Again, another time that the Rebbe in the same farbrengen mentioned also one of the very interesting stories. The Rebbe said that he got רשימות זכרונות written by Rabbi Perlov. Rabbi Perlov was a rav, a very חשוב'ע רב, he lived in Australia at that time, but he learned in Lubavitch. And the Rebbe said he got the papers from him that he's preparing to print, I don't remember the לשונות the Rebbe used, and the Rebbe said, \"I'm going to chazer over one of the things that he writes in the Sefer Hazikhronos.\" And the Rebbe said this as a connection, continuation from Sefer Hazikhronos, \"Since we're talking about the Sefer Hazikhronos, so I want to mention that it's kedai that all the chassidim who have זכרונות from Lubavitch and things should write it down.\" And he said that this he wrote it, and that's the sefer, Likkutei Sipurim, that he wrote. Later it was printed, it's called Likkutei Sipurim, but the Rebbe spoke about it before it was printed and mentioned his name, Rabbi Perlov. And the Rebbe said that he told a story, something that he heard from Michael, Rabbi Michael Bliner, Rabbi Michael der Alter. And the Rebbe stopped and said, \"I want to explain who Rabbi Michael der Alter was.\" Michael der Alter was one a mashpia in Lubavitch. Now, when he got older, he couldn't really do the job as teaching chassidus, he was older already, so they the the one in charge of the money wanted to fire him, and the Rebbe Rashab, \"Keep him, pay him a salary, because his just being there in Lubavitch and people should see him, that itself is ווערט די געלט, is worth the money.\" So the Rebbe just described who he was,

and then the Rebbe says that Rabbi Michael der Alter, Rabbi Michael Bliner once farbrenged, and he said that when you learn chassidus, you learn Tanya, you have to always keep in mind that it means you. You have to take it personally, that what whatever you're learning there means yourself. And he gave a mashal. The mashal was that there was a a ישובניק. There was a ישוב. ישובניק, there are people who lived in a ישוב in a small village, and there was many ישובים, and the people there were really not learned. They were not scholars at all, and they couldn't even read לשון קודש, they couldn't even read without נקודות. So they had a melamed there which teach the kids, and if anybody of there got a letter from somebody written in other than, I guess, their language, had would bring it to this melamed, he should read it for them. So once a melamed, a person got a letter, he came to the melamed and gave the, the melamed started reading it. And as reading, the תוכן of the letter was that the father of that ישובניק רחמנא ליצלן passed away. When the ישובניק heard this being read by the melamed, he fainted. And Rav Michael, that's the story, and Rav Michael asked, \"Why did he faint? He didn't read it firsthand. He couldn't know, he didn't know what it says there. The who the one that read it was the melamed, so he got it firsthand, why didn't he faint rather than him, that is the other person?\" And the answer is, וואס, ס'איז זיין טאטע, it's his father, so it's noge'a to him. Since it's his father, it's important to him, you take it to heart, that's why he fainted.

And the Rebbe bring the lesson from here that when you learn chassidus, learn Tanya, you have to always know, דאס וועמען מיינט מען, דאס מיינט מיר, ס'איז מיין טאטע. And this was a nekudah the Rebbe started this farbrengen, and במשך of many farbrengens later, the Rebbe kept on mentioning this. און ווי מ'האט גערעדט, בנוגע מען דארף געדענקען אז דאס איז מיין טאטע. You have to remember that all these things that he's talking about is that is noge'a to him, it's מיין טאטע. So that's another nekudah that the Rebbe mentioned in this farbrengen, which was unique to speak about this.
