0:00 With Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin. A certain Jew had no He had no children for many years. Years and years he... - That the Rabbi should tell it. - I want to hear it from you. He came to the Baal HaTanya, that he should have children. I cannot bring about a salvation for you. If you want, travel to Lodmir. Travel to Lodmir, you will have a salvation there. He used to send many to him. Yes, travel, you will have a salvation there.
0:25 and Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin asked him for an enormous sum. Suddenly he asked him for some sum - do you want a salvation? In short, he was like that, he was wealthy, but he was that kind of merchant. He said, I will go to my wife, I will ask her about the sum, he tried to bring the sum down. In short, he came back to him just a minute before sunset, and as he went in to Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin, he said, you missed it, there is no salvation. He had already agreed to pay, but he did not receive it from him. He traveled there broken-hearted, and returned to Rabbi Shneur Zalman, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman said to him, I will tell you exactly. In a previous lifetime you disrespected a Torah scholar. I don't remember exactly, or that you disrespected.
1:02 And because today is the yahrzeit of the Rambam, and the Rambam rules that one can repair disrespect of a Torah scholar through a litra of gold, He asked you for a litra of gold, such a sum, a large sum. The moment the yahrzeit passed, the hilula of the Rambam, You already missed the salvation, you have to wait for next year. So he asked the Baal HaTanya, so why didn't you tell me this? Why did you send me, if you already know the whole story, why?
1:32 So he said, you actually disrespected someone who was a rebbe. In the case of a rebbe, I cannot forgive the honor of a rebbe. That is why I sent you That is why I sent you... the merit of our Rebbe... through the Rav, through the tzaddik, one attaches to all the tzaddikim.
