47:30 – NOTE: Story #1 – The Baal HaTanya. ***Story #2 – The Baal Shem Tov HaKodesh and Reb Yechiel Michel zal of Zlotchev – “Michel! ‘Bist a am haaretz?” Story #3 – Reb Mordechai of Lizhensk [? check this] zal – his rebbe didn’t permit him to leave.
52:30 – Shaking the Daled Minim hints to the world that HaShem Hu Elokim – Ain Ohd – HaShem is the Master of the World. There are things the Tzaddik can’t say – but he can hint. Only the Tzaddik’s closest students understand these hints and are the Tzaddik’s link to be able to bring his message to the world.
