"We Gedoilei Yisrael" Can Stop this Sickness .... Tchakove Rebbe to the Late Rav Solveitchik Who Succumbed to the Virus


This exchange took place when Rav Soloveitchik went to be menacheim avil the Tchakover Rebbe who was sitting shiva for his wife...

Tchakove Rebbe : "I am asking... Maybe ... We the Gedoilie Hador can cancel this sickness" 

Reb Dovid Soloveitchik: "What??"

Tchakove Rebbe : (repeats) "Maybe ... We the Gedoilie Hador can cancel this sickness , may G-d save us from that?"

Reb Dovid Soloveitchik:  "I can't .......but maybe you can.. you are a rebbe."

(laughter from those sitting nearby)

Reb Dovid Soloveitchik:  "Litvishe can't do anything ... only rebbes ..Litvishe aren't worth anything.."

(laughter from those sitting nearby)


Reb Dovid Soloveitchik:" I saw "gedoiie hador" you (gestering to the Tchakover rebbe) also saw Gedoilei Hador"

Tchakove Rebbe :"I saw Gedoilei Hador and I know Gedoilei Hador"


Reb Dovid Soloveitchik teasing : "Maybe a Bais Din or the Eida Ha'Chreidis ...they are gedoilei hador"


Tchakove Rebbe : "But you have the power."..

Reb Dovid Soloveitchik: "Not me .......maybe you"

Tchakove Rebbe : "without humility..don't practice humility now "

Hey yukel, this video was just released a week ago .. so they may very well be talking about Cancer but it can apply to the virus as well. More videos are coming out that feature Rav Soloveitchik, who had a great sense of humor

Cute that the Rebbe modestly said "We the Gedolei Hador" Which of the Tchakover Rebbes is this?
