 LABEL READS:
Reaching Beyond Ourselves 
Reb Shlomo Carlebach
PRIMARY THEME:  `Reaching Beyond Yourself'
SECONDARY THEMES: 'Hiding',
TOPICS INCLUDE: Yosef haTzadik, Rachel gives over the signs, 
STORIES:  Gut Purim Pinchas
PARSHIOT INCLUDE:  Vayigash, Yitro, Bereshit
EVALUATION:  Some dazzling remarks; but overall uneven, hard to
listen to; it was evidently late in the evening and RSC was
apparently fighting exhaustion, not always with complete grace. 
The delivery is in places a bit too histrionic, even for Florida
(though it Georgia it would have been deemed practically British).

[white space at start of Side B -- apr. 2 minutes]

{*Ad53}

OK, the boy was smoking a little hashish sometimes, you know.  He
has his head on his shoulders [as] much as his father.
You know what they did on his 21st birthday:  they called the
police on him and had him arrested.

{*Ad54}

The boy was so heart-broken -- his parents [or: 'it was terrible']
-- [he] went wild -- 
They put him in -- they called it then -- XX -- 'solitary
confinement'.  His girlfriend called me up.  And she says:  I want
you to know, you don't know my boyfriend, but you knows you, he
was once in the House of Love and Prayer -- and -- the Rabbis in
that city, they're all with his father, naturally he's the
President of the Temple

{*Ad55}

I mean, how could they go against him -- 
He needs -- just somebody to talk to.
Listen to this:
I had to leave the next morning -- I had a plane nine o'clock to
Paris.  The whole thing had to be then.  
I said to her, I'll tell you something:
If you can arrange for someone to drive me right now from New York
there, I'm ready to sit with him all night; and drive me tomorrow
morning straight to the airport.
Anyway, she came and picked me up, drived me to the prison

{*Ad56}
{END DOC =sc11t; annotated transcription continues on =sc11q;
RSC verbatim from same follows:}

[sic, 'drived'.
{*Ad57}

[Repeat:] Anyhow, so she came and picked me up, drives me to the
prison.
[Resume:]
But you know, I didn't know, that in order to go to prison [to
visit a prisoner], you need a written statement from the lawyer. 
Although, basically, a Rabbi can go into prison any time.

{*Ad58}

Anyway:  But I didn't have -- I had no identification that I'm a
rabbi 

{*Ad59}

And I didn't have a letter from the lawyer.
Anyway, you know at night in prison everybody sleeps -- I'm
getting there about eleven o'clock -- and this nebuch -- nebuch,
sad little guard sitting there in prison -- half asleep -- 
[RSC in a tone of somewhat smug aggression:]
I knock --
And he says:  What's going on here.
I says: Listen, my dear friend:  I'm a Rabbi, and I have to see --
one of my parishoners
{Note (sa):  I will give 50 cents to whoever can find another
place where RSC uses the word 'parishoner*'{
his name is This, and he's in solitary confinenent, and -- it's a
question of life-and-death; this boy needs me.
Ah -- He says to me:  Do you have identification?
I say:  [Are] You crazy, look at me, what do you think I am, a
garbage collector or a -- shoemaker.  What do you mean; I'm a
rabbi and I want to see him.
But I mamash put the fear of G_d into him.

He says [RSC takes on the hurried tones of someone with limited
authority placating someone who may have more:]  Ok, OK, OK.
[RSC laughs at the recollection]   
Anyway, I want you to know, I had -- 
You know what the saddest thing was, I forget to tell you -- his
parents sent food to him, in prison, and he refused to eat their
food.

{*Ad60}

You know, it's just, he says, I'll have nothing to do with you any
more.

Anyhow, I my pockets, mamash y'know -- I had my coat -- I had
mamash -- full of food.  All kinds of things.  X .  Vitamin pills. 
Just X

{N.B.:  RSC did take vitamin pills, in Natural Mega-Vitamin form &
quantity, as far as I know:  that is, several times I gave him
some health food store Vitamin C, and he seemed glad to get it.}

And he didn't -- you know, he didn't investigate what happened --
[ie, the guard did not search RSC ].  And also, I had a package in
my hands.  And also I had a lot of Reb Nachman.  A few things.

{Note (sa):  Ie, RSC had evidently taken the time and effort to
collect and bring with him things he thought the prisoner would
find useful.}

Anyway, I want you to know:
He [the guard] brings him [the prisoner] out .  And this boy was
such a high person.  I want you to know, I spent with him four
hours.  We didn't talk about the word [or: 'world'] prison, about
parents, about hashish, about nothing -- I was mamash -- I was
learning with him and 
{N.B.:  RSC says 'learning with him' not 'teaching him'}
Reb Nachman (?)for four hours(?) [or: 'so far'].  

{*Ad61e}

Just to give him strength.
Every few minutes one of the guards came in, listened a little
bit, and walked out.  I had to make that flight.  OK, about let's
say 03:30, I finished -- I gave him all the food , and he was
hiding it -- also, like a coat or something -- we walk out.

And here's where the story really begins.
And the guards were sitting there, right.
I said to him, Tell me something -- I said it in front of the
guards -- tell me the truth, brother:  Are those guards still
human beings, or have they lost everything -- or is there hope for
them.  
So he says:  You know something:  I think there is hope for them.
So I said to the guards:  You know something -- I came all the way
to spend a little time with you here in this prison -- and -- this
young man and I were just learning -- the deepest secrets of the
Torah.  Why didn't [ie, why don't you] -- all join us for a few
minutes.
Mamash we made a circle -- the prisoner, humble me, and the guards
-- and we were singing a little bit --  ?nebuch? -- I was giving
them  -- Reb Nachman toras -- and they're mamash crying,
gefeillach -- they were mamash crying -- mamash got to them -- 
And here was the most unbelieveable thing, it was like after
Meshiach is come.
Ok, naturally we hugged each other, (?)I(?) kissed them.  
They locked the door, I walk out.  I looked back, the prisoner and
the guards were standing there waving.  Unbelieveable.  I tell
you, it was like after Meshiach has come.  I couldn't believe it. 
Couldn't believe it.
Anyway, Good Purim.  

OK:  Yossi, you tell me what you want me to learn about. 
Anything.  OK, I'll tell you:

Let me tell you one beautiful thing:
What is the greatest -- sign of love in the world.  
I want you to open your hearts to it.
The utmost evil is loshon hora, right -- to say bad things about
another human being.

{*Ad62}

What's the other side.
The other side is not:  I'm not saying anything bad.
It's just, 'I'm not saying anything bad', right.
The other side is:  When you tell me -- y'know -- 'somebody else
did something wrong' -- I'll tell you:  y'know something:  It's
all my fault.
It's all my fault.

{Note (sa):  And elsewhere, as I recall RSC saying from a tape, I
think Torah Times, that I transcribed, RSC says:  'On Rosh HaShana
it's clear to me:  It's all my fault.'}

I want you to know the deepest depths:
When Aaron haCohen, the High Priest, walked into the Holy of
Holiest, he didn't ask for forgiveness, he didn't say anything.  
And there are millions of teachings on it.
You know what the real truth is:
According to the Gemarra:  The Gemarra says:
[Aramaic, quote from Gemorra:  ?Sheh-tit-ya t-v-doar?]:
When you say nothing, that means you admit it.
{Cf. German, l'havdil:  Keine Antwort is auch ein Antwort}
You know ?what? Aaron haCohen [said when he] walked into the Holy
of Holiest.  He says, [If there] is anybody here who did something
wrong -- it's all my fault.  He says:  If I would be better, they
would be better.

And here I want you to know something so deep:
You know why Adam was driven out from Paradise:  Adam and Eve -- 

{Note (sa):  Does anyone maybe say:  Only Adam was driven out, Eve
could have stayed , but --- }

You know, when G_d says to Adam, Who did it, he [Adam] should say: 
G_d, it's all my fault.  
This is the way you love your wife, you tell G_d, it's my wife's
fault [interrogative] -- you don't cover for her --
[interrogative] -- out of Paradise.  Get out of here.

And I want you to know the deepest depths; this is really really a
deep tora-le.
The beginning of the Wedding is:  that the groom covers the face
of the bride.
You know what he is telling her:  I will cover for you.
Because every bride and groom is the Fixing of Adam and Eve.      
He says:  I cover up [for] you -- I'll cover you up.  I'll take it
all upon myself.

[N.B. (sa):  In colloquial American, to 'cover up' [for someone]
is to 'smooth over' a situation for which they would otherwise be
blamed.  A 'cover up' is a false story used to obscure a criminal
action. ]

I want you to know the deepest depths:
In the Sukkah:  I want you to know, in the Sukkah -- everybody
knows, Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, and the four [and/or 'fore-']
mothers -- maybe they're coming if they want to, but it's not part
of Pesach -- in the Sukkah, after Yom Kippur, Abraham, Yitzak
[and] Yakov come -- and the holy mothers.

I want you to know something:
You know what Sukkah is:  to cover -- right.
I want you to know:
A Rebbe teaches me right and wrong.  You know what parents are all
about:  parents standing before G_d and say, It's all my fault.
If I would be better, my children would be better.
 
You know, Yom Kippur, I'm standing before G_d, and I say, G_d
forgive me.  On Sukkos Avraham, Yitzhak, Yakov and the four
mothers come -- they say, Master of the World, it's all our fault.

And here I want you to know something even more awesome:
On Simchas Torah I dance with the Torah -- the Torah is covered. 
You know what it is:  The Torah stands before G_d, and the Torah
says:  G_d, it's all my fault.  The Torah covers for me.  The
Torah says:  G_d, if You wouldn't have written in to me 'keep
Shabbos', then this person would be ok, so it's all my fault --
right.
The Torah covers for me.

I want you to know something:
You know why I dance with the Torah:
If the Torah is so holy, that the Torah covers for me, then I
really want to learn the Torah -- right.
The Torah which only excuses me, makes me feel guilty -- I'm not
?sitting there? -- right.
Gevalt, I didn't know the Torah was so holy, right.
I didn't know the Torah was so holy.

And I want you to know something awesome:
It is based on a Torah from the holy Kuzimer:
The Kuzimer says:  Why did Moshe Rabbenu break the tablets.
Moshe Rabbenu comes down, and we made the Golden Calf. 

{*Ad63}

He broke the tablets.  Why'd you do that.
So he [the Kuzimer Rebbe] says like this:
Moshe Rabbenu says to G_d:  YOU want me to give the Jews the Torah
-- which will make them into sinners --- I'm not interested in
giving them that kind of a Torah -- he broke the Torah -- a gevalt
[N.B.:  Similarly, Cf. Kitov (Book of our Heritage) , on Tammuz ]
{*Ad64}

Awesome.
I don't want to give them a Torah which means `I'm guilty and feel
bad'.  I want a Torah which gives them strength.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. 

And here I want you to know the deepest depths:
On Purim we're sending each other's gift [sic, and apt, ie, we
send each other gifts from another ] -- not face to face.
On Yom Kippur, it's just the High Priest, as I mentioned before.
On Purim it's every person.
You know what I'm saying to you -- not face to face.  I will cover
[or maybe:  I'll recover ] for you.  Don't worry about it.  I will
cover for you.


[N.B.:  Again:  on this tape RSC seems physically tired and
mentally/spiritually soaring; his words stumble to catch up with
his thought/insight. ]

And here I want you to know the deepest deepest deepest depths.  
In the whole story of Esther, G_d's Name is not mentioned.  
You know what it is:  because G_d is covering for us.  [Whisper]: 
?I won't mention Your? Good Name.  Cover for you, right.
Gevalt, when I realize -- 
[In strong voice:]
And you have to realize the Gemorra says, that on Purim we mamash
receive the Torah.  Because I always think, G_d tells me:  Do
this, do this.  G_d is covering for me.  Ah, it's a different
[aspect of ] G_d.  Didn't even know.  
I didn't know what kind of a G_d I have, right.  And I didn't know
what kind of a Friend I have.

Now listen to this unbelieveable thing:
The groom puts the veil over the face of the bride, telling her,
I'll cover for you.  Don't worry about it.  You know what the
bride does:  she walks around him seven times.


{*Ad65}

[The bride as it were says to the groom:] `I'll protect you also. 
I'll cover for you.]
And gevalt, you know, then we say seven blessings.  If they love
each other that much, they deserve seven blessings, right.
You know how deep this is, friends.  Mamash clear to me.

The holy Baal Shem Tov one time came to a city, and there was this
preacher there, and he was telling Yidden, mamash, you're sinners,
you're this, you're that.  And you deserve to be wiped out,
[laughing as he speaks:] ?he's so much? telling them, he's laying
the fear of G_d upon them.  
And the Holy Baal Shem Tov's -- ?nebuch?, he can't take it any
more.  And the Baal Shem Tov says to him:  Can't you make a living
in  another way, than to say bad things to Jews.
[RSC laughs]
  
I heard this story from the Old Lubavitcher Rebbe [ie, the
predecessor of the recent 'Lubavitcher Rebbe' Reb Menachem Mendel
Schneersohn ]
The Baal Shem Tov [sic, but maybe misspeak for 'Old Lubavitcher
Rebbe'] says:  He [ie, the Baal Shem Tov ] went on the bimah, and
he says, G_d in Heaven, I swear to You, he's lying.
I swear to You, he's lying.  They're the best people in the world,
right.  The best.

And here I want you to know:  Why is Purim higher than Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur, I'm standing before G_d, and I'm telling G_d how bad I
am.  Then I need Aaron haCohen to cover for me; Avraham Yitzak and
Yakov cover for me on Sukkos, and the Torah covers for me [?ie,
the Torah covers for me on Simchat Torah?].

You know, on Purim I'm standing before G_d, and it's clear to me Þ- mamash -- don
t have to say a word to G_d.

You know:  I want you to know something:
If I love my children very much -- and I hope we all do -- if my
little girl [or: 'girls'] say something bad about herself -- I
won't let her.  I won't let her.

{*Ad66}

I say, how can you say something bad about -- about my sweetest
girl, right.

{*Ad67}

So you see, on Purim we are close to G_d; we are close enough to
tell him everything we do wrong.

{*Ad68}

But we're not that far yet.
On Purim we're so close, G_d says to me -- Don't tell me anything
-- just tell me, Good Purim.

[R. Shlomo in the voice of Gut Purim Pinchas:] GUT PURIMMMM!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------
***
{APPARENT BREAK IN RECORDING}

RSC Singing :-- Familiar niggun -- Yehi shalom -- 
May there be peace in your moats & castles 

RSC:  I want to say one more thing:
I want you to know something:
If I love somebody a little bit, then, let's say -- the girl I
love the most, let's say her name is Channa-le -- when you talk of
Shpritzele, I think of Schpritzele, right -- and you say Rivke-le,
it's Rivke-le -- 
If I love a girl the most, and it might be Channa-le, and you talk
about Schpritzele, I'm still still thinking of Channa.  You say
Rivke-le, yeah, but I'm thinking of Channale.  You say Sarah-le,
and I think the whole time, Channa-le, right.

If you love G_d a little bit, when you mention G_d's Name, it's
G_d, when you mention somebody else's name, it's somebody else. 
On Purim, when you love G_d the most, whatever you say is G_d,
right.  Every word is G_d you say.  Ahashverus is G_d.  Haman is
G_d.  Mordechai is G_d.  There's nothing else.               

[RSC strums a few notes on guitar]

I have one more Tora, which also is beautiful:

You know, the truth is, the Tora is G_d talking to us, right.
Why do we mention G_d's NAME -- because we don't hear G_d is
telling it to us -- we read it in a book.  Where it says G_d said
so.  

On Purim we're so high, I mamash hear G_d telling me the story of
Esther.  
Oh, G_d doesn't say 'G_d' -- HE's telling the story, right.  So
you see, it's clear, the real ?kabulise? Tora.  The real receiving
of the Torah is when we read the Megillah of Esther.  Mamash, I
hear G_d talking to me.  For sure, G_d doesn't say 'G_d did -- ' Þ- I'm talking, 
ight.  

[OK, sports fans; to me sitting in Chaverat Shalom in the
mid-70's it has seemed:  this is the unheard (beyond-audible)
echo of 'haMelech' [the King, ostensibly Ahashverus].  It was
maybe Ronnie Levin who read it thus; or another of the women
there.]
 
If I tell you a story, I'm not gonna say 'Shlomo walked, Shlomo
ate, Shlomo breathed -- ayuh, sure, I'm talking to you, right --  

[RSC strumming guitar]

Let me tell you just one thing.  Jerry, you know, I don't know how
you handle, when it comes to making noise ?b-Homan? -- you know
what most people do -- the noise is endless, right.  And then they
don't hear the Megillah properly, and then they ?will? stamp with
their foot -- 

I heard a gevalt Torah in Bobov:
The first year the Bobover Rebbe came to America, I watched him --
comes to Haman -- and he said a gevalt Torah --

Imagine, why do you do like this -- because it's clear to you you
didn't do it the first time, right -- [RSC whinnies, briefly ] --
so you think, if  you will do it a hundred times, you will do it
[interrogative] -- Or you can do it, or you can't do it, right.  
And you know what it is:  What is Haman ?Amalek? [or?: ?HaMalek?]
-- takes away our self-confidence; ? hee says? -- You can't do it
anyway, right -- I'm stronger than you are -- 

On Purim it's clear to me, Haman is my ?answer?, wipe him out
?after? --

So the Bobover Rebbe says:  that -- in Bobov, by his father, and
his son -- what are you doing it [ a ] hundred times -- give one
setz and that's it, right -- 

First of all, it's so much class, right.  It's mamash class.  [to
someone who comments from the peanut gallery: ]What?  ?Yeah I
said? you give one setz, y'know.  I watched the Bobov Rebbe,
y'know, the way he was reading the Megillah, it was mamash like a
prince, right -- and us shleppers give a [ indistinct, discrete
cackles from the peanut gallery ] -- and they way they go like
this -- they don't listen to the Megillah, and they making it 
crazy --                                                      

In Bobov it's so beautiful -- the people with their foot, one
[stamp at the name that is to be blotted out ] -- and the kids
with their gregger [ Glossary: 'gregger' [ an Ashkenazi grogger ]
a wretched ratcheded rattle rolled about an imbedded handle ] --
one time -- 
                                               
It's very beautiful.
I had the privilege of watching them breaking through in my shul.
            
{*Ad69}

You know -- it was mamash beautiful -- 

First of all -- class -- and second, it's  -- mamash, Haman --
psht [the Rabbi makes a small sound, like someone quickly gnashing
and swallowing a grasshopper, or possibly a cricket ] -- like
atomic explosion, right

{*Ad70}

[RSC strumming guitar:  to a sports fan [whose side of the
dialogue could probably be pulled off this tape with good
equipment; I'm transcribing from a Boss portable radio cassette
recorder with davka no counter that cost slightly less than a
business lunch

Which one?  Oh, you talked to Danny --  Ah -- Yeah -- 
I think it's (?:)thinking(?)last year we taped my Megillah reading
[presumably in RSC's NYC Shul ]  --  I heard  in Bobov when he
came to America -- but in my shul -- Oh, you want to hear the
Megillah reading, ?with? one zetz -- ok, we'll have to do
something -- ?ya, be well? -- 

[RSC strumming guitar]

Ok, and also, something which is very important: 

{*Ad71}

You know, everybody's sending shelach monos to friends; what about
your own wife, your own chldren.
{*Ad72}

You know, we are so busy doing things for the world, we forget the
closest, right.  
B'ruch '' I got through to my chevre on the Moshav -- you wouldn't
believe how beautiful it is to watch them -- every little child
brings shelach manos to their parents y'know -- it is so sweet --
and so beautiful, y'know.
What?
You know what the cutest thing in the world is:  last year, when
my cutest little Dari gave Neshama-le a shelach manos from me --
y'know -- and I gave Neshama shelach manos back from my little
Dari -- y'know -- 
Ah, it was so sweet.

I'll tell you, this is deeper than the High Priest on Yom Kippur,
y'know ?actually?

{*Ad73}

It is touching the deepest deepest depths of our neshama, y'know.

{*Ad74}

It's not asking for forgiveness on Yom Kippur.  Tsk.  
[sic, Tsk.  Not so many folks say Tsk outside British novels, but
this was a mamash Tsk.]                         
[in a veritable whisper:] I'm not talking about that.
[restore normal voice:] Imagine husband and wife, all they're
talking about is forgiving each other.  What a relationship is
that, right.                        
{*Ad75}
{*Ad76}
{Philw1}
{Philw2}

You see, I'm not  -- Let me tell you something -- let me make it
clear to you -- I'm only saying this now because it's Purim,
right:  
When it comes Yom Kippur I'll tell you gevalt, is Yom Kippur
heilig [or: 'heavy'] , gevalt -- 
And I have to tell you a Bobover Torah, which is true:
Bobover Rebbe says:  For us Yidden it's like this:
When it comes to Pesach -- Pesach's the greatest thing in the
world.  I mean, how can you compare anything to Seder night,
really.  You don't know what Yiddishkeit is.

Comes Shavuos, I say, what's Pesach, right.  Shavuos, mamash, I'm
standing on Mt. Sinai, this is it, right.  
I mean, comes Rosh HaShana, I say, listen, really, leave me in
peace, ?this Shavuos? -- Rosh HaShana, I blow the shofar, this is
?for night? -- ?then? my soul, it's the deepest -- 
Comes Yom Kippur, I say, what are you talking about, Shavuos
[N.B.:  These words don't make much sense, but there ain't much
sense to make out of them -- ]
Yom Kippur, mamash, it's the holy of Holiest -- 
Then comes Sukkos, I say listen, what's so big about Yom Kippur --
Sukkos, I'm sitting in the Sukkah, mamash, I'm completely
surrounded by G_d's light, I mean, what are you talking about Yom
Kippur --
Then comes Simchat Torah, I say, what's so good about [Sukkot] --
sitting there, eating ?up? -- Simchat Torah, I dance with the
Torah, that's the highest thing in my life -- 
Then comes Hanukah, I say, what's Simchat Torah, cute, you're
dancing -- Chanukah I'm kindling G_d's light in the world -- on
the darkest night, I'm kindling Meshiach's light -- so what are
you talking to me about Simchat Torah, right -- 
Then comes Purim -- I say, listen to me, what's Simchat Torah
about -- how dare you -- Purim is unbelieveable, it's beyond
everything, beyond everything -- 

And the Bobover Rebbe says -- You think we are lying? -- It is
true -- on Pesach -- it is the highest ?time? in the world --  
On Shavuos -- it is the highest Shavuos in the world -- it's all
true -- it's mamash true -- 

And you know, someone asked ?me?, what's an assimilated Jew.  So I
said to him -- I can say it in a million ways, but -- an
assimilated Jew, who doesn't have the taste, that Pesach is not
Shavuos, Shavuos not so -- it's a holiday, right -- it's not 'a
holiday, right' -- Pesach's something else -- 

And you know, in most Hebrew schools, sadly enough, they're giving
over, that  'it's a holiday' -- in most Hebrew schools they tell
the kids it's a holiday, another holiday.
It's not 'another holiday', right.
I'll tell you something -- 

Let me give you over one Tora-le from my father, before I say
goodbye to you:
You know my father was (?)shomer mitzva(?) -- I mentioned it
yesterday, after prayers, my father was just -- I don't know,
Devora-le, if you ever saw my father -- no, you didn't -- I'm
sorry I didn't invite you to my house ?up for? [or: 'after'] 
Shabbos, I should have -- that time I was not so much into
inviting guests for Shabbos, y'know -- took me a long time to
learn --                        

What? Yeah; it took me a long time to learn.  Only when I went
down to the House of Love and Prayer, I realized, it's the only
way I'm saving Yidden, was by inviting them for Shabbos -- 

{*Ad77}

{END DOC =sc11q; Annotated transcription concludes as =sc11r; RSC
verbatim from same follows:}

You know, today, everybody's doing it, but at that time I was
mamash the first, y'know, like -- was revolutionary, everyone was
spitting in my face even for saying it -- 
at every concert I was begging, at every Shavuos I was begging
people, invite people for Shabbos -- there was no other way --
there is no other way --   

One Rabbi says to me:  We'll never invite you again; you made us
feel very uncomfortable  -- anyway XX [the audience and RSC laugh; 
I think he mumbled the punch-word ] 
We came here to enjoy ourselves, not to hear you preaching.  Ok,
forget it; ?so? mazaltov.
He lost the job also, mazaltov ?sei gesund? ?So did he.?
`I want singing here, ?not? [or: 'no'] preaching.  
Mazaltov.  I think he's selling horses now in Israel.  I'm joking. 
I'm joking.  Well, it's a good joke.  

{THE RABBI TELLS A HORSE JOKE:}

You know, the joke is like this:  A rabbi went to Israel, and he Þ- is selling ho
ses.  So people said, what's going on here.  He
says, in America, horses tell the Rabbi what to do; so why
shouldn't in Israel Rabbi's -- Yeah, the horses -- [firmly and
with conviction:] in America horses tell the Rabbi what to do, so
why shouldn't in Israel a Rabbi tell horses what to do, y'know.
No, I didn't say it right, so -- XX -- something is missing --
anyway, I want you to know ?then? -- who cares -- 

Ok, I want to tell you my father's Torah:
My father was always giving over to my brother and me, he had
mamash to -- take care of all the Jews, you know.
So my father says to me:  There are two kinds of assimilated Jews: 
one, you can help, and one, forget it.
Maybe Meshiach will help them, but I don't think you can.
My father explained it to me like this:
Imagine that in B'nei B'rak an assimilated Jew is driving his car
- or let's say half-assimilated, I don''t want to -- it's not I'm
judging ?them? [or: 'now'] it's just, I'm telling it the way my
father told it to me.
A Jew is driving his car, and there's a red light.  And he sees: 
a yiddele with a streimel with seven children crossing the street,
right.  And he thinks, I wish I could ?drown? them all, ?the most?
disgusting Jews -- Hechhh --  Can't stand them.
My father says, this kind of a Jew, forget.    

Then he says:  someone is driving [ on ] Shabbos, and he sees a
streimel-e with seven children -- walking the streets, going to
shul -- and suddenly he has tears in his eyes -- Master of the
World, I wish it would be me and my seven children -- 
Ah -- ?this one I save? [or: 'this is another thing']
All he needs -- to be invited to a Shabbos.
He wants to have Shabbos, ?but nebuch? he doesn't have it -- give
it to him.

{*Adr1}

The other one doesn't want it, y'know.  What are you giving it to
him; he doesn't want it.

Y'know, in Netanya, there's this big street now.  One time I --
the chevre and I stopped and -- we bought pizza.  And I said to
the person who is selling the pizza, hey, X -- what's your name;
say, Hatzkele -- Hatzkele, when are you coming to my Moshav for
Shabbos.

You know something -- he put down the pizza, burst out crying. 
Mamash, burst out crying.  I said to him `Hatzkele, makera l'cha,
what's happening' -- he says to me, `do you know, I'm in Israel
for 30 years, and I'm waiting for somebody to invite me for
Shabbos, and you are the first invitation I got.' --
unbelieveable.  He says: `I'm waiting for 30 years for an
invitation.'  
You never know, right.  Mamash, don't know.  

RSC strumming guitar:  OK, let's sing one more song.

Niggun:  David, Malech Yisrael.

I ?heard? one story in Bobov which -- I told it   all over the
world.  You know, in Bober -- they weren't so rich in Poland --
but the old Bobover Rebbe -- Reb Shlomo-le, a hundred years ago --
how much money did they have to buy beer, but they had one big
barrel of beer, and everybody was supposed to get a little drop. 
So there was one husky hossid standing there, drinking from the
beer, the whole time.  Don't let anybody get close.  So the
Bobover Rebbe says, Hey, -- Avremele -- you're not the only person
in the world -- how about 'loving your neighbor as yourself' --
somebody else wants beer also.  He says, Rebbe, he says, that's a
good commandment for all year, but Purim I have to get drunk, so I
gotta drink.  The Rebbe looked at him for a long time.  He says,
if you love your neighbor like yourself, you can get drunk by
giving a glass of beer to somebody else.   

Ah.  L'chaim.
Purim -- Gevalt.  Thank you folks.  

Chevre:  'Good Purim!'.

[Somebody says]:  'Peace'
[RSC responds: (in a Florida translation of `Aleichem Sholom'):]
Peace to the Pizzas.
