Speaker: Rabbi Zvia Aryeh Rosenfeld z”l. Based on Avodah Zarah 10a-b.
00:00 – Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi (known as Rebbe or Rabbeinu HaKadosh) and the Roman Emperor Antoninus. The Gemara describes how Antoninus had a secret tunnel excavated between their houses so that he could visit and serve Rebbe.
03:16 – Why Rav Nasan of Nemirov z”l was succeeded by Reb Nachman Tulchin z”l.
04:13 – Antoninus asked Rebbe, “Will I be with you in Gan Eden?”
05:07 – The importance of attaching oneself to a tzaddik. How is this done on a practical level? One way is by following his advice. For example, Rebbe Nachman advises to do hisbodedus (pray in solitude) every day, in addition to the prayers with a minyan. By following this advice a person “binds” himself to Rebbe Nachman.
