TAPE IS APPARENTLY PEACE2, which I guess continues from theend of the 12/26/93 session (=Session 1 = Day1) withoutincluding the pre-game
APPARENTLY THE LATER PART OF THIS SESSION IS RECORED ON TAPEPEACE3, but that's just my guess
Prefacfed by my pre-game notes; followed by my notes ofbalance of session.
2nd SEMINAR SESSION, 12/27/93, 9:00+ AM.  PRE-GAME:

{THE FOLLOWING ARE MY NOTES, TAKEN AT THE SEMINAR INREALTIME; THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CHECKED AGAINST THE TAPE.
Reality ain't what it used to be.}
============================================================

R. Nachman:  
Reference:  (Hebrew only):_____________________________________
  The essence of being able to hear is via the letters beingengraved in the air.
Mimi Feigelson (Staff, Yakar):  In Birkat ha-Cohenim, thewords circle like a chuppa, canopy.
R. Zeller (Director, Yakar):  The word 'word' (dvar) alsomeans 'thing' [in Hebrew].  So words are something tangible. Speech is used to manipulate, do magic.

Text, R. Nachman:  -- and the airs that are created in theshape of the words hit off each other {oral translation, R.Zeller, reading from the Hebrew text}.  When the air ispeaceful and clear, the words can be heard from afar.  Butwhen there is a storm, then anohter person can't even hearthe voice.               
Mimi:  The voice is the unconscious element, the words arethe conscious -- you can hide a lot with words, but the[spoken] words [voice] are what really expresses.

Text (?):  Similarly, when there is love between two people,the concept of love is also the concept of this atmosphere.

R. Zeller:  Peace -- that which reduces distances betweenpeople.

Mimi:  Like a piece of spirit.

Text: -- the good speech of each and every one of us is heardby his friend.  The world hears and ...
[The words?] of the true tzaddik are heard very far.
His words [not only now] precede him.  Even those who are farcome near him.
Torah has the power to draw penitents and converts closer.

The Zohar Kodesh says:  when someone is talking you only hear10% of what they say -- and a person only says 10% of whatthey intend -- this was only until Mt. Sinai -- Moshe Rabbenu-- his tongue refused to move {Exodus: 4:8; Midrash _____} --if I can only say 10% of what I mean --

START R. SHLOMO 12/27/93 MORNING SESSION

{R. Shlomo pre-game banter:
Dovid you're a gevalt.
OK, good morning
What did you learn this morning brother
R. David Zeller (Director, Yakar):  We started with the firstone _____ the first two
R. Shlomo:  Ayyiyiyi, not to be believed.  Did you learn alsoBet-Tet?
DZ:  No; we were going to start that with them but the hiddenone showed up; what could I do.

{R. Shlomo, teaching begins:}

OK.  I want to share something with you very important
	You know when G-d said let there be light in the world.[REFERENCE:  Bible, Chapter 1]
Basically G-d created the sun and moon on Wednesay {FNr1-sa}
[ie Day 4] so obviously we are not talking about light to seeif it's Pepsi-Cola or Coca-cola right?  That light wascreated on Wednesday [ie Day 4].  We're talking about acompletely diferent light.

	There's a story that the heiliger RIMINOVER, obviouslyhe could see from one corner of the world to the othear. Someone says to him, Haven't you learned in the Talmud thatafter the destruction of the Temple there is no prophecy, howcan you tell me you see form one corner of the world to theother?  He says, you really think when G-d created the worldand HE created man in HIS image and HE gave us eyes, he meantwe should just see five inches in front of us?  The way G-dcreated us, by our very nature, we can see from one corner ofthe world to the other.  He says, prophecy is, even if I'llexplain it to you, you wouldn't know what it is, because it'sbeyond you, right.  But just seeing from one corner of theworld to the other is obvious, right.  
l2
{TYPIST'S COMMENT:  Right.  Or so I hear tell.}{FNr2-sa}
l1
The only thing is, sad thing is

.p
{start ms. p42}

it's the same with hearing, right.  So seeing and hearinghave become so --- 
l2

{INPUTTER'S RMK: IS THIS AN INAUDIBLE PORTION OF TAPE, OR DIDTHE LECTURER PAUSE?  Inaudible portions should be indicatedby some standard symbol -- I use 5-underlines _____ -- pausescan be indicated by 2 dashes with a space on either side --but not by an ellipsis (...) since that's the standard symbolto indicate that one has intentionally omitted a knownportion of the original statement } .  If a name is omitteddeliberately, this is conventionally indicated by an initial-- of the individual, or an X, or NN .
This remark can be deleted, &/or filed off to \neverneverland
l1

This is all because of the Tree of Knowlege. When someone istalking, am I listening to him or [am] I sitting there andjudging.  Imagine my sweetest _____ will tell me something,right.  So the way I listen, so first of all, do I like hervoice, or don't I, right.  Is it a beautiful voice or not? I'm already judging, right. And then I'm thinking, ah, thelanguage, do I like her language, right?  I'm so busylistening to every outside.  In the meantime I don'tunderstand what she says.  Yea, I hear a little bit.  
	But you see:   the big CHIDUSH is, that after Mt. SinaiG-d broke down the walls.  
	I want you to know something:  the non-Mt.-Sinai people-- I don't want to say anything bad, I'm not even angry atthem -- you know why they don't --You know, take the world,forget about anti-Semitism now, just on the human level,millions of people are dying from hunger and they don't hearit, right.  They write in the newspapers but they don't hearit inside right.  Because they only hear 10% of what's reallyhappening.  If I were to tell somebody, you know, mamish, amillion people are dying, you have enough money, you haveenough cake, you have enough Coca-Cola, to keep them alive. I don't want to say anything too bad, but at one time _____ avery _____ person, I was talking to about really doingsomething, gvalt at tha time in San Franciso in the good ol'days House of Love & Prayer where we really mamish savedthousands of kids.  So he says to me very honestly, he says
.p
{start ms. p43}

anything which has to do with more than 10 people I can'ttake. {FNr3-sa}
One of the great Jewish leaders.  He can take 10 people,right, more doesn't go in.  They don't hear what someone'ssaying.  Why don't they hear.  Becaues, again, we werelearning it yesterday, [=sh931226 ]  the distance betweenthem and the other person.  
	Everybody's talking long distance.  

	Now I don't want to say something too stupid.  You knowthe old joke that a crazy person comes the the therapist andhe says, Doctor, you have to help me, I'm calling myselfevery night long distance and I can't pay the bill.  So theDoctor says, there is no other way, you have to call yourselfcollect.

	You know what Reb Nachman says:  You know it is soimportant to hear, right.  Because the air carries the voice. The air carries the voice.  

	I want you to know something very special and holy. Avir in Hebrew, air, comes actually from the word     AOR,the light _____ of G-d.  You can't live without air, right. Because basically the greatest revelation in the world is --air.  You can't live without air.  You cannot live without acertain amount of the light of G-d.  And, I want you to knowsomething, talking about, you know sometimes you go into aroom and it smells so bad you know, and the CHOTKEVER??, theheilige Chotkever, before he walked into a room they wouldpour out, I don't know how many bottles of the most expensiveperfume.  Because the Rebbe could not, for one split second,be in a room in which there was a smell.  Gvalt, right.
.p
{START MS. P44}

	I have to tell you something.  You know the KOTZKERRebbe, for years barely walked out of his house, I mean nothis room, his shoes.  And he only slept in a bed Fridaynight.  All week long he he would sit by the table, learn,fall asleep, wake up, keep on learning, and he only changedall his shirt, underwear, socks, once a week, because he hadlike a littlle mikvele there.   And so listen, Rebbe goes tothe mikve, takes off all the old stuff and then the gabbiputs next to it the new tstuff, right.  Do you knowsomething.  That the gabbai could never know the diferencebetween the old stuff and new stuff.  Because whatever theRebbe wore for one week had mamish the fragrance of paradise. It was, I mean, not being dirty I understand, right.  Youknow when you wear  a shirt a week it's showing, right.  TheKotzker, for a whole week, nothing on it, unbelievable,right, cause the air --
l2
{TRANSCRIBER NOTES: (pss) = 'pause'?}
l1
 

	I remember the old LUBAVITCHER Rebbe, when you walk inthere -- the closest anybody can get to the Baal Shem is theold _____ [Lubavitcher Rebbe??]  I mean it physically, theair.  It was not from perfume, or from a deoderizer, right. It was really crazy, you know, for months after the Rebbeleft, you know the air was still [tasting?? -- supplied bytranscriber?] this paradise _____

	So Reb Nachman says one thing:  When people love eachother, when people really love each other, then the air is sopure.  
	And I want you to know something very deep.  When youhate each other you know what hatred smells from, murder. You
{LAST WORD CARRRIED OVER TO NEXT PAGE BY INPUTTER}
.p
{start ms. p45}                                   

	You know what hatred is?  That if you wouldn't be inthis world I could also exist. ______ I don't understnad why'' created you in the first place, I guess it was a mistake. That means I am wiping out out from the world.  You know howbad that smells, gvalt does it smell bad. So when peopledon't love each other, the whole air is already so bad, wecan't even hear each other.  And also obviously we can't seeeach other. Because the first thing is when you hate someoneyou don't see them anymore.  You know it's actually in theTorah, what Reb Nachman says:  
	[In the Torah it] says: And his brothers hated him[REFERENCE: Genesis:      ] {HEBREW:  v'Lo v'cloi?? l'DaBerbshalom} and they couldn't talk to him peacefully any more. You know when you hate somebody ou can't talk to them, it'sheart breaking.  Mamish you can throw words at them.  Here weare talking about communication, right. _____ 
	You know -- imagine, a lot of people suggested it --  ifone -- you want to make war, you want to hate each other,it's ok with me, but -- maybe a month is too long -- let'sfor one week love each other.  For one week talk to eachother.  _____ It would be a gvalt, right. Because suddenly wewould realize, he's a human being like me.  Same person.  

	But anyway Reb Nachman says, and this is Reb Nachman'sdeepest torah in the world:  In the same was as there isphysically a tornado,  also spritually, when you hate eachother, you put a tornado in the air. (TRANSCRIBER: (PSSSS)}the voice goes out so loud that the neighbor makes a lot ofnoise, right, and it doesn't darry the words anymore.  Hereyou can feel it.  You can
.p
{start ms. p46}

mamish feel it physically, you walk into a room, the peopleare fighting.  
	You know sometimes I have the privilege, I'm traveling aliitle bit, so then let's assume the President of the shul, Ihave to give a concert, he invites me for dinner before theconcert.  B'ruch haSHEM I stopped doing it, I always tellthem, I don't want to eat, so I'm avoiding all this, but atthe beginning I wasn't so strong yet.  I remember one timeI'm coming to a house, I didn't believe what I saw.  Husbandand wife fighting with each other like {TRANSCRIBER: Pss}.  Imean, that's stupid, you invite a guest, behave for 5mintues.   But obviously maybe that was already their bestbehavior.  I have no idea how they behaved when I wasn'tthere.  And then not only that, the way they were talking tochildren.  I mean today I would have walked out of there. I'm more strong inside.  They were mamish putting thechildren to shame in front of me.  Psss??  gvalt right.  

	So you know what it is: in that air you can't talk,right, because the tornado is turning everything around.  

	I'll tell you something very deep:  you know when peopledon't like each other, not only they don't hear what theother person says, they mamish hear the opposite, right.  
	You know, imagine I have a fight with somebody, then Isay, you know what, let's make peace.  And the other onesays, why, you said you'll never make peace with me, what achutzpa. And I said the opposite.  What a tornado.  Turningeverything upside down, right.  I say words to you and youturn them around.  

	I don't want to say anything bad, I don't want to _____politics [BUT:]  

**	You know:  How can you make peace with someone whodoesn't hear what you are saying?   Right?
	
.p
{start ms. p47}

	Oh, it's not to be believed, he says -- but by the bigtzadikim you know. {DID THE TRANSCRIBER MISS TEXT HERE?}

	I want you to know something:
	When the first 
L2
{INPUTTTER'S NOTE:  THE FOLLOWING WORD, OLD, IS NOT IN THETEXT; I add it to faciltate a PSearch for teachings by andabout hassidic Rebbes;  referring to the first LubavitcherRebbe who served in the USA as the 'Old Lubavitcher Rebbe'} 
L1

OLD LUBAVITCHER REBBE came to America, the first thing hesaid:  "We need to purify the air."  Because he saw inAmerica is terible, you cannot utter one holy word. Unbelieveable.  

	I don't know if you ever heard the story of the _____    For me it's _____ the joke was I would say that I met thisbig hassid in _____ and I asked, what ae you doing here, andhe said, I'm purifying the air, you know.

	But you know, listen this:  Have you ever noticed thatbefore a storm, it's quiet.  Awesome.  I want you to knowthat when G-d spoke to us on Mt. Sinai, there was one secondwhen G-d spoke to us, the whole world was quiet.  So what didthe world assume?  Ah _____ it's coming, right.  So they cameto Bilam and said, Is a flood coming or a tornado orsomething.  He says, yes.  But a different tornado, not atornado that's destroying the world but some kind of atornado that should rebuld the world.

	You know the most famous pusuk {HEBREW:    }, who siadit, Bilam.  Not to be believed.  So I asked him what'shappening to the world, to say {HEBREW:  H' sol?L l'amoryten?}, G-d is giving strength to his people
.p
{start ms. p48}

_____ is blessing them with peace.  It means G-d is givingthem the Torah.  So that we can bring peace into the world. You know even our biggest enemies, they had moments when theyknew who we are.  I mean this is a _____ I don't want to gointo it again.  I'm sure you know it.

	One of the big [Nazi] generals in Cracow, at the marketplace who shot 400 people, and one person -- and one personfell down before he shot him and he was lying there and theythought he was dead.   But he heard the general talking.  Thegeneral said, "You know something,  if the fuhrer wouldn'torder us to hate the Jews, I would become a Jew myself.{FN9r-sa}  Gvalt.

	I saw an unbelievable story

Whenever you want to talk to a person,there has to be theutmost peace between us.

12/27/93 12:08:

When Yakov met his brother he bowed down 7 times {Genesis:  }... Obviously he was not bowing to Essav ... he was prayingtht when he gets there, he should only talk to his brother --because Essav was his brother for 5 minutes -- but then itsays Essav went back where he came from --
For 5 minutes the world was our brother 
l6
[[ie, on Sept. 13, 1993 -- Essav is associated by the Rabbis with ImperialRome; and so one might say, with the USA as predominantpolitical/economic/cultural imperialist power -- sa]]

Yakov is paving the way for us to fight off the world -- 1parasha -- but for 4 parashas the brothers are fighitng offeach other
The Ishbitzer says, to fight off the nations [[goyim]] is -- 
12/27/93:  12:18: The story of Hagar as a parable ofJudaism's suggested attitude toward Xianity:

Hagar was the daughter of Pharoh -- when Sarah left, Pharohgiave her as a gift one of his daughters -- in the house ofAvraham even his slaves, servants, were treated as a princess

What's wrong with Xianity -- lovely, lovely -- someone hitsyou on one side -- did they ever do it? ["turn the othercheek"]
You have to give people a balance
Avraham is Hesed, Sarah is Gevurah, to keep it in balance --
Avrham had a yeshiva for men, Srah had a yeshiva for women
Tosefta [says]:  they were fixing the world -- Gevurahsh'b'Hesed
[[That is:  limitation, strength, exemplified by Sarah,qualifies the unlimited magnanimity, grace, exemplified byAvraham.]]
You have to know who to love and who not to love
To do charity for an evil person is not love

Xians:  they exert their love always in the wrong places.

[In the 'peace' negotiations] We're not talking to the goodpeople, we're talking to the murderers.                           
MANUSCRIPT #12279A1  p57 ENDS SHORTLY AFTER THIS POINT
(SAID MANUSCRIPT HAVING CONSISTED OF pp49-57, being thetranscription of TAPE=%PEACE2(YK)

Hagar said [to Sarah], you're fired as Rosh Yeshiva, I'mtaking over -- for them (goyim?) women are not not humanbeings -- it's just to do your thing

If you have Hesed without Gevurah a little bit, you're givngyour money? in the worng palce.

If Hagar even thought to become Rosh Yeshiva, she was on thereal?  - she had Clear Prophecy -- she spoke to angels -- youthink Avraham got some little Filipino girl?
Hagar was the wife of Avraham
Her mistake was, she thought you could run the world withjust love --
The angel said, you have to go back --
The wife has to balance the husband --
Husband and wife have to balance each other.

Most marriages today, if they're good, they hardlly talk toeach other.

Ishmael:  Abimelech wanted to rape Srah -- an angel came, hegot sick, couldn't touch her -- everyone got sick, nochildren? were born -- Abimele4ch said, I'm sorry, I didn'tknow she's your wife -- Avraham and Sarah prayed so hard forthe Philistines to hae children -- for other people to havechildren -- but they were crying inside, why don't we havechildren.

When you pray for someone else --

Yishamel said to Yitzak, you are not the son of Avraham, youare the son of Abimelech -- that's murder -- first of all,[if Yitzak is the illegitimate son of a married woman] he's amamzer -- Yitzak wants to be the holiest person in the world--
[Avraham? or Sarah? said]: A murderer I will not tolerate inmy house.

*We were hoping that the people who are [presently] runningthe country [of Israel] would be connected to the people --but they're not -- it's a goyische place. [27.12.93]

I had the privilege of seeing good Polansische?  -- thePolisznisher Rav -- the Alexander -- he knew the names ofeveyr child of his 4000 hasdim -- there was not a -- 

*The people [of Israel] are so broken [at present] becausethey realize the leaders are not connected --  [27.12.93]

*The Gemara says, when Avraham Avinu died, Ishamel didtchuva.  In a certain very deep way the Arabs give us morekavod [honor, respect] than the Xians.

*What's going on -- why are we silent -- there's a passagaethat says, 'You have to raise your voice like a Shofar'.

*	On a deep level, it's my fault because I  have to lovethem [`Palestinians'] first -- if I wait for them to love mefirst, it will never happen.
[If] I'm a black man, I hate the white man.  A black taxidriver -- I quote him like the Ishbitzer -- [said]:  YouJews, you've been persecuted for so long and you have not yetlearned how to hate.
                 
R. Nachman says, all the time:  Peace is not between ideas,it's between people.
MANUSCRIPT #12279a2 BEGINS ABOUT HERE 
*Sometimes you are not in the right place, and sometimes youare mamash in the wrong place.


*There is a sefer from the Kotzker Rebbe's gandson -- I wishsomeone would translate it into good English -- [in which hesays] There is no mitzva which is so unclear as the mitzva ofliving in Israel -- "Go to the land which I will show you"[Genesis:    ].  This land is for people who G-d shows it to.

A stewardess on an airline said:  What's wrong with you Jews-- if I ever convert, the next morning I'm in Israel -- 
	What's wrong with su?  Because we were there wehn theMiraglim were ther [Exodus:   ].  It contaminated us [withambivalence about the land of Israel] -- the converts wereonly there at Mt. Sinai.  
l2
[[Referring to a midrashic? tradition that anyone whoconverts to Judaism as present as the giving of the 10commandments at Mt. Sinai; and so in that sense Jewish frometernity; hence conversion is seen only as an acknowlegementand acceptance of one's Jewish identity, not as assuming anew identity -- sa.]]
l1
A Torah from the Alter Rebbe -- a person needs 3 things: food, shelter, clothing ...

*My connection to Israel is beyond choice. 

*There are some yidden who think we always have to apologizeto the world, because we have the land [of Israel].

*The last 3 hours before Messiach comes, it will be so hard - in the last three hours before Meshiach comes it will beabsolutely clear [in our minds] [that he will never come].
	When you know what to do then you find a way to do it --but when you don't know [what to do then you don't know?] away to do it.                  

I would talk to Arafat -- Reb Yohanon talked to the RomanGeneral [during the siege of Jerusalem, prior to the captureand razing of Jersualem] -- G-d gave us a mouth to talk --doesn't mean I would give him the land -- 

*They [the present government] don't care for peace -- theywant to be accepted by the goyim -- let the goyim be acceptedby us --
Because they don't like us, we have to leave?

Parasha Shemot:  Why was Pharoh so angry with Joseph -- thenew Pharoh was the grandsom of the old Pharoh --

*The problem [in the present 'peace' negotiations] is we arenot talking to the good people.

*Right after the 6-Day War we should have given concerts inevery school [in the occupied territories]
[R. Shlomo makes this point in more detail on, =sh9312ha:

{The following copied from =sh9312ha:}

	Basically, at the beginning, right the beginning, rightafter the 6 Day War, I was talking to all the top generals,because I was singing for the soldiers, and I said to them: Who am I to tell you, but I'm still telling you.  You need anarmy to make war, but you need an army to make peace.  (Thiswas my first year year in the House of Love & Prayer.)  Isuggest to you, just bring over a thousand hippies, and allthe thousand hippies from my chevre should go all over thecountry {400} playing every Arab school, make friends, everyArab has to know, there's one Jew who's his friend.
