You must sell the books

HH
Last week by the holy tomb, two rows behind me sat CK of the BRI, and directly behind me and in front of CK sat a fellow who was reading Yisroel Saba from the Hebrew (page 149-150) where Saba says how people can sell the Petek, and everyone will buy it, and people can make a livelihood from this, and they can even make a copyright so that only they can sell it, and how they should translate the Petek into English and French etc.. So I went over to him and I made a big commotion over this how this shows that one must sell the books and not give them out for free, and how errant I was all these years for giving them out for free and I must repent etc. etc., and then I said but maybe this is only the opinion of Saba, but there might be rabbis in Breslov that disagree  - we must ask around what other people believe etc. etc. - it was pretty funny BH and even though I highly doubt he will change an iota, but maybe at the very least now for the rest of his life as he makes his money off of Rabbainu he will constantly be conscious of Saba and justify himself with Saba...

Also I told one of his fans to tell him about the Zaka clip of how a gentile in Texas whose house and belongings were all destroyed in the hurricane and flooding showed how his artscroll books escaped dry and unscathed, and if this is demonstrative of the merit of artscroll, certainly BRI which is like the Breslov artscroll has merit...

Trip to Saba for Chag Hapetek

HH

On the bus to Jerusalem, half way there, my comfortable empty neighboring seat was taken up by a soldier, I gave him a nice smile, but I was thinking "great" there goes that... Turns out that this Rosh Hashana Yinon made it to Uman and was privileged to hook up with Moshe Ofir and Sharon Knafo, and he was still in "oaroat" (lights.- on  a high..). He also showed me an app. moovit or something like that, might be helpful. Anyway he was very inspired and glad to learn that it was-is Chag Hapetek, and has renewed yearning to make it to Uman again for Rosh Hashana.

Then I was waiting by the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem for the 54 to take me to Har Hamenuchas, and I was Nanaching everyone, finally settling down to shmooze with a guy from the old city who remembered the last time we shmoozed six years ago, B"H.... He told me that he saw on the electric sign that the 54 was coming any minute, and we continued speaking for much longer, and he said that it wasn't showing anymore and I called egged and they told me that the bus was already long gone. Obviously this shmooze was more important, and I proceeded on foot (that was the last bus for the day), and Nanached everyone on the way, and some israeli bochurim. Finally right before the entrance to Jerusalem, I got two american bochurim (laufer and florence) from Ner Moshe, and gave them a full braiwashing session for maybe a half hour, all in the merit of being passed up by the 54. Then I Nanached everyone by the trampiade (where they hitch-tramp) and got a ride fairly quickly. Made it to Saba, had the holy tomb for myself for a few minutes (there was a guy manning the books on the road above) before a bunch of Nanach came. And Yaakov Sarusi from Petek Tikva drove me back to bus station, and I left him with a nice stash of Peteks and handful of the booklet Letter from Heaven in Hebrew.

BH today I hope to make it to R' Meir Bal Hanais - the place of the miracle of the receiving of the holy Petek.

Chag Hapetek

HH this past Friday 23 Tamuz we celebrated the day that Saba received the holy Petek, he received it at the beginning of the day - the night before. It is amazing to note that Saba originally was a karlin chusid, karlin professes that one of their admurs was the aspect of Mashgiach ben Yosef, and thus he was killed - on the 22nd of Tamuz. Immediately after this day passed Saba received the Petek of Redemption!

Chag HaPetek and the Ramak

HH today 23 Tamuz is the day that Saba received the holy Petek from Rabbainu. It is also the hilula of the Ramak. The Ramak was the chief Kabalist before the Arizal, and until his passing the Arizal was strictly behind the scenes. Hence with his passing the Arizals enormous revelations began to come out. Apparently today is mesugal for awesome revelations.
