Parshas EmorLag B'Omer in Lubavitch, 5666As I Heard Them, Vol. 1, p. 132, no. 1 I came to Lubavitch for Lag B’Omer in 5666 (1906). The Rebbe said the maamar beginning U’sfartem, Parshas Emor, twice: once on Shabbos in the small study hall, and on Lag B’Omer in the dining room of his home. To record one’s memories of Lubavitch one must have the talent to paint on a canvas — to be an artist. I’ll just try to portray on paper three moments from the Rebbe. "He Is Still Saying Chassidus — and Chassidim Are Listening"As I Heard Them, Vol. 1, p. 69, no. 11 My zeide portrayed the Mitteler Rebbe’s histalkus as it is described in Beis Rebbi, but added that the Tzemach Tzedek’s sons told him: When we told our father, the Tzemach Tzedek, of the histalkus, he said, “My father-in-law could not endure a single moment without revealing G-dliness to others; accordingly, as long as his neshamah was in his body he spoke words of Chassidus. “And now, as well, he is saying Chassidus — and chassidim are listening. ” Thicker, and Thicker StillAs I Heard Them, Vol. 1, p. 31, no. 4 My zeide said that as a small child he was in Reb Aizel’s sukkah while the s’chach was being piled up thickly. He asked Reb Aizel: “Doesn’t the halachah state that the stars should be visible through the s’chach?” “Listen, Yoel’ke, ” Reb Aizel told him, “I was with the Rebbe in Liozna when they put the s’chach on the sukkah. The Rebbe stood and signaled with his holy hands: Make it thicker…thicker.” And Reb Aizel cried out, “And I can’t do it any other way!”5 (My zeide told me something that had always puzzled him. He was named after his two grandfathers: Reb Mordechai, a chossid of the Alter Rebbe, and Yoel, a businessman. Nevertheless both the Rebbe — the Tzemach Tzedek — and Reb Aizel called him Yoel’ke.)
