Rebbe & R' Shmuel Berenbaum of Mir

so Malaysian and welcome to Habad and friends episode number 11 on co l live.com today I'll talk a little bit about the rasa Shiva the past receiver of the Shiva the mirror yeshiva damir yeshiva in Brooklyn on Ocean Parkway prep small barren Bell and his connection to Habad to some Obama should tell me them who became Chabad and in future episodes we'll talk more about it but today I want to talk about an incident that happened in 1976 when with myths mezuzah in shroud of Tufts in lab adalat of 1974 they're ever called for the myths of mezuzah the mezuzah campaign that we should check out mezuzahs to make sure that they're kosher businesses and everyone should have mezuzahs and this is something that lobachev seed him in particular went around and did a tremendous amount in this in this vein of course there were those that question did opposed it and that happened during the two years from 74 to 76 answered many of the questions addressed them he would say telling they aim of action they're looking for for trouble they're looking to complain but nevertheless I'll answer them I'll give them this source and this minikin to to this story to understand why it's so important Reshma Baron Bell was a Talmud Amir in Aleta and then later in Shanghai he was among the the talmidim the students who were saved that were Shanghai that was in the mirrors chief and we all know also that there was a la Babaji shiva the talmidim the students from Oxford school so made their way to Shanghai but he was in the mirror she became into America and it was became the Russia Shiva in the mirror yeshiva a few Berenbaum I was told by some of his talmidim was a mass McNiff ler a tremendous individual who not just knew how to learn but he was diligent in learning he didn't stop learning in fact it's an interesting clip on YouTube seeing him and another another time of course I'm at a wedding and they're tearing each other apart in learning and it's it's not just very cute it's an insight into the literature learning mind and it's very telling and those that want to understand it should really take a look at that clip because it seems like they're fighting and going to each other at a wedding sitting at a facility at a table you know it's like ridiculous but it's not it's all right sir Morosco Lee which is the the idea the tailor within them is is burning in them is raging in them and there and there are we saying give us kakuzu kalegnon but with with with a rage so when you look at it from the outside looks very strange and funny but if you know the mindset of the literature mindset of learning it makes sense and you'll get an idea of this type of person but that wasn't his his specialty is specialty I'm told is his house mother and learning his non-stop learning around the clock this if Shmuel had a son hi hi I'm was learning in 1976 in the Bristol you Siobhan yerushalayim and Bain Osman in he and a friend of his that Martha shefter who's today the marsh Jia Ruth me in the yeshiva high in Berlin here in Brooklyn this is the receiver of Iron Chef ders son one of his sons his name is Roberta who I met they went for Bayless money to Netanya and they went and stayed at a hotel called Gally sons like the waves of sons which means it's at the water so there's waves so it's a resort hotel and it's run by Khloe's apricot seed episodes you know it's very kosher and they're very Froome and sneers and all that and they went out one night for a walk or something and when they came back everything was closed and there was a guard a Jewish guard he might have even been a front guard at that time the fund for the in the Palestinian terrorists would come with these little bungee ships little little like drafts of ships that were kind of made of rubber and they weren't noticeable and you were able to come right to the to the edge of the water without people noticing you and they were able to come in and they would do terrible things so this was a very tenuous time and we had this going on and that were already previous incidents and that's why these hotels that the water had special guards and and luck and the place was all Lots because they were afraid of these terrorists anyway this guard for some reason he didn't recognize the two buckram hi I'm Aunt Martha and he knows someone's knocking play tonight they came back late nothing he didn't open up and then I'm told that cry and went around the side so that made the guard more suspicious and he thought he's a terrorist and he actually shot him and he killed him it was a terrible tragedy there was a real mistake but that's what happened this happened on tests of of of tuba of tough schlomit vote 1976 they're bad the Fabri enough half of in the third or fourth see I believe the third circle the fourth anyway the rebels speaking about the importance of myths and of Zuza and he and he said there are those that still don't understand or still have complaints or still oppose it and the repple said Hashem is sending us various signs that it's so necessary to do this and especially in energy slow for the protection of the youth and energy so low and after mentioning two incidents they never said I wasn't going to speak about the following but it just happened and if something positive can come from it it's important to mention it and he said there was a student from a yeshiva that surely econo is the Kia Shiva a selet type of Shiva and if of course he was referring to the Brisky Shiva because the brisker are cannoli they're big zealots in in in what they believe and the rebus said that this buckler never was killed accidentally but that's what happened and their ever said it's important to use out this this incident in a positive way because after he was killed they checked his room and in his yeshiva in his room and they saw that there was a apostle a mezuzah on the door so the rebus said the lesson is that we should now increase our checking of mezuzahs they should be kosher and those that the ones that don't opposes we should put muzzles on and the Epis said his father is a Russia Shiva and as those that wish Eman he shouldn't be embarrassed and he should take this that happened and use it in a positive way to bring more light into the world and that ever did not imply at all how social and God forbid that his father's at fault and and and the blame game that wasn't part of it but he did use the words and souls of the Shemin during Shiva someone told me that he actually mentioned this to another son of rip small bambam the receiver was Hinds father was a small barren bomb who was the receiver of of mera Shiva so he lost his son that was his son so during shivers the Babbage had mentioned to to another son who is friendly with what their ever said and it also was mentioned to a rabbi Feldman and the Feldman was I believe a mark a much gear for the yeshiva it was a brother-in-law with Rabbi Lieberman the partner of Rebbe of Rome Aaron Loup Baskin and someone it was brought to his attention and he was very upset with these words he took it in a way that wasn't positive I don't know how but that ever summoned Rabbi Shmuel of a dried ship because I assume I assume because he knew reb shmuel Birnbaum from Shanghai although he wasn't Labov atresia but he wasn't a medieval but the buffer him you know knew each other and the rabbi asked them to go be Menachem of Oh AB mu berimbau and to tell him that he didn't mean at all to hurt his feelings and that if he was insulted because of the word the words that he used as those of the Shemin he should know he had he didn't have that in mind and he just meant to emphasize the importance of using out the negative the darkness the the terrible tragedy in a positive way how small took it I was told he heard he didn't he said thank you he didn't he didn't respond what we see from this one story and there are more stories with ritual and the Babbage is that their ever thought about him and was concerned about what happened at the same time being proactive and doing something is the way to correct a negative situation so that's why their ever said increase the observance of checking mezuzahs were ever possible and in Woodstock and memory of this fine Booker I am the son of a small bamm-bamm you should have a lifter King got Aiden and come back with the coming of Messiah
