Rebbe’s Question in Yechidus Answered After 47 Years

During a Shiur Halacha L’iyun on yesterday’s Rambam, Rabbi Moshe Weiss, Shliach in Sherman Oaks CA, answered a question the Rebbe posed to him during his Bar Mitzvah Yechidus.

During a Shiur Halacha L’iyun on yesterday’s Rambam, Rabbi Moshe Weiss, Shliach in Sherman Oaks CA, answered a question the Rebbe posed to him during his Bar Mitzvah Yechidus.

“My father and I came to the Rebbe for Yud Shevat 5733 to have a Yechidus in honor of my upcoming Bar Mitzvah”, Rabbi Weiss said. “I remember being told beforehand that during the Yechidus, the Rebbe would test me, but I figured he would focus on the Maamar so I worked hard to memorize that.”

“In the end, the Rebbe wanted to hear the Pilpul in nigleh that I had prepared. I launched into it, quoting the Gemara in Menachos which derives from the possuk “מימים ימימה” that Tefillin are not put on at night.

“The Rebbe asked: ‘those Pesukim are discussing Pesach, why is it that we learn a Halacha about Tefillin from there?’ I was stumped, and the Rebbe moved on to other things. But I never forgot the question, and I knew the day would come when I would have the answer,” he said.
