He — from Breslov. Aharon Zeitlin — he is from Breslov. (Saba laughs.) Yes. And one sees even now — they — they hold the Rambam in high regard. Yes. And they say that the Rambam compared to Rabbainu is nothing. There was none like — like — like Rabbainu {in the world}. There is none — none — none — none — no such holiness — no such wise man — and no one who speaks such words. (Saba laughs.) Like — like the holy Rabbainu. In his Torah teachings and in his stories they are nullified. Yes. This was not — before seventy years. Yes. And we see this. This is beyond nature. Because they should have distanced — distanced — Rabbainu from their hearts and from their seed and from… They should have imposed a cherem even upon Rabbainu's books. [In truth at the beginning there was a cherem.] Yes. (Saba laughs.) [At the beginning there was indeed — but little by little with time the cherem was forgotten — everything was forgotten — and the world arrived at such tohu vovohu — that without Rabbainu there is nothing.] Yes. (Saba laughs.) [Only the light of Rabbainu is already illuminating in the world — no other light illuminates.] And this — and this — we do not — do not know. We only have emunah. We know nothing. But we… What we see — that they are printing Rabbainu's books and one can read everywhere — in the synagogue and everywhere. And not — there is no prohibition to study Rabbainu's books. This — this is a sign of the redemption! This — this is already… Yes. And I saw with my own eyes now — from this generation. You do not know what was. I — I saw this what. (Saba laughs.) What it was — there was a prohibition to touch the books — Breslov books. How will the redemption come? And how… 'Gamarti v'agmor' — what is 'Gamarti v'agmor'? They don't want to touch Breslov books. (Saba laughs.) And Rebbe Yisroel (Kardonner) printed with mesiras nefesh — for whom? For whom? Breslov books? There are many books of chassidus — why is Breslov needed? There is — there is "Reishis Chochmah" and there is {"Mishnah Berurah"} and there is… ["Mesillas Yesharim."] And there is — and there is — and there is… What? One can — one can live without — without Breslov books! One can… (Saba laughs.) Nu. And I saw — I saw this. How will the redemption come? And how — how… What will be? The world does not want to touch Breslov books. (Saba laughs.) Nu. And now we see a thing beyond nature — a complete reversal. Today one can — one can understand that a time will come when the whole world — all — all the world will draw close — will draw close to Rabbainu — with such self-nullification — that they will cast everything aside — only Rabbainu! (Saba laughs.) Yes…

Whoever he is — whoever he says… The world can think about — about Chabad — about Chabad that it is… Yes. And this is complete falsehood — complete falsehood! Nu. So for this reason — for this reason — such darkness in the world! [Rabbainu already — when he met the Ba'al HaTanya — you told me that the Ba'al HaTanya said about him — after he — after Rabbainu met him] — yes. [So the Ba'al HaTanya said a verse from Tehillim] — yes! [That he explained to Rabbainu — that Rabbainu merited to hear his — his great words. The Ba'al HaTanya spoke for about two hours with Rabbainu — and Rabbainu listened.] Yes, yes. [And the Ba'al HaTanya said to him some verse from Tehillim.] Yes. [What was the verse that he said to him?]

Ah — yes. He should have asked Rabbainu to say some — some novelties — some Torah. And he — he said Torah for more than two hours — a long time. [Many hours.] He said the Torah before Rabbainu. [Yes — and at the end of his words he said to him some… did you merit?] At the end — at the end — at the end — at the end of his words — at the end he said… After saying Torah for several hours — at the end he finished: "Rachamecha…" He explained the verse. [In Tehillim?] In Tehillim. "Rachamecha harabim Hashem" — in "Ashray temimay darech" — there is {do not seek} — there is the letter Raish — "Rachamecha rabim Hashem" — "Rachamecha rabim Hashem." [Yes.] There is such a verse: "Rachamecha rabim Hashem." There is further on some… But "Rachamecha rabim Hashem" — "Rachamecha rabim Hashem." [In what — in what — in what Psalm is this?] In the letter Raish — Psalm 1… one-nineteen. [Ah — one-nineteen — in the letter Raish.] In the letter Raish. [Yes, yes.]

Yes. "Rachamecha rabim Hashem." "Rachami…" So he — he explained the "Rachamecha rabim Hashem" — "Rachamecha" — the compassion that is upon You — many — very many. "Rachamecha rabim…" [Upon Rabbainu.] Yes. [As if he — Heaven forfend.] For the sake of Rabbainu. [Yes.] Upon the Holy One Blessed Be He. [Yes — that the Holy One Blessed Be He has great compassion upon Rabbainu — that he heard all the…] Dovid HaMelech says: "Rachamecha" — the compassion that is upon You — upon the Holy One Blessed Be He — many — very many. "Rachamecha…" The simple interpretation is: "Rachamecha" — the compassion of the Holy One Blessed Be He is very great. And he explained: the compassion that is upon You — upon the Holy One Blessed Be He — very great. There is great compassion — he says Torah about the holy Rabbainu. This — this is great compassion upon the Holy One Blessed Be He — that there is — that there is such darkness in the world — that he says Torah before Rabbainu. [Rabbainu… "Rachamecha" — he explained there — at the conclusion of his Torah — yes.] He explained: "Rachamecha rabim Hashem" — "Rachamecha" — this is simple — "Rachamecha" — the compassion of Hashem — of the Holy One Blessed Be He — upon us — very great. He — he — he had compa… [Yes — the compassion of the Holy One Blessed Be He.] The Merciful One have mercy upon us. Yes. [Yes.] And he explained: "Rachamecha" — the compassion that is upon You. [The Ba'al HaTanya — the Ba'al HaTanya explained.] The Ba'al HaTanya. [Upon — upon Rabbainu.] Ah — ah? [He said this as if the Holy One Blessed Be He has compassion upon Rabbainu — that the Holy One Blessed Be He has great compassion upon Rabbainu — that he merited to hear all the Torah — he merited to hear so much Torah?] No. [It does not seem to me — he — he hinted…] [Wait — wait — wait.]

"Rachamecha" — there is great compassion upon the Holy One Blessed Be He — that there is such a thing in the world — that he says Torah before Rabbainu. [Ah.] The holy Rabbainu — he explained it. He did not — he did not know what he was explaining. "Rachamecha" — the compassion that is upon You — upon the Holy One Blessed Be He — very great. The holy Rabbainu — yes. He — he… There is significance in this — there is significance — that there is great compassion upon the Holy One Blessed Be He — that he says Torah before Rabbainu — because the compassion for You is great. (Saba laughs.) (not understood) Do you still not understand? [I understand.] (Saba laughs.) [But I don't understand how the Ba'al HaTanya was able to say this? What — what did he intend? After all he…] He — he explained like this. And he did not know what he… [What he said.] Yes, yes. And the holy Rabbainu concluded. Yes. [He understood.] Yes — what he said. [He said and did not know what he said.] He did not know. Yes, yes. (Saba laughs.) One sees from all the Torah that he said — so the holy Rabbainu said about this — it was — this — this — this good! [This is good.] (Saba laughs.) From all his Torah — "Rachamecha rabim Hashem" — there is great compassion upon You — the one who says Torah before Rabbainu. (Saba laughs.) He did not intend this — he — he — he — he did not know. He said and he did not know what he said. The holy Rabbainu explained what he said! (Saba laughs.) He said Torah before Rabbainu. (Saba laughs.) He is a gaon. Yes. He does not know what this is — who said — where — where… [But he revealed himself to Rabbainu completely — who he is — what he is — in that he spoke so much before Rabbainu.] There are many explanations of this. But the holy Rabbainu said about this: from all the Torah that he re… he said several hours. [Yes.] So this — this — this is good! [This is good.] Yes. "Rachamecha rabim Hashem." (Saba laughs.) There is great compassion upon You — the one who says Torah before Rabbainu. (Saba laughs.)

Nu. But we must announce that Chabad is falsehood! [That Chabad… we must announce that Chabad is falsehood.] [Ah — yes.] [We must know.] And if it is hard? Let it be hard for him! Who finds it hard? Nu… Like this. [Why?] {Mitzvos}. Against the holy Rabbainu — there is some chassidus that has truth in it. So against Rabbainu — everyone must receive from Rabbainu. Satmar and Chabad and… yes. Even {great Admor'im}. Yes. And if they oppose Rabbainu — then they are falsehood! The reverse — the reverse — the reverse. A tzaddik becomes a wicked one. The reverse of truth — this is falsehood! Yes…

…that he merited to see the light of Rabbainu — one in the world. Yes. (Saba laughs.) And also even the people of Rabbainu — the people of Rabbainu were — were such holy tzaddikim — that they {were not} close to Rabbainu. And the holy Rabbainu brought out — brought them out from all — {from shore to settled land}. And it was such a wonder. Nu. But Rebbe Nassan was — was…

Not for nothing was there such a concealment — such a concealment about Rabbainu and… Yes. But this — had it not been — had it not been for the Gra (of Vilna) who disputed — the Ba'al Shem Tov — the Ba'al Shem Tov — so there would not have been the dispute about — about Rabbainu. There would already have been a matter {of great light}. Rabbainu would already have been revealed in the world. Yes. And what would have been — would have been. And the world fell into such darkness as we see. And the holy Rabbainu announced this. Yes. But all — all — all is ready — ready for the redemption! Yes — that it should be revealed and exalted. (Saba laughs.) Precisely from such a dispute and such a concealment — the honor of Hashem will be more and more. [The longer the time extends — so the redemption becomes more and more beautiful.] Yes. Breslov — Breslov? (Saba laughs.) They will tell all — all that passed upon each and every one. Yes. (Saba laughs.) Many stories — there will be stories from each and every one! (Saba laughs.) There is no lawlessness…

Oy voy — oy voy. I received from Rav Shlomo (Wexler) — and I — I received. Yes. And I saw wonders… wonders in the words of Rav Shlomo — that he himself did not — did not — did not know. He — I…

[This is the compassion of the Holy One Blessed Be He — a remedy preceding the blow — He prepared the remedy before the blow — a decree of six million Jews — before the Second World War — this Petek.] Oy! [If they had accepted it.] Oy. [Perhaps it would not have been — perhaps it would not have been six million — if they had accepted it as you did.] But… [But this is the Holy One Blessed Be He — great compassion.] But this was a miracle that I received it back — that it exists alive — it exists in the world. (Saba laughs.) And then there was not even — even — even a photograph — there was none. No photograph at all — as if it did not exist in the world. Yes. Now even if — Heaven forfend — if — if — if the original — if it — if it does not survive — if it… [Heaven forfend.] So there are photographs. In any case there is a photograph as — as — as the original. The photograph is like the original. (Saba laughs.) But then there was no photograph — nothing. If not — if I had not received it back — it would not have been — as if it had never existed at all in the world. Yes. But now the world already knows that there is — that there is a letter — that there is such a thing. Yes. And there is a photograph and there is… They speak of it. (Saba laughs.)

Oy — fortunate are we — fortunate are we — {oy — fortunate are we truly}. I traveled to Yerushalayim — I was in Teveria. I — Rebbe Yisroel (Kardonner) passed away and I remained alone — one — one in the city — one. (Saba laughs.) And I… [One in the world.] One. And I laughed at everyone. I danced in my home — and always — always in my home it was like a wedding — joy — nigunim and dancing — even on weekdays. On Shabbos — this was… yes. And this was a power. And this was a wonder — a wondrous thing from Rabbainu. [A simple song — double — triple — quadruple.] Yes. (Saba laughs.) And also everything that I did was a sanctification of Hashem. I traveled to Yerushalayim — and the whole city of Teveria — this is not Yerushalayim — Teveria is a small city — everyone knows. Yisroel Ber — they had not heard — we had not heard the Zemirot of Shabbos. It seems he went to Yerushalayim. And when I came: "Ho — Yisroel Ber — he went to Yerushalayim — he brought new nigunim and he… (Saba laughs.)" And so on and so forth. I brought to Teveria — Baruch — the… this. Yes. [Yes — who had the illness of forgetting.] Yes. And there was — the whole city was: "Yisroel Ber brought to Teveria a guest — at — at his own expense…" Yes. (Saba laughs.) This is not Yerushalayim — this is a small city — everyone knew everything that passed. Yes. (Saba laughs.) And they were astonished — how can the wife — how can the wife have nothing — not a piece of bread — and he… And I went to Yerushalayim and instead of money I brought a guest. (Saba laughs.) [Another guest.] Yes. This is not a matter of ordinary behavior — this was a sanctification of Hashem. Yes. This was a sanctification of Hashem. Everything was a sanctification of Hashem. I danced — I rejoiced — there was… And I was in joy — sanctification of Hashem…

Put on tefillin. I — I put on tefillin. Not — not for le… Yes. But this — it was in any case holy — of itself. (not understood) Yes. I was on Purim. On Purim they — they — they — they were all together. They were all opponents — and they mocked me — in particular on Purim — a time — a time of laughter — a time. Yes. (Saba laughs.) I was there and wanted to drink. So — but it was already finished — the wine was finished. Yes — there was none — there was none. So I said to them: "There is no wine? Take money." I had — this was Purim — it was on a — on Thursday. And on Friday one needs to buy for Shabbos. Yes. And I had a half-lira in my pocket — in my pocket I had a half-lira. So for Shabbos — so I took out the half-lira and said… and gave them: "Bring wine!" (Saba laughs.) Yes. And there was laughter. But they did not…

And they did not buy — they did not buy wine. They knew I was poor — what? Yes. They did not buy wine. And in the morning they returned to me my half-lira. Do you remember? (Saba laughs.) [Ah — did they give you wine or not give you wine?] I had a paper — a half-lira note. [Yes — but did they give you to drink?] Ah. [Or did they not give you to drink?] They did not give me. [They did not give.] But I was already drunk. [So you were already drunk.] Yes. They think that he does not know what he is saying — what he is doing. Yes. (Saba laughs.) So in the morning — in the morning. [They returned the money.] They returned to me — take the half-lira — do you remember that you gave me a half-lira for wine? (Saba laughs.) Yes — yes. They were mocking. But as the holy Rabbainu says: "My matter is in disgrace — but in great honor." Yes — like this. They mocked. But this is great honor. They saw that I take a half-lira that I had set aside for Shabbos — and I give it for — for wine for Purim. (Saba laughs.) Yes. This — this was a wonder for them — who does such a thing? A poor man who has a half-lira — his entire pocket is a half-lira for Shabbos — and he gives it for wine. (Saba laughs.)

17

 

17

This is already many years — and I remember it as now — as now — how I took out from the pocket — from the pocket the half-lira and gave it to them wholeheartedly. Yes. "Go — bring wine!" (Saba laughs.)
