Yid

No, I didn't, I told it last week.

When you get into a conversation with somebody who's not providing his children with the correct Torah education Okay, so when I had these conversations 40 years ago, or even when I stopped somebody on the street in Brooklyn 50 years ago, okay? The argument was, Brighton Beach Boulevard in Brooklyn, I stopped a Yid who wanted to put on tefillin with him.

I was not more than 15 years old.

And the guy told me, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't put on tefillin because I am not Orthodox.

Yeshivas are exploding.

What are you talking about? It's 1977.

I had this conversation with a Yid standing on Brighton Beach Boulevard.

I still remember where I was, OK, in Brooklyn.

And on Pesach, I say this in Amunah, I say this in Ashgokha Pratis, and every Yom Tovah will be the same.

And of course, there is a certain passion that is mixed with every Yid.

It's the Yid who turns around, frank and free, with his own voice, and he turns around, He tried to do what he could.

He could have told him that he was a Jew.

I know that he would have been a Jew too.

And after a while, you take it off, if they're not changing.

For example, you're going, the Rebbe in the city, tell the Yid, and the guy is not making a sukkah.

Or Lulav, or Asay Tzitzis, they ain't Oysa.

Makin Oysa Yachetay Tzein Avshayn.

And they were not obeying.

So you don't take away the pressure.

you put on more pressure ultimately as you just confiscate and you give it to a coin he didn't take away the meat he took away the guy's cloak the guy's dollars whatever works just to force the person to keep the message today the way you do it is you you you you you uh kill them with love that's the approach that we have with this man that works the goal is it should work You got to do whatever it works to get a Yiddish to keep the mitzvahs.

If it works by taking away his cloak, do that.

Uh, let me just start this, um, a little bit at least.

Says the Ramak, "Otam habenonim she'einam yode'im lehitnaheg lifnei mishurat hadin." Those who don't know how to do extras, they're like regular Yids.

They do the Shulchan Aruch as it says, nothing special more than that, right? There's of course special, but not, you know, basics.

"Vehem nikraim Yaakov." These people are called Yaakov.

As I was walking around that new town where the pirates lived, I heard a commotion.

I asked the fellow Yids what's going on, and I was told that there's a Jewish family who were placed in prison.

Why were they placed in prison? because they couldn't pay their rent and this pirates who didn't receive his rent was upset and he placed his family into the prison i asked and i said how much money is needed to free them and the amount was exactly the amount i had in my money bag it was the amount of money i had to buy all the materials and the buttons and everything that i would need But I said, I have an opportunity here to help a family be taken out of prison.

I'm going to use the money for that.

Before the Ebersh even says anything.

the Yid is Mevatl himself to Rebbe Shto himself.

Whatever will be said, I belong to you yourself.

In the Lashon of the Maimah, the Baal HaRatzin, that's a deeper level of Bital.

The Rebbe explained that there's a certain Bracha here.

What's the Bracha? If a person is not on the level to be Mevatl himself completely to Hashem himself.

However, what is accessible for every Yid is to do the mitzvahs.

You do one mitzvah, another mitzvah, another mitzvah, the apostle is giving a bracha.

Below are several examples.

When, at the Apraksin Market on Sennaya Square, a hoard of goods was discovered in possession of Jewish merchants, people began to shout, "Plunder Jewish shops because Yids are responsible for all the troubles," and this word Yid is on everyone's lips.

A stockpile of flour and bacon was found in the store of a merchant, likely a Jew in Poltava.

Bacon? The crowd started plundering his shop and then began calling for a Jewish pogrom.

Later, several members of the Soviet of Workers' Deputies, including Drobnis, arrived and attempted to appease the crowd.

As a result, Drobnis was beaten.

In October in Ekaterinoslav, soldiers trashed small shops, shouting, "Smash the bourgeois, smash the Yids." In Kiev at the Vladimirsky Market, a boy had hit a woman who tried to buy flour out of her turn on the head instantly.

The crowd started yelling, "The Yids are beating the Russians," and a brawl ensued.
