Rabbi Zalman Posner Farbrengs With Tiferes Bachurim

It’s been 10 days since Yud-Shevat, when the expectations of the Rebbe and Previous Rebbe greatly dwell in the hearts of all Tomchei Bachurim. It’s been even longer since Gimmel-Tammuz but despite this we continue to serve Hashem and follow the Rebbe by farbrenging with elder chassidum and accomplish shluchim. Thus, you can imagine the excitement of Yeshiva Tiferes Bachurim, last night, Rabbi Zalman I. Posner, head shliach of Tennessee, visited for a farbrengen. He spoke in a stream of consciousness spanning memories of his father of the Rebbe Rashab and Itcher the Masmid to his personal encounters with the Rebbe and Rebbitzin.

An Inspiring Yud Shevat Farbrengen At YNS – Rabbi ‘O’s

The Farbrengen started off first with a beautifully prepared seuda followed by the Ma’amer niggun and then the Ma’amer of Bosi Legani was said by five Tmimim of the yeshiva. It was an unbelievable sight when each bochur began his part of the Ma’amer – with eyes closed, full of confidence and pride. Yasher koach to Hatomim Sholi Israel, Hatomim Levy Kamensky, Hatomim Shmueli Coleman, Hatomim Mendy Hahn and Hatomim Meir Roetter for a job well done!

The main points emphasized at the Farbrengen by Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Orimland, Mashpia Rabbi Levi Wilschanski and Maggid Shiur Rabbi Landesman were the Inyonim of Mesiras Nefesh by the Rebbeim which was given over to the Chassidim. Another point stressed was that in order to move forward in life we must let go of any bad experiences that one may have had in the past and once we release them we will be able to climb the ladder of life reaching heights that we never would dream of.

A 30 Year Old Story with a Stone

30 Years ago today, a Mitzvah Tank full with 13 Bochurim were on their way home from doing Mivtzoim in Manhattan, they crossed the Williamsburg Bridge and headed back to Crown Heights through Lee Avenue, when they reached Rodney Street. They were attacked my a large mob of Chassidishe Jews, their tires were slashed, and they were barred from making their way home, all the while getting yelled at and cursed, in the middle of which a massive stone came through the windshield of the Mitzvah Tank and landed very close to one of the Bochurim.

Then, after asking two Rabonim they were told that they need to Bentch Gomel, since they were in great danger. Ever since that a Farbrengen takes place on this day in R. Mordechai Nagel’s house.

The original article of the story was printed in the Algemainer Journal in Yiddish. You can see the article in the Extended Article, along with a rough translation, and pictures of the Farbrengen.
