Reuven Gottlieb, and Haskele Sasson, have pointed out to me the
value of transcribing RSC word-for-word; it tends to evoke his

So I've tried to do so here; and ain't put in [sic]'s in phrases
that don't quite conform to my junior high school grammar.

Excerpted short teachings
This was a concert tape, so all teachings are very short, between
songs; except for a telling of the 'Holy Hunchback' story
I will input the short teachings, but only new features from the
Holy Hunchback story.

ATLANTA CONCERT, Reb Shlomo Carlebach, Tape 3S, Collective Theatre
-- 5/31/87 , Atlanta, Georgia    
Level:  Elementary; oriented toward apparently predominantly non-
Jewish audience.
Style of teachings:  Printable:  short, smooth, clear, relaxed;
for general audience, but with nice touches.   
Quality of concert:  good, with a few lovely cadenzas and a bit of
nice whistling.
Might make a good standalone tape, at least in excerpts.

First teaching: Excerpted verbatim} 

Ok, shalom ... [incidental remarks ] 

My beautiful friends:
You know, for some of us -- you know, in two days it's -- for the
Jewish people -- one of the greatest holidays in -- our history.
Y'know, one time in history, one time in history, G_d opened all
the heavens, and G_d spoke to us.  And I'm sure you know that --
ok, let's say, the Jewish people were there -- the whole world was
invited.  The whole world was invited. {note 3S-1}

And I know that all of you were there.  All of you were there.
I want you to know, when you meet a person in the world, who wants
so much to bring peace to the world:  he was there on Mount Sinai. 
He heard G_d's voice saying:  'I am the LORD your G_d.'
[Reference:  Chumash, Exodus: _______ (first of the 10
commandments).]
And if G_d is one G_d -- then we all are `HIS' children.  And we
all are One.

Listen to me, I want you to know:
You know Shavuos is also the day -- the birthday of King David. 
And the date he left the world.  But the most important part, for
some of us, is because -- maybe you know that King David conquered
Jerusalem single-handedly, just all by himself.  And he conquered
Jerusalem the day before Shavuos -- before two days.  And on
Shavuos, was the first day, that Jerusalem became the capital of
King David.   

So I want to sing with you, from the Psalms -- and all of you sing
with me --

2nd teaching: (Introduction to 'Days are Coming'

You know, there are two worlds:
One world, people ask you:  What do you have.  It's -- (?)a(?) --
maybe a sweet world; I don't know about it.  But then there's
another world.  I don't ask you what you have.  (Chanting:) I like
to know what you're longing for -- I look to know what you're
dreaming about -- I like to know if you would hear a voice from
heaven, asking you -- heaven is asking you:  `What do you want'  -
- what would you answer.  

My beautiful friends, listen to this prophecy, that ?you and I for
our? children: 
(Singing:  Days are Coming)
[ Very moving singing ] 
----------------------------------------------------------------

Tape #3S, Side A, 24 minutes:
Teaching on Rebbe Reb Zusha:

Ok, now, friends:
The holy Rebbe Reb Zusha -- the holy of holiest -- 
And the Rebbe Reb Zusha would never say the word 'I' because 'I' -
- only G_d can say 'I' --  

So when he would talk, he would say 'Zusha'.
So the Rebbe Reb Zusha believed that nobody ever could do
something wrong, unless, G_d forbid, he forgot that it is
forbidden.
But if he would only be reminded [ remarks 'Amen', but maybe in
response to a remark by someone in the audience ] -- G_d forbid,
how can you ever suspect anybody doing wrong, knowing that it is
wrong.
So here:
The Rebbe Reb has to marry off his daughter.  And you know --
[the] hassidim got together and they gave him -- 500 rubles -- and
he was thinking, where can I keep it in a safe place.  
Hah! -- Rebbe Reb Zusha has an unbelieveable idea.  Rebbe Reb
Zusha put it in the Bible, on the page of the 10 Commandments.  So
if the thief comes and wants to steal it, he'll mamash see, 'Thou
shalt not steal.'  And -- how could he, right.  When he sees,
mamash, black and white, you're not permitted to steal,  [he]
definitely won't steal.
I hate to say bad things but:  comes the day of the wedding, and
the Rebbe Reb Zusha-le's great joy, he goes over to the Chumash,
to the Bible, and opens the page -- and I hate to say bad things -
- the 500 rubles were not there.
And -- can I just say something in the middle:
Reb Zusha was not naive -- took a lifetime to work on that --
takes a lifetime to work on it  -- to believe that every human
being is good.  Not because -- despite.
Reb Zusha was broken.
You know why he was broken -- not because he needed the 500
rubles.  He was broken that a human being can stoop so low, to see
in front of his eyes -- 'Don't steal ' -- and you still steal. 
How is [or?: 'was'] it possible.  Heart-breaking.
Anyway, a few weeks passed.
And if some of you know the Bible -- I'm sure you do -- and the
book of Leviticus -- Kdoshim -- it says -- love your neighbor as
yourself.  And 'your neighbor' is a bad translation; it means,
love the person next to you like yourself.  And behold, Reb Zusha  
opens the page -- and there are 250 [or?: `260'] rubles.
Oy, did the Rebbe Reb Zusha begin crying.  Gvalt, did he cry.  He
says, Master of the World, look how holy the thief is.  The holy
thief is sharing his money with me -- and I, Zusha, am so low, I
wanted to keep the whole money for myself.                     
[gentle laughter from the audience ]
[R SC touches a note on his guitar ]
You know, people laugh about it, but there is a little tear in our
eyes also.  I wish (?)it(?) [or?: 'I'] would be on that level.
I wish it [or?: 'I'] would look at the the world with different
eyes. 
Ok, friends, let's have a little new melody:
I don't know how much some of you know about our tradition -- I'm
sure you know a lot -- 
You know, before the Messiah comes, Elijah the Prophet is coming
to let us know that he is coming.  To prepare ourselves.
So -- 
There were some holy rabbis.  Whenever there was a knock on the
door -- maybe it's Elijah the Prophet.  
I want you to know, friends -- everyone -- needs Elijah  one time
in their life -- one time in your life -- but then -- you can meet
him all the time -- 
And let me share this with you, friends -- and if you open your
hearts to it -- 
You know, Elijah the Prophet is not only the one who is bringing
out the good news that the Messiah is coming -- Elijah the Prophet
is {Hebrew:  ?N-vassa besuas tora? }; he's the master of good
news.  
And here I want you listen what all the holiest kabbalists and
great hassid_ische Rebbes say:  
I walk on the street, and I see someone real broken and sad.  I
say to this person:  Hey -- Hi, you look wonderful.  You're
shining, you're good.  How are you feeling.  And you know,
friends, sometimes those words -- it happens, if you say it with
all your heart -- it happens -- you know who's walking right with
me -- Elijah the Prophet -- Ah [or?: 'Or'] , you say some good
news to another human being -- yeah, I'm right with you.
But imagine I meet my friend:  I say, Eh, you look tired and worn
out -- you became so ugly in the last year, what happened to you -
- right -- Elijah the Prophet says, Hey, Brother, I'm not going
with You.  ['you' emphasized ] Here, you're not one of my ['my'
emphasized ] friends.  
[Indistinct ] here's my song:  Elijah the Prophet, please come
soon.  And if you don't want to come, we'll bring you.  You know
how -- we'll tell each other such good words -- if parents would
only know, instead of telling their children, you're obnoxious,
you're terrible, you  would tell them, oy, you are so beautiful. 
Because Elijah the Prophet is coming at that moment.  What a
privilege.  

Let me first sing it a little bit soft, and then -- 
You know, it was beautiful to see Miriam and some holy brothers
getting up, but -- we need some more, you know -- 
[RSC singing:  Eliahu haNavi ]
---------------------------------------------------------------

Tape #3S - Side A:  35 Minutes
Mini-teaching:  

 ... [I elide incidental remarks  
Friends, let me tell you something:
You know how important it is to dance.  Let me tell you.
First of all, obviously, you have to sing.  
Because if you stop singing, you might as well -- take your bones
and go the cemetary, right.   It's cheaper.  You save the taxi to
bring you there some day.
Ok, you have to sing.  
You have to clap in [or: with]  your hands.  You know why --
because -- listen to me, I'll make it fast:
Issac, when he blessed Jacob, he said, 
Hakol shel Yakov [RSC ends Hebrew here ] 
Ha_KoL KoL Ya`aKov V_Ha_YaDaIM YDei `eSaV [Genesis 27:21, TOLaDOT]
it's the voice of Jacob, but it's the hands of Essav.

Sadly enough, in the world, it's still the hands of Essav.  Hands
of war.  People don't know what to do with their hands, but to
destroy.  So when I clap, while [or? 'when']  I sing, you know
what I do to the whole world -- I take the hands away from Essav. 
Bring them back into holiness.  
But what's about the feet.  
Let me share with you very fast.
We always think -- that the most important part is my head.  Let
tell you something:  the people who depend on their heads don't go 
anywhere.  They have 7 Ph.d's and they can't get ?enough? looking
at the wall -- gvalt, they have 7 Ph.d's, y'know -- when the
Messiah comes, I'll show him the Ph.d's, and he says, what's Ph.d,
?nebech? [laughter ] .  Must be some kind of a bad word, right. 
{note 3S-4}  'Cause I definitely don't have one, right.

But friends, you know what's wrong with the world:  They're cute,
they're sweet, but they have no feet.  They have good shoes, but
no feet -- they don't -- get up and do something, right.  
Do you know how long we talk about peace:  we're sitting there
with our heads, thinking about peace.
You know, when ([misspeak: Joseph tells his children) -- when
Yakov tells his grand-children, Ephraim and Menasche:  You know
who Essav and Issac was -- who they were -- he says -- Elo(k)im
?ashes? [RSC cuts off Hebrew quote ] -- XXX [Hebrew? --Indistinct] 
Abraham and Issac -- they always walked before G_d -- they walked
-- some of us shlep after G_d; it's cute, but it's not -- G_d
doesn't need shleppers; G_d needs people who pave the way for him,
to [or: 'and'] go in front.
And I want you to know, friends:
Anybody who gets up to dance -- paving a way, paving a way for
G_d's light to come into the world.  
So I can only -- make another appeal, y'know  -- a little appeal -
- all the holy ladies, join your sisters; and all the holy men --
let's get it together.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[34 minutes from start: RSC resumes singing 'Eliahu haNavi']

47 minutes

So you see, friends, not only the whole world is getting better,
even you and I are getting better, every second.

[RSC apparently asked to read a message from the sports team to
the audience: ] OK, there is a very important message:  XXX -- New
Mexico plays -- lights on.  It's beautiful:  keep your lights on -
- but maybe not in the car -- in your heart.
[more incidental remarks] 

OK, my beautiful friends I want you to sit down, relax a little
bit, I want to tell you a good story.  And then we'll sing again.

[sound level very low ] 

 / without saying anything good or bad about it. You know, sadly
enough, 40 years ago we lost six million Jews.  And you and I, we
have to tell  our children -- the question is:  how are you
telling them.  
So there's one way, (?)which the world likes(?), because the world
sadly enough still likes to say  bad things.
The world tells -- how cruel and how terrible the other side was. 
[Very hard to make out words; RSC is speaking distinctly enough,
but the sound level is very low; so it could be made distinct 
with good equipment ]

OK, XXX -- but what I need my children to remember the most -- not
what the (?)other one(?) [Cf. 'Acher', euphemism for someone
considered unmentionable ] (?)did to the six million(?) --  I want
my children to remember -- [in an awed tone] the 6 million -- how
holy they were -- ?were a gvalt?.  Was unbelieveable.  
?Think of it? [or: [to someone:] 'thank you very much.

And here I want to share with you a story about one of the
greatest greatest holiest hasidic masters -- XXX
sadly enough, we're living in a world -- without saying anything
bad -- so many thousands of Jewish kids are running -- to other
fields -- to other paths, to other teachings -- because -- XXX --
because we lost -- ?so many holy brothers? 
SOUND LEVEL NOW OK              
and all the holy rabbis who were -- to shine into our generation -
- sadly enough are not with us.  And we're just operating on 
['operating on' in the sense of 'a car operating on 3
cyliinders ] 
[the strength of ] a few holy rabbis's.  And -- hopefully,
hopefully, there's a new generation coming up -- who has it in
them to be great rabbis, and great lights, for Israel, for the
whole world.  
                             
Anyway, one of the greatest, greatest -- whatever I say won't be
enough -- the heilige Reb Kolonymous Kalman -- of ?Pershineske?. 
 
Pershineske is a suburb of Warsaw.  He became a Rebbe when he was
17 years old.  And you know, before the War, when the world was
filled great rabbi's and holy masters -- you cannot become a holy
Master when you're 17, unless you really are.  
And gvalt was he great.  Gvalt was he great.
Thousands, thousands, thousands of followers. 
And now, I want you to know -- he initiated a new thing.  Until he
came along, basically, it was a tradition that young people until
they're 20, ?they?  are just learning the Talmud, and when you're
20, you look for a holy Master.  Reb Kolonymous Kalman says: 
anybody who is 5 -- in one day [ie, at age 5 years and 1 day ],
you're already one day too late.  At least by 5 you need a holy
Rebbe.  You need someone (?)there(?) [or: who's] to guide your
soul; someone to give you strength.  [In raised voice:] Someone
who tells you how holy you are.  [In soft voice:] How deep you
are.  How heaven and earth is open for  you.                       
                                   
And you know that Reb Kolonymous Kalman -- imagine, a Rebbe would
come [to visit Reb Kolymous Kalman], a big Rebbe who was maybe 80
years old -- and a little boy, or a little girl, of 5 or 6 or 7 --
he [Reb Kolonymous] would spend with that Rebbe five minutes --
and he would say [to that Rebbe,] listen, you'll make it without
me -- this child -- needs me.
So Kolonymous Kalman had a kingdom of children -- kingdom of
children -- and -- he was their father, their mother, their best
friend -- 
Without telling you long stories -- he had written two books --
and if some of you remember, he put them under a stone, in the
Warsaw Ghetto -- and it was found -- by a Polish little boy.  He
went to an American soldier, he says, I found a manuscript -- I'll
sell it to you for a dollar.
The soldier was not Jewish, but he knew Hebrew.  He bought it for
a dollar, and then -- gave it to the Chaplain, Rabbi Hollander,
who is now a Rabbi in the Bronx.   He [Rabbi Hollander] printed
the books; and the books are like -- unbelieveable.     
He's [Reb Kolonymous ] sitting in the Warsaw Ghetto, and he is
writing late at night -- after work --  he doesn't say one bad
word about the world -- he just says, young people prepare
yourself -- to become prophets again.   Young people, I'm crying
before you -- in the name of G_d and name -- of the whole world --
become as tall as you can again --          

And the book is unbelieveable.  Right now there are some people
who are -- trying to translate it into English.  
[I'm almost sure this has been done. -- presumably by Jason
Aronson publishers.]

But anyway, I was so turned by those books, that I'm looking all
over the world -- where are those kids.
Sadly enough, none of them survived.  At least that's what I
thought.  
And here is the story:

You have to realize:
Reb Kolonymous Kalman ended his life in the Warsaw Ghetto when he
was 43 years old.  

-----------------------------------------------------------------

STORY OR THE HOLY HUNCHBACK:
PASS 2 NEEDED FOR THIS STORY:  OK to 3-stars:  
[RSC chanting to guitar]
[This is a complete transcription; I elide only repetitions,
remarks to the audience, et. al. ]

The story of the Holy Hunchback is recorded and input elsewhere;
Some remarks that I don't recall having heard in other versions. ]
This seems to be a somewhat better version, though not
dramatically so.

[Chanting:]
One day ... the sun was shining {note 3S-1a} -- I walked out on 
the Yarkon in Tel Aviv -- on a certain street-corner -- and there
I see -- the Hunchback.
[voice]
Hunchback -- street-cleaner -- 

But you know, sometimes you have some kind of insight.  My heart
told me:  this -- street-cleaner -- something special.
You know how the street-cleaner looked like. He was a hunchback. 
Worse than the hunchback of Notre Dame.  [In a classic silent
movie. ]  Completely broken.  Misfigured.  His whole body was
broken.  Only his face --- was still  so  ['so' emphasized]
handsome.
                                       
I said to him:  Hey, Shalom L'cha -- Peace unto you -- 
He answered me back with real [RSC starts to say 'holy'] heavy
Polish accent -- Alakam shulam.  
Ah -- the yiddele's from Poland.
So I said to him in Yiddish, My suisse Yid, my sweetest person, my
sweetest yiddele, where are you from.  He says, I am from
Pershineske.  Gvalt.  Like [an] atomic explosion in my heart. 
Pershineske.  The first person in my life I meet from Prshineske. 
I said to him, have you ever seen Reb Kolonymous Kalman, the holy
Master of Pershineske.  He says, what do you mean, if I saw him, I
was his student, for 6 years, from the age of five, 'till I was
eleven.   

He says, I want you to know, when I was eleven, I came to
Auchwitz, and I was so tall, and so strong, they thought I'm 17. 
But they  ripped me so much, they kicked me so much, [that] I
never healed. So this is the way I look like. 

He says, I have nobody in the world 
[very low voice] And he kept on sweeping the floor -- sweeping the
street.                                                        

I said my sweetest -- my sweetest friend -- do you know that I am
a big hosid, a big follower, of Kolonymous Kalaman, as much as I
never had the privilege of seeing him, but I have his holy books. 
I says, can you please give me over a teaching -- [of] Kolonymous
Kalaman.   
And he looks at me and he said: after 6 years in Auchwitz, you
think I remember anything.                         

I remember I just had X, I was nearly crying, X -- My toire [dear]
yid -- I'm sure you remember Reb Kolonymous Kalman's teaching --
tell me one word -- 
He was like testing me.
He looked at me for a long time, and then he says, do you really
want to hear a Tora from mine heilige Rebbe.  
He was a real hossid.  He put the broom -- on -- on the walls of a
house -- washed his hands -- took out a little gartele -- put it
?yahaneke? straight -- I never forget the tears -- never seen such
big tears -- 
         
And this is what he said:
[Chanting:] 

I want you to know, until the Messiah is coming, there'll never be
a Shabbos like (?)by(?) [or: 'when']  my holy Master in
Pershineske.  Can you imagine -- maybe 2000 children between the
age of 5 and 17 dancing L'cha Dodi,          P'nei Shabbos
Nikabala  
LKhaH DODI LQRAT KaLaH PNeI  ShaBaT  NQaBeLaH
[chanting very strong]
Can you imagine the Rebbe greeting the angels -- greeting the
angels together with 2000 holy angels -- there'll never be such a
Shabos again -- 

But now he says to me, pay attention to what I'm telling you.

Between each course the Rebbe would say Tora , on the portion of
the week, but I tell you the truth, I don't remember -- 
I only remember this one teaching: 
                                     
     Open your hearts, friends.

The Rebbe would say Tora between the fish and the soup, between
the soup and the chicken, between the chicken and the desert

{Well, that's how it was at a Shlomo Shabbos at Modi'in; but it
maybe it's a very romanticized version of what the street-cleaner
said}

Whenever he finished a Tora, teaching, he would say:
Children, ?seize? suisse kinderle , my most precious ... sweetest
children -- remember, remember -- gedenkte, gedenkte, toire
kinderle -- the greatest thing in the world is -- to do somebody
else a favor.
[Yiddish:  ??yetze sache gewendet -- zu ein emetzen toira??
                                                   
He taught it each time.  After each teaching he would say: 
children, my most precious children, remember:  "The greatest
thing in the world is:  to do somebody else a favor." 

I want you to know, he says, when I was 11 years old, for six
years [from the age of 5 to 11 ], for six  years, I heard it a few
times every Shabos.  

I came to Auchwitz -- and I knew my parents, and my brothers, and
my sisters are killed.
I would wake up in the middle of the night and I wanted to commit
suicide, I didn't want to live any more.   And I was just making
plans, how to take my life -- 
[Chanting:]
I swear to you, I swear to you:  I would hear suddenly my Rebbe's
voice -- telling me -- Children -- remember -- the greatest thing
in the world is -- to do somebody else a favor.

Do you know how many favours you can do in Auchwitz late at night. 
People are are lying on the cold earth -- and they want to tell
somebody about their wives and children that they'll never see
again -- and nobody has the strength to listen any more.  
I would get up, and I would see the first yiddele crying, I would
say, my suisse yid, tell me everything.                            
I was up all night listening to people, consoling them. 
Gave me so much strength.                      

{Note sa:  '[helping people] gave me so much strenght'  -- here
maybe RSC is speaking from his own experience }

A few weeks later, I wanted to kill myself again.
He says: I want you to know:  I never was at the end.  I would
hear my Rebbe's voice.

And he looked at me for a long time, and he says, you know, I'm
all alone in the world.  Do you know, there are moments when I
want to commit suicide right here in Tel Aviv.  I take off my
shoes, and I go down to the ocean, and I'm already up to my nose
in the ocean -- 
[Chanting:]
And suddenly, suddenly, I swear to you:  I hear my Rebbe's voice: 
I hear the voice of my holy Master -- and he says, Kinderle,
Chidren, most precious children, please remember, the greatest
thing in the world , the greatest thing in the world is, the
greatest thing in the world is -- to do somebody a favour.

I run out from the ocean, and I stand here on my corner.  
[quite softly:] 
Do you know how many favors you can do on a street-corner.
                

This was in August, my beautiful friends.   [A] few years ago.  I
had to leave for New York.  Came back Hanukah, to the holy Land. 
The first morning I woke up, and I went to that street-corner to
look for the holy Hunchback.  I didn't find him.  I knocked on a
door there, on a house, and I says, Friend, has anyone seen the
holy Hunchback.  And the man at the door says to me:  I'm so sorry 
to tell you, the holy hunchback passed away, on the second day of
Succos.          

Listen to me, my friends:
One day ... when the world will be Fixed again -- and all the
people come out of their graves.  I want you to know, the holy
Hunchback -- he will come out of his grave, and he will fix the
world -- 
You know how he'll fix the world -- do you know how he will clean
the streets of the whole world -- 
[Chanting:]

[ I elide Miscellaneous remarks]:


You know, my beautiful friends -- can I share something with you,
and I'm sure you agree with me:  without saying anything bad or
good --  {note 3S-2a}

I have seen a lot of French people -- very patriotic French people
-- but whenever I say the word 'Paris', I don't see tears in their
eyes.  

You know, I don't want to say anything bad, I've seen real
patriotic Americans, you say the word 'Washington', do you see
tears [laughter from audience] -- I know what you mean -- 
                             
OK, I've seen a lot of good Dutch people -- you say the word
Amsterdam, you know -- maybe they're smiling but -- there are no
tears -- and I don't mean tears of sadness -- from being touched -
- 

What? What?  [to someone in the audience apparently from
Amsterdam] Yeah?

Say the word, Jerusalem, gvalt -- touches me so deep -- 
		
[RSC backtracks to  apologize to the Dutchperson: {note 3S-3a}]  

I'll tell you something -- you know, you're right -- Amsterdam has
to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, really. 
Y'know, I just gave a concert there 10 days ago and it's --
really, one of my favorite places.

You -- you're from Amsterdam, by any chance?  Yeah, ?and? hey,
hey, gvalt -- so why didn't you say so --                 

I want you to know, my father -- was supposed to be -- I think
1930, [or] 1931 -- become the Rabbi in Amsterdam -- and -- he met
the Dutch Queen -- and my father liked her so much; and she liked
my father very much -- well then, (?)someone(?), something
happened and ?he? just -- he didn't become the Rabbi of Amsterdam. 
Mazaltov; what can you do. 

Well anyway, I'm just telling you this whole tora-le because -- I
want to sing a song for Jerusalem, the holy City, and -- can we
get as many people to get up , like -- crazy --  

Jerusalem is not only in Israel.  I want you to know, the Baal
Shem Tov said:  Wherever two people meet and love each other --
it's Jerusalem.  Wherever two people meet -- and remember there is
one G_d , who got them together -- it's the Holy Temple.  Wherever
parents kiss children -- it's the holy of holiest.

Tape #3S, Side B = 35 minutes:
Chanted teaching:  I elide some words:

You know, my beautiful friends:  Friday night ... the holiest
night of the week, the holiest night of my life ... I want to
bless you and me, and especially our children -- you know, flowers
need a certain ammount of water; flowers need a certain ammount of
warmth to grow -- let me tell you, our children need Friday night
much love in the air, there's so much peace, so much holiness.     

So Friday night ... , we're singing -- 

Let me just share with you:
Friday night is so deep; it's fixing up the whole world. 
Everybody knows:  on Friday, the first Friday in the world, we
failed, because we ate the Tree of Knowlege instead of the Tree of
Life.  So Friday night, everybody knows, the food -- from the Tree
of Life, not from the Tree of Knowlege -- but a different ?taste?
[or?: 'tale']] it's so holy, it's so beautiful.  
But you know something, friends:
We not only have to Fix the Tree of Knowlege, and Tree of Life. 
We also have to Fix Cain & Abel.  So Friday night when we eat, we
eat from the Tree of Life.  But Cain & Abel we Fix when we sing
together.  Because what did Cain & Abel:  they didn't serve G_d
together; everybody was doing their own thing.  So when we sing
together Friday night, let me tell you what we're singing:

We're singing {Hebrew:  Kol Dibrei l'Olam ?l'ay? l'ol maya'} --
Master of the World , Master of Glory, Master of Holiness, Master
of all Masters -- Yours is the glory, Yours is all the Holiness --
if I would live thousands of years I could never declare ... I
could never tell ... who You are .  But I'm asking You, Master of
the World, -- {Hebrew(?)} ... Redeem Your people out of Exile,
Redeem the World, Redeem the whole World now.  And I'm asking You
one more thing, Master of the World, take me back ... {Hebrew(?)}
of Holies -- and I promise I will sing, I promise I will ?whisper?
[or?: 'whistle'?] {Hebrew(?)} ... in the city where all the beauty
of the world meets --
