everyone is transforming the tragedy of tish above into nachman comfort comfort me god almighty says comfort me twice we lost the first temple we lost the second temple the first base i make to the second base on mikdash and now on our on our way to rebuilding the third base i make this room hey to be amanda very speedily and with this in mind i share with you a little bit about the holy belzer rebbe and his connection with khabad the story is told that whenever the fourth laboratory was on on a on a trip for his father the holy seduc he stopped in bells and he was there over a shabbos and he participated in the the tish the holy table with the the assassin them shalom of bells absolutely sat with his khasi them saying the gurney man gave leftover food from the the rubbish plate which is a minute custom by the hasidic rabbis and somehow everyone came to give him shalom and rabbi marash was dressed as a regular hussit without any fanfare and no one really knew who he was and when he went by the halogen the holy shalom shalom normally would have a glove on his hand he wouldn't touch people's hands without a glove and and it wasn't because of corona and covet it was a minute of his and he took off his glove and he said i feel there's someone holy here and he gave him his hand his bare hand he asked him who are you and he would not divulge later he called over someone someone over to him who heard this dialogue and he said i'll tell you who this is this is the son of the son the youngest son the rebel at the time this happened during the lifetime with samar sadiq because the social and passed away in 1855 and it's a mathematica passed away in 1866. i believe this happened sometime between 1850 and 1855 because he was blind at the time and that was the latter part of his life anyway so the baby shabbat and bells go back over pretty much 170 years ago or so many years ago on one hand they're two you know very opposite type of uh citizen for example chabad emphasizes david in slope his bonding is meditation avoid avoidance at length and bells they have a special emphasis on davening and praying very quickly it's probably the quickest davening amongst the hasidic group is in bells and there are other issues you know they take they give the rabbit by them give sharayan by us not etc etc and of course they're by them learning of hasidis means tour base yosef and abaya rava which is the talmud that's the best hasidis and we we need to we learn hasidis the way we learn uh tour and base yosef we with the same depth but we actually learn a text from the rabbem but we learn we study this we delve into this let's go further a little bit now to the generation of the holy belzer ebba who survived the war miraculously and came there to throw in 1944 and he passed away in 1957. in 1941 a rabbi ashkenazi who was involved with bells contacted the frida kareba he wrote to him and he said that that the the belzer ebba is in premiershin he ran away to premiership because of the nazis arrival in bells and he went further deeper in to territory where they're further away from the nazis and he wants to we want him to survive we need all the help we can get so the frida kadaba wrote four or five letters to the modern ceremony both of which were in america at the time along with the frida keraba a relative of his who was the the the ashkenaz of heaven and he really pushed them and encouraged them to save the the the bottom of bells i note i just read today that in 1940 already ended 1940 we don't know who but someone there was a a telegram that was written to someone to try to say to try saving the belzer eber and fall of babaji's uh here's the shrug of five is almanov almanov and um the brother-in-law was who was the the married to her horowitz was jason uh horowitz anyway full of barbecues and it's interesting who who else is there that besides the bavarians which is natural for the fleet of gravity to you know to to for someone to similar barbecue wrote it we don't know if the friday wrote this telegram but some barbecue did who was connected and he asked to save these four people and their families and the first of the and before the four the first one is the bells at earth now that's interesting because there were other rabbits in poland many of which the predicate knew the parts of it and then they get it you could you could you can go down a list we don't find that he you know he wrote about saving the the rest which i'm sure of course that was his wishes but he made an extra effort yes and he and it's true that he calls the belzer basher saudi my relative because they shared um they were third cousins because the frida kahneman's great grandfather was the chicasa of the academy soldier so they were related but to to emphasize it and to publicize it and to pursue it like he did it tells you a lot about the relationship about the closeness between the two then what happened is that uh the word got back to the cadet that they're not sure he wants to leave because he feels safe over there premise lon and he has 60 family members and they didn't have you know he didn't expect to get 60 visas so he he said that he'll stay for now i was also told in the grapevine that uh the the belzer but didn't believe at the time that nazis will will kill six million jews and send them to the concentration camps and even a 44 when he he was escaped to budapest and so he said he said that it was printed in the budapest papers later they when they reprinted it in erit israel they omitted it because the nazis did come and they did kill six million eden and they didn't had the concentration camp so it didn't look good they took it out but it seems that the you know the abrasive took away from the sadique in the belzedab and other this vision because they were truly holy people and they had a little hakai dish and but so why didn't they see there's going to be a war only debris that knows we have the rashi with otherwise they'll be missing in the creed and the free choice for whatever reason they took away the vision from the holy sadhikim to see what the maksha mum would do to us but out on him he miraculously escaped from budapest him and his brother they were ransomed there was big money paid to the german government and they they got out but derek one of the uh bells of ravi friedman documented and put together a a few volume set of books and he includes in there all the different things that frida kahpert did to help the belzer and in 1949 i believe when the mayor gerardi there are the river if you grab his older son-in-law israel came to israel he uh he went to see the belzeraba and he spoke them about the establishment of the state of israel what he thought about it and uh the cloud in general there was a big kid was a big closeness my understanding is that rabbi freedom writes in this book that rabbi gurari that with the frida kraba helped quietly you know uh raise money for the hot seller for part pro part of this the the seller the the saving the salvation of the guerra of the belzed from from budapest it wasn't known really at the time but he was involved behind the scenes i'm not saying he was the only one there were others as well but the rashad you know under the auspices of the friday but continued uh doing whatever was possible although as i say uh after those letters in 1941 we don't find um more correspondence from the frida kadabra about the belzed and i think the reason is because there he got word that the belzona doesn't want to leave right now so there was like it seems like there was like internal uh you know not conflict but there was a kind of confusion and they didn't know and and he said not right now so the fleet of crabber wishes him in the last letter that he writes that that we have about this issue he writes mashem help and gives him brochures that he that he come to a place of safety et cetera and this is the idea of when we're looking for comfort we need double comfort it's not just enough to have our own comfort we need to have comfort for other eden so this is a shabbos and this is the time when we should start focusing on on emphasizing the double yeshua the nachman by reaching out and touching another yid thinking about another yid and through this will be zaika to the ghoul islama will have true redemption with mashiach we will see all that sadiq rise and lead us towards mashiach to keno in a happy way and it's too bad of this week in a shidduch way where everyone who needs a shooter for their children will find a good proper with less heartache and only simchas and they will help that we will stand together the way we all danced together before this mageifa came upon us and it is coming to an end baruch hashem and positive thinking good and not just good too good too good with zine vessel there is good thing good and will be good and then there is too good do good not only think or do good unless that's i'm better than would be even better like higher
