*****
The world knows Rabbi Adin Even-Israel (Steinsaltz) as a towering Torah scholar. The Lubavitch community, however, was also privy to another endearing trait of personality: The straight talking, straight shooting, say-it-as-it-is analyst.
At this memorable Farbrengen of Chasidim on 9 Shevat, 5750 - 1990, Rabbi Even-Israel (Steinsaltz) took the students at 770 to task for not approaching their studies and their work with the urgency expected of a young Chasid.

This man is like Har Sinai. A mountain of Torah with utmost humility.

A Jewish friend (I’m Catholic) directed me for reasons that had nothing to do with what was being said, but rather to hear Yiddish spoken at length as opposed to the oft spoken “phrases.” The subtitles were a bonus and I quickly forgot about the Yiddish and was drawn in by what was being said. Wow, a deceptively potent communicator! Peppered with quick “asides” he never loses the message. With all due respect to the importance of his message to his fellow Jews, I found it to be a lesson in public speaking when the message is basically a public spanking.

I also enjoyed the Yiddish 'though I am afraid the subtitles appear to be a little out of time with what's being said

My heart aches ... A man from the Land of Israel speaks in the language of exile to an audience of exiles (Google Translate for another kind of exiled)
