type='text'>Bar-Mitzvah Teshurah</title><content type='html'>To celebrate the Bar-Mitzvah of my twin sons, Levi and Tzemach, I am delighted to share with you a teshurah that includes eleven letters from the Rebbe to Reb Volf Greenglass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the letters are being published here for the first time and others have had selections published in Igros Kodesh and other teshuros. Personal matters as well as certain names have been censored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May my sons grow up to be Chasidim, Yirei Shomayim, and Lamdonim, and in the zchus of Reb Volf who instilled in me a geshmak in kisvei kodesh may they develop a deep interest in all things connected with the Rebbe and Chassidus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Anyone who studied in Montreal will remember him coming into yeshiva the night before the Lag b&#39;omer parades to help prepare banners for the children to hold. He would draw beautiful letters in freehand and it was the only time you would see him in yeshiva without all his levushim.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One of his einiklach showed me some pictures he drew for them when they were kids, he seemed to like drawing pictures that included fish.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;He was once showing me some seforim in his house and he had drawn a really beautiful design in the inside cover that included his name.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a letter he once wrote to me he wrote a very elaborate b&#39;h, not dissimilar to the way the Rebbe Rashab would write it.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the early years in Montreal there was a young man who helped with the development of Merkos and collecting maamad etc. When he became a choson he wanted the Rebbe (before the nesius) to be mesader kiddushin but the Rebbe declined. Reb Volf was concerned that this person would feel hurt and it may affect his future involvement in askonus for Lubavitch so he called the Rebbe and tried to explain why it would be a good idea to be mesader kiddushin. The Rebbe responded:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
מיט הפחדות שרעק&#39;ן מיר נישט און מיט חניפות נעמען מיר נישט איין איך האב געזאגט איך קען נישט קומען&lt;br /&gt;

He had a repertoire of niggunim that are not usually sung anywhere else as well as original compositions of his own, the most famous of which was affectionately known as &#39;The Quebec&#39;er Nigun&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the farbrengen of Lag B&#39;omer 5711 the Rebbe motioned to Reb Volf and said to him &#39;Nu, du bist doch a baal menagen, zing a nigun.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was in yeshiva I would hear rumours that Reb Volf played the violin and in the olden days would actually play at farbrengens. I was curious so I decided to ask him about it. Since he was known to to try and keep things private I can&#39;t be sure that what he told me was the whole truth, however, this is what he said. For reasons he didn&#39;t wish to share he was advised to learn music as a form of therapy so he took lessons in the violin, the lessons lasted for about 7 months after which he gave it up as he felt he didn&#39;t have the time, he said that his teacher felt that he learnt in 7 months what others would take years to grasp (the only time I had ever felt he was bragging) but since then he has never played.&lt;br /&gt;

In truth, he was the inspiration behind this blog because he taught me the geshmak of a ksav yad and any inyan that is shayach to Rabboseinu Nesieinu. I haven&#39;t posted for a long time, but feel that now is the time to get back in the swing of things. There is so much to say about this great man and I hope over the next few weeks to share with you letters from the Rebbe to him as well as stories and experiences I had with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a first instalment here is a ksav yad of the Rebbe on the nusach hamatzeivah of Reb Volf&#39;s wife who passed away on 8 Teves 5742. My copy is not that clear but it says that in addition to writing &#39;Reb&#39; before Reb Volf&#39;s name it should say &#39;HaRav HaChosid Mashpia DeTomchei Tmimim HaTomim&#39; and on condition that the Chevra Kadisha agree.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I once mentioned this ksav to Reb Volf and in his typically humble way laughed back at me and said &#39;abi es zol shtayen oifen matzeivah&#39; in a tone that suggested that he thought nothing of it.&lt;br /&gt;
