Reb Yoel Kahans History - Secrets from an Insider

so i ask for 15 minutes of quiet if it's possible i also ask those people that are learning now to come over in honor of yourself 15 minutes it's time for you all all of us see this and what you're learning whether you knew him or you didn't so stop your learning and come to the table and listen okay you're not holier than him i promise you it's not not for my honor it's for his honor and i'm very serious there is many things that can be said about this person but i would like to just give a little history to understand the person you need to know the person from their youth otherwise you really don't know the person and even then you know how much time did you spend with the person etc etc hashem i was okay to spend six years learning with him from 1978 till 1984 and i spent many shot buses at his table while i was a student at bucker and even afterwards as a a married man while i was ashleigh so and we had serious conversations not only about hasidis and hasidis kite but about what you would call the current events of the day within and without lubavitch now many of these things cannot be shared for the public so you won't hear them from me but but but you'll have to read that in the book that i'm coming out with him it's a chef that's the way we get you to buy the book anyway anyway the book is not ready yet when it'll come out you'll know about it anyway anyway was born february 14th friday february 14th 1930 in moscow his father known as folly khan another way of saying rafael lived moved from russia with his father abort shalom khan to poland for porsche it was very difficult in rusland and russia and it was a little better in warsaw and they moved in that to that area and later on for whatever reason they moved back to russia and moscow several months after he was born his father was sent to siberia for three years for activities of disseminating yiddishkai taito mitzvahs throughout the region grew up for the first three years of his life without a father that's a fact in fact there's a jew in crown heights his name is replacement galpirin and abslaimer galpin is related to a famous chabad costume known as kalik or they would call him in lubavitch he came from a town zuravich and if yankovic was like a soul brother to pholikan to the fuller khan and galperin said to the oil that he knows about this relationship so the bureau said let me tell you what i was told and what i remember you understand he must have been two or three years old and he tells him like this one one pace of night we see the ankle in our house after my earth and he's conducting the seder for my mother and for us uh three or four sisters and and he was the youngest he was the youngest of all all the children and uh he's leading the sailor so later they they and he came home after 11 12 a night to his own house and he said and he said how can i make a say that for my own family if folio's children don't have a father there to make a sader for them so the hasidim the le baba chucci and the russian lubavitch exceed them the feeling of love and togetherness was it was very very strong anyway so this is in 1930 was born in 33 his father's release he comes back 1935 they get permission together with other laboratory families like the uh karasix and and the guraris and coachmen and different families to leave for energy snow they get they get permission to go to snow the three the caribbean then was in phukelsdarf pukulstuff is a village or a resort area outside of vienna actually it's it said in austria but anyway so the the fallen took the children and to the fleet of cadaba for abraham and the fleet gabba benched them then they went to the station what yes yes yes or he was a little boy was five years old then all of a sudden they're at the beginner train station heading towards artistro and who shows up hour ever and he says that his father-in-law that frida kadepa sent him to bring a gift for the children and to give them chocolate so rabbi rabioil's relationship with our rebels started in 1935 when he got the chocolate from the river and that's a family story that's been repeated i spoke to guter gansberg if your sister was married to the of gunsberg and she told me the story what i'm sharing with you and i heard it other times but she was older yes she was older so that's 1935 then they get territorial must have been about 10 years ago once in history it was a 770. and after that kuffus in the rep his room rabbi oil would always go into the haider the room of don hall of the administration for those that know 770 it's a small little room you can't imagine that everything came out of this room mentally everyone you know huddled in this room anyway when the raskins came next to the toilet small room anyway in that room many decisions took place i'll cope on him listen i asked for 15 minutes then you can talk it's okay i went into the room because i know and mayor harlock used to go in and there was like it as the years went on less and less people in the good years you know he would take musca and fabren a little bit but then you know things slow down because of his health and his age and he told me he told me the following he says the kansas you can't imagine the poverty the arm kite was a given by my titan on the siding in tel aviv in ramadan the poverty that existed by us when we came to eritrea he said with this and he and he almost cried he was like so i was like it was so pow deep and and painful i could feel the pain from him repeating something from 1937-38 okay 1938 the frida kaderbah writes to the see them and beresham to the laser curacao it was a big film with rokham he learned and the rebel writes you should start a yeshiva okay we're starting yeshiva they started the yeshiva at sixteen the cover of cook and the reason i know the address is because my daughter was a shloka there made a gun an international kindergarten in the same location that rabbi learned him when he was a little child and with a folly khan was a malama sixteen rahav rafcook and at that time it was called what in tel aviv two blocks from the ocean at that time the it was called the because it was because it was right next to the water but it changed anyway so that started in 1938 they started the yeshiva then they had a second building a second property where the as the bakram got older they made another yeshiva and that's where the shale broke you heard of haim shalom brook brook he was the rosh shiva the mashbiya and that's where he and other great minds and regular bakrim and everyone learned together one of the great minds was and recently when the oil went to uh to tell it to years ago he wouldn't go to any of these places only at last since gimbal thomas he told me once that he decided that whatever the the shliyak or the rav thank you that says that this is where you should go we need you here he went and he didn't didn't make an issue of it but years before it wasn't that way we're not going to go into that whole psychological issue and practical but that's that's a fact so he went to nebraska and he met without paparski rebecca now bethansky is the son of abdullah pvarsky and abdal pavasky was the rajashiva with raphael brooke ramshell was more of the mashpee and the manila and he was the rashid and he had a son and so he had a son so he said like this that his father came home one day and he said the following they used to call it a build his nickname was two names what do you think they were either yolker or yolic okay just for the record that was the nicknames between them and they were from russia the the the poverski was from russia and burma they were all rushing russian jews so he said the father said like this best service knows better understands better the gemara than absolute than slaymer bearman and he was a gorgeous name of bearman so this review and we're talking now about enigma in gemare farshin not talking about this we're talking about in high in in gemara i just heard tonight from arabia is a talmud booklet who lives in borough park he he learned with him for 44 years and actually he was the first the only one two people did kriya for the oil at the borough park at shamra das and one was this talmud mubik i saw it myself i was there and he did it because he he considered himself that if your if your main rebbe passes away you're obligated according to jewish law to tear kriya you know that and uh so then we have a rabbit so you know it's a different but he tore crease he told me what his name is she is ralph's gross he's a bell is a closet who's a a big tom mcfucker anyway so he told me that he once went energy to speak to 200 students but medical students lawyers bright students and he said that he was citing gemmarus and sam ciphers with the page number with the line number and and you know he hung out with him many times so but he never showed his knowledge of nigler but his primary years in yeshiva was learning nikla then as he got older probably from 1617 to 20 he put a big emphasis on citizens and here is another important point to know about his youth because because of his father who was his father i'll say something maybe shouldn't be on the record but okay there was a yid in montreal rabbi laurie knows who i'm talking about and he was a big big masculine see this from the goraris but i mean a rameshigarani's son but a real masculine and he was a best friend with rabbi correct for a while so a friend of mine is his son-in-law so he once said like this he says was mainstream yale is grace follows grace what do you think rabbi is great he's great but who's really great his father follow khan now that follow khan was not did not have the head of rabial khan in fact they say that took his head from his mother rifka his nifty was one of four daughters of the the the the davidson that was the family name what why am i telling you this having a father like fuller khan saturated saturated with hasidis kite not hasid this which he had too but khasit sky the lifestyle everything about him was siddishkait and this father was his father i'll give you another example and people a lot of the lubavitches never knew this or never paid attention or they even disagreed but i want to tell you from what i saw and what we saw maybe avraham remembers if he was an ocean parkway but rabbi used to give a shirt and see this to the older bakren they called him all the bakarim in ocean parkway my days in 75 76 seven with its fee green black medley nova scholar that group the growner twins that whole group and uh he would come into the room in a new york winter it's very cold and he wore a coat and then he wore by the way he didn't wear a long necklace during the week a long frock he wore a jacket and he wore a sweater he always had a sweater so before he sat down to give the tanya shir which by the way though she wouldn't were two hour tanya shield him i a friend of mine recorded them he still doesn't want to give him out i told him he has to give him out they're the best tanya shooter that that i ever heard from him because the bucharan were good minds it was an intimate group it was like 30 40 heaven and and it was real it was real you know it details anyway so he would stand up and he would take off his jacket now you take off your trap and take off your sweater and how did he take off his jacket the way it says in chocolate what it says first the the jacket the left then the left sweater and and not taking them off at the same time because it's casually right it's not good for your memories right and then he did the right and we ourselves we used to laugh like rebj is is like interested in these details and he was anyway you know it's the the seriousness to how loka he got from his father foley i want to give you another example okay i came back for huge fact the first huge anyone that he recognized he would give shaolin with a smile and all of a sudden he says to me new and i was never got a like a serious new and i'm looking at him and here the place is jammed friends are around we're waiting for that ever to come down it was huge fat night was very serious you know and all of a sudden he says no and i'm like i want to bury myself and then it just says no no and i take a look at my jacket i had my left button over my right and according to the arizon and and then kabulistic writings you should have the right over the left because right is hesita and left is guvura i saw that these little seemingly insignificant things were relevant to him like understanding of my mercedes and and and being with the rabbit so his yiddish was profound the fact that sometimes some people saw this so that you have to understand what you saw you have to understand what was going on and you have to know that there ever was involved with every detail of his life which is the next point i want to get to i have it's again i have an email i got of a text from someone in cleveland who is a talmud music of the rover of yahshua salavaitchik of robbie sullivan he himself was a professor at the touro and he was a talmud and he is a tom cohen his name is reichman so he sends me he sends me a text and he says i had three rebels first one was the rob i forget now the second one and the third one who i discovered later in my life was rebuild and he used to come to the shooter in borough park with a pen and paper shuckle away and he became mamish the proof is what's the proof a year two years ago he decided to him and his brother to donate us a potato for their mother so he called and have labeled all time the machine our shoe and he says i'd like to donate the seifer toyota to all the barbecue institution this is a why you man okay and i went over to him i was i'm a friend of mine you couldn't
