good head of shabbos to everyone it's shabbos tasha's sisa and it's also with pasha's portal and we're getting closer to pesach and we'll begin speaking a little bit about the relationship between chabad and the sfardin so in 1979 actually 1978 the chabad the rebbe was made aware of an opportunity to save thousands of jewish children from iran yeah the shah of iran was in deep trouble and there was going to be a revolution and it became known as the 1979 revolution and the rebels summoned rabbi yakov yehudah by j.j and they began working to rescue as many iranian children and teenagers as possible and to bring him to crown heights and the office of arranged for them to be in different homes and to learn about yiddish kite and to go into some of the yeshivas and it was a tremendous accomplishment for the seder 1979 there was a say that i believe with 1800 iranian children and teenagers it was probably the biggest seder that crow knights has ever seen the rebbe before he went home the first night of the seder of a youth crinsky huda krinsky one of the secretaries accompanied him together robbie groener a decline etc and he relates the following that the rebel would not visit you know the seder for the yeshiva the free for the russia russian seder and this year he also went to visit for the the iranians that have set up and in each place he said a few words and it was uh you know he delayed his own cedar and at that time 79 it was there was snow still on the ground and it was cold outside krinsky says that earlier that day that ebba asked rabbi if he could give him a little of the murderer for his own seder plate because he wants to feel along with these iranian children and teenagers what they went through the hardships the murderer this i just read this yesterday this is such an insight into our ever into the relationship with svardhan the iranian children and teenagers come from sephardic backgrounds the pain and hardships of a yid were not outside of our ebba's consciousness and behavior but rather part and parcel of what he was and what he did and how he celebrated his own savior and he couldn't sit at his own say there until he tasted the murder of the bitter herbs of the iranian children and teenagers so rabbi said we're coming closer to pesach yes for hashem we're coming to an end it looks like of this pandemic hashem but everyone knows last year this time was the highest and worst time of the pandemic so now it's a time to reflect ayam rail and the scoring venasana these days are remembered not for memory and history but for nasim for action the purpose of this garden of memory is nasim the purpose of all these history clips that i make is not just to become a relic in a museum or your bookshelf but to actually use in your life at your say they're with your family children grandchildren great grandchildren and family and friends talking about the svardim and chabad and lubavich one must know that this doesn't start just in 1979 it goes way back and i'll choose just the period from the rebel ashab and on although there was actually a schnaierson who traveled the world including north african countries i believe he was also raising funds for krill khabad so we do see a relationship even during the czech sedex times but it's highlighted during the rashov's time in 1893 tafresh noon gimble a hazard of the red rashad his name was rip schleimer who delayed ellie ezrav whose family name was originally kazarnowski and in between the name was ashkenazi depending on the situation where he was and at what time period there were name changes but he passed away and ended his life and did work in chevron and he was known as robbie elliot azadov and then he had children grandchildren of family continued so he was in the in the crimea and he met there the skier medini who authored this day hamid now we in lubavitch know that the rebbe made a big issue about this day and that's true but there's a history that begins before that ever based on the frida kahrabi's instructions in 1948 to publish this dehmed why why did the frida kahneman choose to stay here there was no other halachic encyclopedia to publish and the answer is in a way there wasn't not such a type where you have every mitzvah sukum pesach and all the mitzvahs in an encyclopedia way giving short brief insight explanation and and halakha and the frida karebe was not only concerned to publish siddhis for yiddington for jewelry in the 40s but in 48 post holocaust he felt this was a very valuable safer that had been out of print to reprint and instructed the rabbit to to begin preparing it for print and the funding came from a guide named rabb jasif rubinson davidson robertson is also the one who paid for the mortgage of 770 after it was bought in 1940 so that i think the the the mortgage was paid off in in 48 or so and rabbi rogerson was one or the person who paid for it anyway in those days uh the those days i mean in the after the stalkers defeated in 51 52 i think people will go along with their habit to to the oil and rabbi jacob said he saw jacobson went along once and he took rabbi rubinson with him and standing at the fried crab is uh a gravesite together with that ebba he turned to rabbi jacobs and turned to him and he said you know he had given already 25 000 in those days for the reprinting of this day hermit but there's like 18 volumes many volumes so it didn't cover all of them and they wanted to finish everything and pay for everything they didn't have the funds so rabbi jacobson said in front of the rebels standing in front of the campus gave her he said would you agree to to the rest to pay the rest and he said yes and that ever made a special fabregan um actually no the fabrega that he made was in 19 i think 1950 1950 the shredder seven yeah sorry this story was happened in nineteen edinburgh the seven nineteen fifty okay after this august not 1952 1952 they finished publishing all volumes using the money that rabbi rubinson had pledged and given in 1950 and that happened that night rashford made a fabregan and robbie rubinson said could would the rabbit explain something from the state hammett so the rabbit told the label groener and um one other person i forget who to go into the room is and bring out a volume oh it reached and they went in and and then they asked whatever which volume they never said any volume they took out one of the volumes and gave it to the neighbor he opened he told her he gave the rabbi gave it to robbie roberson he opened up to the page about esrig and then i became a whole beard about esrig about using an esther even though if it wasn't paid for um on uh before circus and because rabbi jacobson would give defeat the cadaver his essay and um i i i guess he wouldn't take money for the future could ever whatever so the question is is it really his and did i discuss that and he said it's fine hope he did all this started with the rebel ashab in when his cousin who delayed elijah was in the crimea raising funds for chevron for the chabad in in hevron and he met medini who told him that he you know he would like to publicize morris for him and he needs help so rabbi eliezer he immersed himself in getting it done and he got it done and he wrote letters to people and he told people to publicize this for him and they printed it so it's from there that the friday cadaver who of course knew about it i'm sure was involved that his father was so interested and involved in getting the the state habit printed that it passed on to the frida karebo passed around to the hour and of course i would never prepare indexes and there was others that were helping the rabbit to prepare the indexes for the state government what all this shows is the relationship appears of haimrski medini who was a safari a big talmud and regardless even though it wasn't the ashkenaz hasidic tradition nevertheless the rebel the friday and the rebel all involved himself because a years ago were excellent for hidden to him for jewelry hashem help that we continue growing in our yiddish kite in our siddhis guide in our abbas israel that all yidden swarden sedim all get together continue the unity which will bring these the curse that will celebrate pesach with the bringing and slaughtering of the carbon pace amen the army
