Yat Kislev b'nusach Boro Park
7:30 PM, Shabbos Night. Tzemach Atlas is feasting on Chinese noodle croutons red cabbage salad with sweet and sourer sauce chicken.
Simon Jacobson: the Rebbe was an academic, a scientist, he was not a natural administrator. His accomplishments in reviving the movement and the Jews after the blows of Holocaust, etc. are remarkable, miraculous achievements.
4:00 PB Tzemach Atlas in 770 talking to S. J.: You know I turned on my radioactivity detection devise this morning in 770. The energy level is still very high. I don�t remember such a crowd even on Tishrei in the old days. You might be right the energy is strong and sustained 10 years later, a miracle.
S.J.: You see the two Chasidim over there with the children. Look at the kids. Can you see it? I am so "nispoel" with these two, they are BTs and they are so very good with the children.
T.A.: The one who is taller is the father of Malkie Schwartz?
S.J.: Yes.
8:30 PM. Mozey Shabbos, TA is in the Vizhnizer Yeshiva Hall in Boro Park for the Yat Kislev Melave Malka, shocked by the number of Chasidim in attendance. Warm chalas, hot kugels and baked white fish are served.
T.A.: Disoriented, what is happening?
Y.S: This is not the Boro Park you remember.
T. A. In my days Reb Yoel had a class in the Simpson Shule with 10 Jews in attendance and the smell of the forbidden fruit in the air. He is now speaking to over a thousand Hasidim. Did I miss the perestroika?
Y.S. After the Rebbe died the other Chasidim are no longer threatened by Lubavitch.
Alter Vitebsker: This event is so popular because Chasidim felt a need to band together when Lubavitchers were attacked by Misnagdim, etc. They came together in the time of need for the Chasidic brothers.
H.T.: Both are probably true. Don�t forget that this is Chabad on Boro Park terms.
T.A.: Look around you; one can continue a Jewish nation from here. These jews are self contained from the world Jewry. The rest of the Jews can assimilate tomorrow, the BTs are of no statistical consequence, the other Jews can all dissolve and here they will continue the miracle of the nation that perseveres.
Alter Vitebsker: Every Jewish soul is precious to G-d like his only child.
T.A.: The crowded 770 is this is the result of the natural growth. Humans yearn for a group identity. The power of wearing a uniform and belonging is often overlooked; this power trumps meaning and at the end of the day meaning is elusive. Who cares that the speeches lack meaning tonight. The power of this crowd hits your stomach like a jet falling into the sudden turbulence. During the waves of assimilation only the stubborn carried the flag and became know as Jews when others fallen off. Look around, in the future many of them will assimilated when circumstance change but they will give birth to the stubborn few amongst them, the future Jews.
