-------------------------------------------------------------
{start ms. p32}

An Irishman once told me we're the only country in the worldthat never burnt Jews.  So I said, well, let them in. they're cute people.  
{AUTOBIOGRAPHIC NOTE:}
	Do you know that my cousin, he was the Chief Rabbi in,not Dublin, in Belfast, yea?  I was there twice, he invited,he was a good friend to me.  Each time I was there I wasmaybe 3 or 5 times a day on television.  
l2
{WE SHOULD TRY TO IDENTIFY AND GET THE TAPES OF SAME.}
L1
It was better than any other place I've been in.  It was sosweet, they want to know all about yidden, mamash sweet.{FN32q-sa}
	OK:  Now comes:  Why is it so important to be happy?  Idon't want to be happy, the fact that I don't like it, Ican't stand it.

{R. Shlomo bids au revoir to Rbtz. Emunah Witt:  Emunah yougoing, you have to go?  OK, I love you, see you tonight.}
l2
{I DON'T RECALL WHAT THE EVENT WAS EVENING OF 12/26/93,PROBABLY PRIVATE; CHECK WITH THE WITTS}
l1
So Reb Nachman says, this is mamish important to know:  Allthe sickness in the world -- 
{R. Shlomo: your rehensing??? brothers, l'chaim -- }
	You hear friends, all the sicknesses in the world arecoming from sadness.  OK, today, b'ruch haSHEM, the worldalready knows it.  
	{REFERENCE:} Yeah, I'm learning Lamed Chet, 186 onSimcha, just around a little bit _____
	This is typical of Reb Nachman himself:  You hearfriends, All the sicknesses in the world are coming fromsadness.  You know like for isntance, cause I don't want tosay anything, what do we know, right [but:]  Today the worldknows that most sickness is coming from stress, from sadness,from not being satisfied, from being empty.  All those heavythings. {FN32aq-sa}
	He says:  I don't care if you're happy because ofsoemthing stupid, you know.  
	Reb Nachaman says:  you sholdn't tell real coarse jokes,dirty jokes, but if someone is sad and you have
.p

{start ms. p33}

no other way of making them laugh but telling them thedirtiest jokes, don't stop, you know.  Because to makesomebody happy is such a big mitzva, right.  It's likebringing you back to life.  

	But then listen to this:  But to have the privilege ofbeing really happy, it's the hardest thing in the world. Don't kid yourself.  Someitmes you'll put on a cute littlesmile, your head's in front of the mirror, and then you'rehappy?!  It's a special privilege to be happy.  
	And you know:  It is so awsesome, it takes a greatprivilege to be a eilecher yid, to put on tefilin to put onthe tallis, but it still does not compare to the privilege ofhaving the awesome privilege to be filled with joy.  So youmamish have to earn it .  
	And he says:  You have to force yourself and you have towork on it, and it's so important you should put in your whole energy. 
	But he says the most, most important thing:  When youpray,  you mamish have to be happy _____ because, again, G-dcannot stand sadness.

	You know, wherever G-d is, it's filled with joy.  Andthe more joyous, the more G-d is there.  And the more it'ssad, G-d is not there.  
	When I walk into shul sometimes -- hate to say badthings you know [but:] -- I was once at a Bar Mitzva, a verygreat rabbi.   I took with me Mike Weber you know, withoutmentioning names.  No no he's cute.  So after the Bar Mitzva,he was driving me, I said Mike, how did you like it.  He saysyeah, there was no simcha.  The bar mitva was said, thefather was sad, the mother was sad, b'ruch haSHEM he was sadand he was also sad, just a little bit sad but enough to fitin the compnay.  Where's simcha, right.
	I think I told you, 
l2
{IT'S INPUT SOMEWHERE; RUN A PSearch in \BOOK* for 'BuenosAires'}
l1
I once I played at a 
.p
{start ms. p34}

very rich man's 25th anniversary in Buenos Aires, it's myfavorite quotation, and I see that at the table oats?? needssomething, thaere are two little kids of six they'remoshitz(?), they all talk yiddish there.  So one litttle girlsays to the other, "You know something," she says, "atBubbe's funeral there was more simcha."

	He says:  Whatever you do, do it b'simcha. 

	But then -- hat v'shalom this is heavy -- he says:  
	When you are so sad that you're going on G-d's nerves,so, so to speak, they take your name out from the phonebook,hat v'shalom, it means:  I can't talk talk to you. {FN34q-sa}
	And here I want you to know something else: 
	Everybody knows that G-d can only speak to you whenyou're filled with joy.  Otherwise you have no vessels.  
	You know: here Avram Avinu's holding the kinives[transcript sic, knives] to kill Yitzhak, right and there's avoice from heaven saying don't kill him right.  You  knowwhat all the Rebbes say:  Imagine Avraham Avinu couwld havebeen sad at that moment - he would have never heard the{HEBREW: Malon?} telling him don't kill him {HEBREW mas???ysros??} on?? right. {FN34aq-sa} 
It would have been the end of all of Israel. And you know howdeep this is, that sometimes at the saddest moment of ourlives, if you would have been happy at that moment you wouldhave heard the voice of heaven telling us what to do .  

	I want you to know someting awesome.  You know inGermany, you know the sadness, nt only the catastrophe, thekilling what the Germans did, they brought so much sadnessinto the world.  There was never a generation, besides allthe killing, sadness, right.  
	I want you to know something awesome.  I'm inHeidelberg, it's a long long 
.p
{start ms. p35}

long story and I'm walking on the street.  And there you knowa yid with a bear and peyes was not the ordinary thing.  So Inotice somebody ws driving on a bike to keep in line with meso I stop, I say in German, "Mei leiber Freinte, we gitzin"{transcript sic; but probably more like 'Mein leiber Freund,wie gehts Ihnen'} to break the ice, he wants to talk to me. I need to talk to one person.  For years I have this urge, Ihave to talk to somebody, please give me two minutes.  Hesays, I want you to know that my next-door neighbor duringthe Second World War was a Jew, he had 6 or 7 chidlren.  Hesays, I was a big man in the SS but secretly I was the headof the Commmunist party of this whole neighborhood here. [SeeAPPENDIX I -- sa] 
So I was like, he says, I got word the Jew and his childrenwill be shipped to Aushwitz two o'clock that night.  Andalthough I really endangeard my life because if someone seesme going into the Jew it's the end, I walked into his house10 o'clock at night and I said, don't ask any questions,don't take anything with you, take your wife and children andrun.  He says no, no, I know you mean well but -- you know inGerman there's this word [Wort, proverb] `it's never so hotas you think it should be when you're cooking'.  And he says,and it hurts me so much.  I wanted to save this whole familyand they didn't listen to me.  So I wanted to tell you 'causeyou're a Jew.  I want you to know that here's a goy, whowanted to save seven souls.

	Sweet, you know.  And I thought to myself, why did thishappen?  You know why, because there was so much sadness inthe world they couldn't move.  
l2
[Cf. Exodus: "for shortness of breath"; {FN35qb-sa}
l1

'Cause in order to move, you hve to be b'simcha, right.  Themore sad the more you're
.p
{start ms. p36}

dead.  I mean can you imagine someone says to you, there is apossibility that you and your children will be killedtonight, aren't you picking up and run?  And he knew he's anSS and a Communist, {FN36q-sa} he has inside information,right.  But the sadness was so heavy.  So he says, RebNachamn says.  Oy.
	OK, one more very important thing _____ most.
	Did we ever learn abour simcha, no, not so much.  Youknow everything even physically has a headquarters.  Chewingis my teeth, snoring, I don't know where, my nose, {FN3i6q2sa} thinking, my brains.   Where is the headquarters for joy? The headquarters for joy is not in your head.  A lot ofpeople, you know I saw this thing _____ me I should loseweight, but I saw someone on televison said, I loveexericising, I must have watched it for four hours every day. 
l2
[As-it-is-said (USA) `I love work; I can watch it for hours']
l1

You know what that means, he loves it in his head, but hedoesn't do anything.  The smae thing with simcha, you know, Ican have simcha in my head, I love people, I love watchingpeople who are b'simcha, oh what about you.  
	Reb Nachman says:  The headquarters for simcha is inyour heart. Cause it says, {HEBREW v'l'isri?? l'b'simcha}.  
	So how come we are not b'simcha.   Because we have aperverted heart.  People always think you have a pervertedmind.  This is only half the trouble, the real troublebegins, your heart is crooked. {FN38q-sa} 
	You know what means straight.  If I would keep my heartthe way G-d gave it to me I would be full of joy.  
	Thunder was only given to straighten out 
.p
{start ms. p37}

you heart.  
	So Reb Nachman says:  this is really, this is a realRebbe Nachamn torah: What is thunder.  Thunder is if I davenwith all my strength.  Yell out loud. Aye gevalt that means Ican't reduce a gevalt thunder and this thunder straightensout my heart.  But, he says, in order for the thunder to begood I have to empty myself from everything else.

Here I'm sad.  What should I do.  But he says:  If I wouldtake out 2 mintues and just remember how much sweetness andgoodness happened to me in my life for which I really neverthanked G-d properly, so right now is the best time.

{TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:  Turns to students to ask them to tiveover tora -- tey don't.}
Sammy you want to learn over a little Rebbe MENDEL __________ you know it.
Mimi you didn't say anything today.

{R. Shlomo's teaching resumes:}

	So the story is -- mamish a gvalt story.  The hasidimare on the way to REB ELIMELECH.  Poor shlepers, walking,pass by a broken house, a broken proch, there is a litle boyof 9 standing there dancing all by himself, so they ask him,why are you dancing.  He said, I'm dancing because I haven'teaten in 3 days.  You haven't eaten in 3 days, that's why youare dancing?  He says, I'll tell you.  I haven't eaten in 3days and I was really getting angry at G-d, I was saying toG-d I'm 9 years old how much sinning did I do to deserve notto eat for 3 days.   But then I was thinking:  it's true Ihaven't eaten in 3 days, but I have a father, I have amother, and everything I have, a house, broken, a house, Idecided mamish to thank G-d first, and began dancing.  So thehasidim saw, gvalt, a neshame.  So they asked him, are youlearning something?  He said, my parents are too poor to sendme to school.  Take, according to one version, they took himwith them in person to Rebbe Rebbe Elimelch.  He reallybecame the biggest Rebbe at that time.  Reb MORDELE ______

	And so one more thing and we go.
.p
{start ms. p39}

	Ah, this is the most important thing:  What do you dowhen you're sad?  He says:  And you have to turn over thesadness into joy.  
	You know, you turn over a plate, right.  Take mamish thesadness itself. OK, let's say I am sad.  Let's assume right. I assume, let's say I love this girl very much and she let medown right, I'm very sad. [But then I think to myself, gvalt,I must be someone that at least she started with me, right, gvalt, I could have been so ugly that she doesn't even lookat me;  then, you mean to say that, I have it in me that thisbeautiful girl should look me, gvalt, right,  maybe I'llforget her and start up with Elizabeht Taylor.  

	You know everything wrong which is happening, you turnonly into gvalt -- this is gvalt -- gives me strength fornext time. So whatever you do you turn over into  -- it's agvalt.  It's so good for me, this experiencae, right.  

	So Reb Nachamn says:  The rEal joy is not when you'rehappy; the real joy, the real simchA is when it says {HEBREW:vapachti mapgi laochl li???  } you take your sadness andstart dancing with it it.

Mimi Feigelson: ______

{R. Shlomo:}  Mimi you are saying toras from Reb Meir ofMemishlaka.  REB MEIR OF EMISHLAKA says:  Thank G-d becausethe end will be {HEBREW: mochel??} HE'll forgive us.  Youknow _____ means drunk.  Mochel means dance.  You say _____yes
{R. Shlomo:} Mimi, you're a Rebbe. {FN40qa-sa}
	You know it is so real. {FN40qb-sa}
Is there anything more charismatic than joy?  Is thereanything more drawing than joy.   Is there anything more inthe world that you just really don't want to have anything todo with this

person that's crying, kvetching all the time.  _____ You havecompassion.  but you really don't want to have anything to dowith that person.  Nah, please stop crying, I don't havestrength, time.

	Folks, good shabbos, good yontif.  Thank you for bearingwith me.
