0:00 They say that he (the Noam Elimelech) drew forth thoughts of teshuvah. When he opened the Gates of Teshuvah, anyone who saw his face, or anyone who came to see Rebbe Elimelech, even if he saw only the back of his neck, would not leave the world without teshuvah. Everyone did teshuvah. Everyone who saw him, was awakened to teshuvah and returned to the Holy One, blessed be He, after he was with Rebbe Elimelech. So they say that once the Rebbe of Rimanov, that he met some chassidim... a great thing from Rebbe Elimelech.
0:28 That is to say, there is an artery here, and this artery, before a person passes away from the world, this artery trembles, It moves like this, and then a person his soul departs. When? When a person reaches a very, very, very great fear, then there is a shaking of this artery, and if it goes on too much, then he can pass away. Which artery? Here, where the neck is.
0:52 The main artery. And there is when a person is in dread, or in a very, very great fear... They say that by Rebbe Elimelech they would see this, when he prayed to the Holy One, blessed be He, how he trembled before the Holy One, blessed be He, his trembling before the Holy One, blessed be He. And when he would see a bed, a chair or a bench, he would know the thought of the craftsman who made the chair, what he did so that he would sit on this bed.
1:18 There were people... with the right hand. He did miracles and wonders, they would come to him once, the Rav here told me, He told that his grandmother heard from her father that he was with Rebbe Elimelech on Shabbos Parshas Beshalach and he asked that they bring a bowl with water He put his hand in, and the water split in two inside the bowl!!! About Rebbe Elimelech... he sits where the nest of stinging ants is, let them climb up on him.
1:50 One day he saw this... he composed the book, This book is a segulah, and it has many asterisks in it, and the asterisks are a place where the Komarna says there are many, many novel insights, supernal secrets. He promised that whoever learns in the middle of the year, constantly, in his book, can merit to rectify his soul, at the close of Shabbos, will merit a good livelihood, and on Erev Shabbos will receive an additional soul. Reb Aharon of Belz would not enter a house that did not have the Noam Elimelech.
2:17 That is, it is like a mezuzah, That is how he said it. He expressed that having the book of Rebbe Elimelech, is a segulah, so he said, Rebbe Elimelech... They say that he was... This book is a mussar book for tzaddikim, the whole book speaks about tzaddikim, and the tzaddik is like this, and the tzaddik is like this... therefore it is a mussar book for tzaddikim, Rebbe Elimelech... a very, very, very, very great quality, they speak of him once, who would arrive, wherever he was... every time the holy Chozeh Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak HaLevi of Lancut, the holy Chozeh, he had to come to Rebbe Elimelech, he would arrive, put his foot on the threshold of the door, Rebbe Elimelech comes out to him, like an alarm, at the entrance of the doorway; immediately Rebbe Elimelech comes out.

3:00 One day he prayed in a distant synagogue, He saw a certain scholar, a tzaddik, a chassid, who prays for hours, he said, him I am going to bring to my Rebbe. That is to say, he should become a student of Rebbe Elimelech. Good, He sat with him together, waited a couple of days that he... he saw his service of Hashem, that he is entirely praying... he waited for him, He said to him, a tzaddik, asked him his name, and so on, the Chozeh of Lublin traveled with him He sat with him on the wagon and they traveled together to Rebbe Elimelech.
3:27 When they arrived at Rebbe Elimelech, the Chozeh of Lublin stands at the entrance, and Rebbe Elimelech does not come out. They wait, wait, wait, he does not come out. Good, the Chozeh said, if so, no, perhaps the Rebbe is not home. He went to the wagon, he said to him, wait here a moment, he said, one last time I will try, he put his hand to the door, and at once Rebbe Elimelech opened the door for him, when he was alone. So he said to him, he said, why did you not open for me earlier?
3:55 He said to him, a man with such pride that you brought to me, I cannot open the door for you... If he is so proud of what he does, he is so proud of his Torah, he is so proud of what he knows, he is so proud of his prayer, it is worthless. Haughty of eyes and broad of heart - I do not want to see him. Leave him in the wagon and let him go back to the city he came from. Look how these tzaddikim served the Holy One, blessed be He, with very great humility.
4:20 They say that he and Reb Zusha used to go everywhere, And they had a tradition. Every town they come to, they know where there is a mikveh, where there is a shul, every town they come to, by ruach hakodesh they know, the beis medrash there. One day they came to a certain town, it slipped from their mind, they did not know where the mikveh was, where the beis medrash is, they did not know where it is. They did not know where. They try to search in thought, by perception they do not manage to see. They went to the holy Maggid, Rabbi Dov Ber, the Maggid of Mezritch, they asked him, and he said to them, they said to him, why is this so?
4:48 if a Jew merits to help you, to tell you where there is one, And then he will have merit, he will have reward for helping you. From Heaven they removed this from you. They say that there were... He had very great humility. in a certain shul, of a certain am ha'aretz. This am ha'aretz came and began to beat him with sticks. He said to him, get up from here, get up, get up, get up. and he shouted at him like this so that he would wake from what he...
5:14 And then, at that very moment, a fire broke out outside. And then they understood that it was because he dared to touch Rebbe Elimelech. So humble, so simple. There is a story that they tell. I know the person too, that this... They tell that there was a certain man who had a little girl, who did not manage to grow tall so he took her to Rebbe Elimelech, her father, he took her to Rebbe Elimelech, when they came to Rebbe Elimelech, Rebbe Elimelech was not home, So there was his room, they went into the room, and there was the bed, and she sat on the bed, a little girl of eight to ten... a little girl, Good, so she went to lie down on the bed, afterwards they left the room, Rebbe Elimelech arrived, he arrived, they had all left the room,
6:08 He goes from side to side, to sit on my bed. He sensed that something sat on the bed. They said to him, it is a little girl, Good, he called the father. He said to him, what do you want? That is what he said to him: I need her to grow taller. So he raised his hand like this, he said to him, where do you want... He said to him, where do you want... he said it like this, in exaggeration. Where do you want to do it? Where do you want, and she was really taller, she grew and she was taller, and all their descendants were tall, and their descendant was even at my wedding, he has passed away, I knew him, he was at our wedding, He was a descendant of this story, he told me the story, I also saw him 'in the name of chassidim'..., and all the descendants were tall,
6:49 he was really tall, the tallest in this world, This is a story that we saw with our own eyes. This is how the deeds of tzaddikim are, so that it will be for us strengthening and benefit, in honor of Shabbos kodesh, to be strengthened, that we mentioned him; certainly, with Hashem's help, his merit, will protect us, amen.
