The Rebbe is in touch with Shomayim
Once more, miracles happen when the Rebbe is around. The Rebbe was sitting in his Sikka, thinking holy and lofty thoughts of how the Sikka can elevate us to the Third Bais Hamikdosh, when the Rebbe felt that it would be time to close the Sikka, to preserve the pristine holiness of the Sikka. He instructed his Shammis to close the Sukka and the SECOND the top was completely down, it started to rain.

The potato kugel that saved a marriage
the Rebbe has once again shown his greatness in his undercover and modest ways.
This past Shabbos the Rebbe went to a kiddush to show that he will walk for someone else's Simcha. At the Kiddush he met someone who considers the Rebbe, ( in his undercover guise) as one of his Chaverim. The Rebbe asked him ( we shall call him Chashuva Mentch) to wait a minute to walk with the Rebbe back home, since they were going the same direction. After the Rebbe said mazal Tov, and was Mekadesh the oilam by making a brocho and having a piece of Kugel, he went upstairs to get his coat. While there, someone said that the Chashuva Mentch the Rebbe had asked to wait was looking for him, because he was ready to go, and he say this same Chashuva Mentch's family upstairs, also getting their coats. The Rebbe asked the Mishpucho if the Mentch had left yet, and they indicated that he better not have, since the Mishpucho was still there. The Rebbe then went downstairs and saw the Chashuva Mentch was still waiting for him.
The Rebbe then told the Mentch that his Mishpucho was there, and the Mentch thanked the Rebbe, becasue he wasn't aware that they had walked, and would have gone home without them, much to the extreme annoyance of the Mishpuco.
So the upshot is because of the heilige Rebbe having a piece of kugel to enhance the joy of the baal Simcha, a marriage was saved!
An amazing man, doing amazing things, undercover.
Here is the short version, a longer version will probably be included in the Rebbe's Sefer about his travels in exile.

The Rebbe changes a tire and meets another Rebbe
Recently, the Rebbe was driving his undercover vehicle so that no one should know he is a heilige Yid. As he was going on the Palisades Parkway, he saw a vehicle stuck on the side of the road. Thinking there might be a medical emergency there, he stopped.
When he went to as the people in the vehicle if there was anyone hurt, the response was, "no not us, its our van." The Rebbe saw that the back tire was off, and the van was jacked up, but the driver apparently ran out of the strength to jack the van up high enough to get the new wheel on.
So the Rebbe went back to his Rebbemobile, and took out the X bar lug wrench that he carries. he went back to the minivan and started to finish the job. As he worked, he asked who everyone was. The driver informed him that he was driving a Rebbe (whose name The Rebbe did not catch), one who had a big sheel in Monsey. The other passenger was his Shammis. ( I was hiding in the back of the Rebbemobile, so as not to give away the greatness of the Rebbe.)
When he finished, he went about his business, without revealing himself, but earning the gratitude of another member of the Rebbeshe group.

THE REBBE IN GOLUS
The Rebbe has decided to go undercover into exile, like other great Rebbes have done in the past, in order to feel what his chassidim are going through without the veneer of respect and awe that is afforded the Rebbe due to his greatness and his position as a Rebbe. In the comiong posts, we shall track the Rebbe's movements, and shall recount the Meiselach that happen to him, show his greatness, and allow for lessons to be learned, as the Rebbe also continues on his life long journey to be the most eirliche yid he can be, and grow in compassion for his fellow man and chassidim.

THIS IN FROM PROFESSOR GUSTAV
I come from Europe, to be precise Germany
here for my stop on my journey
visiting with the Levi’s Seder night
A night different that all other nights
We ask four kashous, drink the Kousous
Say the Hagada, Enjoy Shulchan Ouruch
Sing the Niggunim like every year
with the ones we all hold dear
(CHORUS)
Drink a Kous of wine and lean to the left
Drink a Kous of wine and lean to the left
Drink 2 more cups of wine and lean to the left
with Gustav the Professor
By popular request no mention of departed ones
But today we said a Brocho on the Sun
makes you think of life forward and past
twenty eight years goes by so fast
So we should all be Zouche to do it again
in the year Two Thousand Thirty Seven
In Yerushalayim with Moshiach Tzidkeinu
Bemeheiro Biyomeinu
CHORUS
Professor Gustav, he’s our favorite Yekke
Even if he wears a Kapote
Professor Gustav, he’s our favorite Yekke
Even if he wears a Kapote
here for my stop on my journey
visiting with the Levi’s Seder night
A night different that all other nights

Say the Hagada, Enjoy Shulchan Ouruch
Sing the Niggunim like every year

A pesach thought from the Rebbe
As we approach Rosh Chodesh Nissan, having finished with the four parshios that herald the season, it is time to really focus on the upcoming Holiday of Pesach.
Pesach is the time of year when we cleanse our houses of all Chometz, essentially starting fresh. It is no surprise that this coincides with Spring, which is a time of renewal and rebirth of the land. Everything is fresh, clean and new.
The more mystical connotations of the holiday has been expressed that one should use the opportunity to clean out the "Chometz" of the soul, i.e. to use this time for introspection and see which middos need to be corrected, such as pride, anger and jealousy, to name a few, and work on them, do some "spring cleaning" and sweep them out of our souls.
An obvious question here is, wouldn't this be more appropriate during the High Holiday season? When everyone is focused on their actions of the past year, and is looking to improve?
I think the answer can be found in the Halacha of Parshas Zochor and leap years. We know that one must remember Amalek annually, because otherwise one forgets. So what should we do in a leap year, when it is 13 months between readings of Parshas Zochor? One answer that is given is that one should have Kavana when Hazkoras Amalek
is read during the year, in Parshas Ki Tetze (or even Beshalach). This way the reminder is heard within a year.
We can extrapolate this P'shat to the fact that we should work on ourselves at the halfway point of the year, Pesachtime. It has been a half of a year since the focused attention on our deeds and actions during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, and we can use the "tune up" to re-assess and re-evaluate where we are going spiritually. We don't only have to do so once a year during Elul and Tishre. By doing it now, and remembering that Ben Odom L'Chaveiro was what was missing from the Talmidim of Rabbi Akiva, which lead to their deaths, we can elevate ourselves to a level that hopefully can continue for the rest of the year, all the way into Elul.
It is also a good time to focus on Middos, as we will be spending alot of time with family and friends, and would not wish to insult or offend people by being callous to one another.
The Rebbe wishes everyone a Chag Kosher V'Sameach.

De Rebbe's Niggun, 2009
When I was a boy back in Depentzde

People, get with the program!!
Its almost Purim, and the Rebbe is very busy getting ready to greet his throngs of Chassidim that always choose to visit and call on the mystically holiest day of the year.
However, as it is my position that I must look out for this most humble man and Tzaddik, it saddens me to see that he has NO FOLLOWERS!!! in Blogland.
Now the Rebbe took time out from his very hectic schedule so that he could allow this access to him through the internet, in effect being Mekadesh the entire internet with his presence, and NO ONE HAS BOTHERED to make his words, thoughts, Divrei Torah and Brocho a regular part of their lives!!
I think it is terrible, but I am most worried that the Rebbe will have Chalishas Hadas over this. So make sure that you click on as a follower, so the Rebbe should not feel bad that his message is not getting to his Chassidim timely on this coming day of the year where we are to feel great joy and happiness.
Thank you for listening.

De Rebbe is in the house
The response to the Rebbe posting the blog has been feverish among the chassidim, and the Rebbe feels a new song coming on, which should just put the chassidim into and absolute frenzy. Stay tuned ( literally) for details of this annual delight for all the loyal chassidim.
The Rebbe will also be holding special hours for the Bakushes that have been flying in, so that he can spend individual time with his chassidim, ( and hit them up for donations to the new sheil)
As usual, stay tuned, and keep warm.

Depentzde Forever
Welcome to the blog of the Depentzde Chassidus. Check here for notes and sighting from the Rebbe, as well as the full history and, if the blogmaster can figure it out, audio and video clips, as well as HaModia like photos ( but with all faces blurred out, to protect the innocent.)
