0:00 Baruch Hashem, facing the Beis HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, facing the Holy of Holies. This apartment faces [unclear]. - Yes, yes. By the way, [unclear]. We pray for the redemption, baruch Hashem. What we have is the eyes of the congregation — this is one of the eyes of our congregation. [unclear] of the generation, that is what we have. May Hashem, blessed be He, lengthen the Rav's days, amen. 'Length of days is in its right hand; in its left, riches and honor.'
0:25 - May the Rav be granted length of days and years. Amen. May the Rav be granted 'length of days in its right hand; in its left, riches and honor.' That was different. [unclear] I once saw about the Maharit Algazi, Rabbi Yom Tov — they say he used to go about in torn clothing, his clothes were torn and worn out.
1:33 So once there was some very great rich man who brought him respectable clothes. So he said to him: The Holy One, blessed be He, gave me the gift of poverty, and what the Holy One, blessed be He, gave me — in that it is fitting to take pride. But the world is ashamed of it. And what flesh and blood, the rich man, gives — in that they take pride, in dress. That was the Maharit Algazi. He did not want to be seen [unclear].
1:58 [unclear] that his father turned down a shidduch because of the [unclear]. - Yes, yes. After all, his father told him that one of the reasons he does not want to bring it is that the other side is [unclear]; I do not see the [unclear] side. I also saw [unclear], meaning that they were people with sense. Yes, yes. Because [unclear] is madness.
2:22 They think that the money and [unclear] are theirs, no one has anything in this world, nothing. Only one who truly merits to gather holiness in this world, the Torah — that is the greatest merit. I heard about your honor's father, that he was always self-sacrificing for the Torah, and also your uncle.
2:53 So father asked the Holy One, blessed be He, to send a bomb, that would take all his children. The children — three children. I cannot sing here with the communists. So that [unclear] would send a bomb, [unclear]. - That is what he said? - He said that outside the Land they sang zemiros on Shabbos, at the Shabbos meal, and here they had already stopped singing, also because he was afraid of the communists, so that at least a little Jewish flavor would remain, a taste of Shabbos.

3:32 That is what he said: that [unclear] a bomb. - Better for him a bomb [unclear], so that [unclear] the communists — so it is better that a bomb should fall. - He is the son of the Rosh Yeshiva, and [unclear]. - What a merit. What a merit. They left Baranovich only because the... came. - Oy, oy. A blessing from the Rav too, welcome. What is this? [unclear]. - Rav, it is a privilege for us to see you, and may the Rav come whenever he wants. It is a privilege. - Whenever the Rav wants? [unclear]. Soon it is Pesach, [unclear], Mashiach will come. We will make here... - Yes, with joy. This is a house of prayer, a place to pray, may Hashem bless. May the Rav have length of days and years, 'length of days in its right hand, in its left riches and honor,' [unclear]. It is a privilege for me to see you.
4:21 It is a privilege — and may the Rav bless me too. [unclear] Hashem [unclear] wishes for you, for good, in all matters, [unclear]. for good and for blessing and for joy. And therefore the Midrash [unclear] says that to wish people the wishes of their heart is dangerous, because the wishes of their heart are dangerous. [unclear] the wishes of the heart for good, for blessing and for joy, and also that there should never be
