0:07Lubavitcher Rebbe, his yahrzeit was just, I believe, yesterday. And there's a fantastic story that I heard about him from my Rebbe today that gives us a little bit of perspective on when you're supposed to pray. One Chabadnik comes to the Rebbe many years ago and he says, "Listen, they're having a big kinus, a big, you know, speech of all these big rabbis from all over the world. They're bringing people from Europe, from here, from there. And from America, they invited me. I'm not at the level of these big rabbis, but they invited me to speak. And they not only invited me, they invited me to speak as the main keynote speaker after the biggest rabbi in the world. So the Lubavitcher Rebbe says to him, good for you. He goes, I don't know what to say. What am I going to say in front of all these big rabbis? He says, this is what you say. And he tells him, listen, the Rambam says halacha XYZ, but the Rambam himself in a different book contradicts himself. But this is why. And he starts explaining to him the whole journey of how the Rambam got from here to the other one. And then he mentions all of the other Chachamim that have discussed this halacha, literally giving him the lecture from A to Z.
1:32The guy is so happy. I just got a speech from the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Wow. Imagine you have a speech from one of the biggest rabbis in the world. It can't go wrong. So he goes to the Knesset. He goes to this big event. Hundreds and hundreds of people, big rabbis, small rabbis, middle rabbis, all types of rabbis are there. Now they invite the main speaker. And he starts talking. And there's a Chabadnik. His eyes grew dark. Why? Everything he's saying is written in his paper. But the Rebbe gave him the lecture also, like a copy. Everything he's saying, he's saying. And he said, "I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say. What am I going to say to these people?" He said, "mamesh word for word, word for word. He said, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do everything." And the guy in his skin, the poor guy, is eating his heart out. He doesn't know what to say. "What do I say? Thousands of people here. I'm going to embarrass myself. I'm sorry. I have nothing to say."
2:40Because you can't just tell them, "Listen, guys, you know, you should have Emunah in Hashem, and you should tell your Kehillah to keep Shabbat." These are rabbis. You have to give them something special. He doesn't know what to say. And he hears this big rabbi saying everything word for word, but then he stops in the middle. And he says, "I'm sorry, I can't continue. I don't feel well." please, I really apologize, everyone. I have to sit down. So the MC comes up, he goes there, "I'm sorry, the Rabbi can't continue anymore, but we'll have our next speaker come up and speak for us." He comes up and it couldn't be better. It couldn't be better. Why? Everybody is saying, "Wow, we had such a great speech. We were left in the middle, right at the climactic event. Right at the most highlighted moment, it stopped. He couldn't speak anymore. We really want to know the answer. I wish we knew the answer." Then this guy finishes the rest of the speech. And everybody is like, "Wow, what a genius. Without preparation, he already knew what he was going to say. And he finished the whole equation. Wow." They praised him. They recommended him. He became the most famous rabbi.
3:58So then the Rebbe actually said that they had the speech. He told this story, and I believe it was in Israel, just maybe these last few days. And my Rebbe heard it, and he said, whether the Lubavitcher Rebbe had Ruach HaKodesh that he knew this was going to happen or not, that's not my business, I don't know. All I know is that the darkness that I felt when he said everything that I was supposed to say was a feeling I never wanted before. But Hashem also showed me that right before the biggest salvation in my life also came the biggest darkness. Right before the yeshuat Hashem, right before the greatest thing that I've ever experienced in my life, was also something that felt momentarily like the biggest embarrassment was about to happen. This, rabotai, is the reason why a Jew is supposed to pray before the problem, during the problem, and after the problem. was also something that felt momentarily like the biggest embarrassment was about to happen. This, Rabotai, is the reason why a Jew is supposed to pray before the problem, during the problem, and after the problem.
