0:00 I heard a story from the Rabbi; with the Rabbi's permission I will share the interesting story with the public. I merited to host this event, it is truly a very special event, dear to the Rebbe, the Rebbe wrote letters to people, I want you to participate there, the Rebbe invites people, every year special, for the participants of the farbrengen in Kfar Chabad. So it will be a great honor for us. I also have of the Rebbe, that the Rebbe distributed?
0:28 Many years ago, around the age of 17, something like that, I made a siyum on all the Chassidus books. And except for the Tanya, at night I dreamed of the Alter Rebbe. why did you not make the siyum on my book, I do not have your book. I do not have it. So he said to me, you will have my book. My book, you will have my book.
0:53 Good, I went to the synagogue, to this day I have the witnesses that the story happened, who were with me in the story. I go to pray, at the end of the prayer, I prayed at sunrise, the gabbai approached me, he says to me... he is a Litvak, like that... I want to give you a very precious gift, something that supported you greatly, I am bringing you here from the bag, he takes out a Sefer HaTanya.
1:20 And I was frightened by the dream, because it was exactly the same dream. And then he said to me, I used to give a Daf Yomi shiur in Brooklyn there abroad, and the Rebbe gave me this, the Rebbe loved him very much, the Rebbe gave me this as a gesture for having taught Jews there. You more... you will rejoice in this, and this will be the joy that you... I do not learn Tanya. They begin anew, they make a siyum, bring with you and you will make a public siyum of the Tanya, finishing from the Rebbe's Tanya... He says to him, what will I do with this? I am a Litvak.
2:05 He said to him, a day will come and you will know what to do with this book. Wow. And this is the book I have today. And this was on the same day, the same day as the dream. You hear, like, what was it? There was the dream. And that same night of the dream he brought me the book. And the Rebbe said to him, a day will come. [unclear] a Tanya Kadisha book, Your servant Aharon, this is the merit of the holy Tanya, this is the merit of the day of joy, the day of redemption, that we all merit to be redeemed with a complete redemption.
