The Tolner Rebbe of Jerusalem, Rabbi Yitzchok Menachem Weinberg, visited the Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad in Los Angeles, California, on Monday.
He was warmly greeted by “the Rosh” Yeshiva Rabbi Ezra Schochet, the staff and the bochurim and led around to visit the campus on Waring Avenue.
The Tolner, an expert in the Rebbe’s teachings and Chassidus Chabad, warned the bochurim about “wasting time.” He said in English, “if you won’t use your Rebbe to be careful with time, then shame on you because you are so close to the big light.”
He added that “being Chabad means one thing: to work, work and work” and that being a Chossid of the Lubavitcher Rebbe comes with a great responsibility.
The Tolner Rebbe’s visit was organized by Reb Zvi Ryzman, R’ Eli Ryzman and R’ Sidney Teichman.
COLlive.com presents an audio recording of the speech and we thank Rabbi Noach Fox for providing it.

was very uplifting.
The Tolna Rebbe studied in a Bnei akiva yeshiva in Yerushalayim and with the influence of his Zyde he became a Gerer Chosid very close to the Bais Yisroel,Lev Simcha and the Pnei Menachem. He is a gaon in nigle and Chassidus and can relate to people from all walks of life.A true adam gadol!
There’s a whole book in Hebrew (“Rucho b’Kirbeinu”, available in CH stores), of his speeches at Heichal Menachem in Bnai Brak, every Gimmel Tammuz as part of a Yom Iyyun.
Brilliant and inspirational! Mimenu yir’u..
All his behave towards Lubavich is because he is the (youngest) brother in law of Rebetzen Pnina Slonim and Moishe Slonim A”H.
And have the 2 children of Slonim that are Shluchim – Sara Blumenfeld Shlucha in Peru and Haim Slonim Shliach in Dijon, France.
It impresses them the dedication to Shlichus.
This Rebbe should come to speak in our Mosdos!
