him a watch, and he set the watch to a certain time. And he then took a piece of paper, inserted it through a feather into the watch in order that the watch should remain at that time. And exactly in that designated moment to which he set the watch, he was nistalik. We should already see the fulfillment of together with all the Rebbeim.
