Chassidim rock.
00:00:03.024 --> 00:00:07.552
It just seems like they're always b'simcha Chassidim.
00:00:07.552 --> 00:00:12.928
You know Litvox cannot recreate their kugel, their chalun.
00:00:12.928 --> 00:00:20.707
There's just something about chassidim It's with simcha, it's with ahava and it's pretty cool.
00:00:20.707 --> 00:00:41.601
And even Rabbi Ruch Mlovavut once praised the chassidim for the way that they dress, with a very regal approach, always in a frack, in an up hat, almost in like an old school style and something that is much desired, b'siman hazeh.
00:00:41.601 --> 00:00:47.521
But the praise doesn't stop there And to build it up here we go listen to this paschak.
00:00:48.203 --> 00:01:04.250
This is at the time in Parshis, baha Loshcha, where Maishir Abaynu has just brought the complaints from the Jewish people up to the Almighty, as the Jews were petitioning that we want meat and this monotonous diet of man will not suffice.
00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:09.004
But Moshe threw in an extra petition.
00:01:09.004 --> 00:01:13.893
He said I could use some help down here, perhaps some other prophets.
00:01:13.893 --> 00:01:23.587
So Hashem responded ve otsaltim in haruach, i will increase from your spirit your divine spirit.
00:01:23.587 --> 00:01:24.989
I shall allow you, i will put it on.
00:01:24.989 --> 00:01:33.554
Eventually, the 70 elders Shibem Zekaynem would be crowned as other leaders, along with Moshe.
00:01:33.634 --> 00:01:38.569
Rabbeinu Eda, a little bit lesser of a level of prophecy, but Fracture of Vobah.
00:01:38.569 --> 00:01:41.177
Why didn't Hashem just create prophets?
00:01:41.177 --> 00:01:52.293
Why did Hashem have to say I'm going to take from you b'saltim in haruach from your first prophecy and then connect it to build other 70, why Just make new prophets?
00:01:52.293 --> 00:02:07.004
It says Rashi, and Revolba explains Maishir Abaynu was like a candle and his prophecy was like the fire that it can continue to light many other candles and it never loses even the littlest bit of its own fire.
00:02:07.004 --> 00:02:20.430
T'ayra Kedusha Ruach Hashem, it is a tradition, it's a Masayra and it must be passed through Rebbe to Talmud.
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:30.063
Revolba explains like a candle lighting other candles, you must be in line to receive fire from the candle to be a part of the Jewish tradition.
00:02:30.887 --> 00:02:52.650
And Chassidim, oh Chassidim, they will not budge without the advice, without the words of their saintly Rebbe, and even Rebbe Salsalantar did at times talk about the idea of having this real commitment to a teacher, in a way of a Rebbe Maishir Abaynu arayane'em on, our trusted shepherd, our Rebbe.
00:02:53.671 --> 00:03:18.745
It's remarkable, and I just came across a Gemara in Barachos this morning, on page Mem Zayin, that talks about who is an Amh-a-Auraz, who is an ignoramus, who is an unlearned person, someone who doesn't do she must amidechah ha'amim, somebody who doesn't look at how rabbis and holy people, their teacher, acts When they're in the bathroom, when they're walking down the street, how do they act, how do they carry themselves?
00:03:18.745 --> 00:03:34.169
We see an unbelievable hiddish, a tremendously new, novel insight that if you're inside this genealogy, this heritage of the Jewish people, if you're in line with the tradition and the Masora, then your candle gets lit.
00:03:34.169 --> 00:03:42.725
But even if you take all of the Torah with you into a private midbar by yourself, you will never turn into that bright, shining candle.
00:03:42.725 --> 00:03:50.103
It is only from Rebbe to Talmud, from teacher to student, that the Torah is transmitted.
00:03:50.103 --> 00:03:54.187
So get yourself a Rebbe and hang on tight.
00:00:01.762 --> 00:00:03.024
00:00:03.024 --> 00:00:07.552
00:00:07.552 --> 00:00:12.928
00:00:12.928 --> 00:00:20.707
00:00:20.707 --> 00:00:41.601
00:00:41.601 --> 00:00:47.521
00:00:48.203 --> 00:01:04.250
00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:09.004
00:01:09.004 --> 00:01:13.893
00:01:13.893 --> 00:01:23.587
00:01:23.587 --> 00:01:24.989
00:01:24.989 --> 00:01:33.554
00:01:33.634 --> 00:01:38.569
00:01:38.569 --> 00:01:41.177
00:01:41.177 --> 00:01:52.293
00:01:52.293 --> 00:02:07.004
00:02:07.004 --> 00:02:20.430
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:30.063
00:02:30.887 --> 00:02:52.650
00:02:53.671 --> 00:03:18.745
00:03:18.745 --> 00:03:34.169
00:03:34.169 --> 00:03:42.725
00:03:42.725 --> 00:03:50.103
00:03:50.103 --> 00:03:54.187
