Shabbos Chazon 5735 (1975): 50 Years !

00:01 Another Shabbos Chazain that comes to memory is Tav Shin Lamed Hey, 1975. This was after the background of the three weeks that preceded it, beginning from Shivas of Betamus, and actually from the night before Shivas of Betamus, when the Rebbe Fabringen, a surprise Fabringen, Tza'ayin Tamus, the night already of going into Shivas of Betamus. The Rebbe began the Fabringen, a very unusual expression, that it's Tza'ayin Tamus, Erev Shivas of Betamus, and Mashiach did not come yet. And the Rebbe then proceeded with a herois benagir to the three weeks. Also, that year in the nine days, the Rebbe spoke about the inyan of making Siyumim in the nine days, concluding a mesechta for Simcha Shalitzve. And there was also the maimer, which actually was a long maimer, a maimer benagir to Golus. And the Rebbe edited the maimer, which in those years, in the first 25 years of the Rebbe's nasiyos, we did not have in quantity so many maimerlim that the Rebbe edited. So this was a big chidush every time there was a maimer that the Rebbe asked that they should send in, that he should review and edit. And what he did benagir to the maimer, either footnotes or other inyanim or the knim of the maimer, the inside of the maimer. So this was a chidush, and chidim knew that this was basically a inyan, a nuham shochah, a new inyan that the Rebbe is accomplishing in the world, as it was known by chidim, that a maimer was basically a new

01:53 inyan and accomplishment in the world. So b'meile when it came to this maimer, the Rebbe edited it. And not only that, but even Rish Heidish Menachem Av. And Shabbos Chazain, there were additional two maimerim, as you mentioned earlier, Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda, and they were also edited as well. And b'meile there were three maimerim edited in a few weeks. So that really was very unusual and exceptional for chidim observing all this taking place. And then came Shabbos Chazain. Shabbos Chazain was the Shabbos before Tish B'Av. And the Rebbe began the fabringen speaking about nigunim, that the chidas and the sichas it's mentioned a difference between nigunim with words and nigunim without words. A nigun that is without words, only a tune, basically expresses a level that is higher than limitation, higher than being drawn down in vessels, in a certain structure. On the other hand, when it comes to a nigun that has words, that contains words, so basically it shows on a certain limitation. A limitation that the nigun expresses the contents of the words, focuses on the light and the expression of the words. B'meile it's a certain limitation, certain structure, a certain framework. So the Rebbe says, but what is the tachlis? The ultimate purpose, the ultimate goal is that everything that is higher than limitation should come down, be drawn down within limitation. So the Rebbe says, therefore, since it's Shabbos Chazain and Davtei Re'i concludes with Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda VeShaveh Betzdaka. So therefore the Rebbe says, there is a nigun of

03:50 Davei Sach Chidas, the fathers of Chidas, which basically is the Baal Shem Tov and so on. And the nigun the Rebbe says is without words, so they should sing the nigun with words. In other words, the nigun originally, the Gimel Provis is without words, so they should connect it with the words. They should sing the tune to the words of Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda VeShaveh Betzdaka. So B'meile this will come down then from a higher level into a level, into vessels, which are basically the words that express the inyan of Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda VeShaveh Betzdaka. And they should sing it in these weeks. And the Rebbe says, Al Kol Panim in these days. After they sang the nigun, which basically the nigun was on the spot, was put together by Rabbi Elkan, Menaganim and Menaganim. And basically they sang the nigun, the tune was Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda VeShaveh Betzdaka. As far as I remember, maybe somebody else remembers it more with a knecht. And this was sung by the Rebbe. This was Mamish, a Himodike inyan. After they sang the nigun, the Rebbe says that Bechalal, inyanim and avedus Hashem have to be with joy. And especially we want that these days should be converted to days of joy and simcha. So therefore there's also the nigun of Simchas Teida, which is a nigun without words, referring to his father's nigun. And so they should also sing this nigun of Simchas Teida with the words of Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda VeShaveh Betzdaka. And then since simcha breaks

05:36 through the barriers, so B'meile these days will become converted to days of joy. And that's when they sang the nigun with the words Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda. And basically it went like this. Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda VeShaveh Betzdaka. It was however way the knecht was, but basically this was the second nigun that they sang. It's Al Simcha. Then the Rebbe continued speaking about the inyan from Simcha, connected it with Al Israel, whose hilula is Hey Av, a few days earlier in the year Shin Lamed Beis, which was the year of his istalkas. So this was basically an experience which was a Himodike experience that the Rebbe asked that two nigunim should be sung with Tzim BeMishpat Tipoda. One is a nigun, an Evanston nigun, a nigun from the Aveis Achsidis. And the second one is a nigun of his father, Simchas Teida nigun.
