@IsaacMoses What do you think?

@IsaacMoses, I thought about doing that as it was uploading. Too much effort, which, to me, supports the point.

;-)

(That's habit not habit though I'm sure information about those could be interesting as well.)

@DoubleAA The Rebbe does not mention his own sleeping habits in the Sicha at all, he discusses the custom of his father-in-law (the Friediker Rebbe) and mention the practise and statements other Chabad Rebbeim

@Michoel Hence I wrote Rebbes' not Rebbe's to include various Lubavitcher Rebbes.

@DoubleAA Right, just wanted to clarify

@Michoel Thanks.

So he does state that his father-in-law did not sleep for 7 days straight?

@DoubleAA No, he does not say anything like that. In the third paragraph he writes: "We saw that he did not sleep in the Sukka (but rather in the house)"

@Michoel Ahh ok.

I'm just working with what mochin rechavim wrote in this answer:

> The Rebbe was able to fulfill both the Halacha and Kabbalah of Sleeping in the Sukkah by not sleeping the entire festival of Sukkos.

@DoubleAA I have never heard that claim before

@Michoel Hmmm

@DoubleAA Closest I could find is here that the Rebbe Rashab would not sleep on the first night of Sukkos and would stay in the Sukkah and learn

@DoubleAA BTW here is a translation of the Sicha to Loshon Kodesh

@Michoel Thanks.

If you (or someone) feel(s) up for it, consider rewording mochin's answer to be clearer about what is in the linked Sicha and what is his additional explanations.

@DoubleAA I have heard that, usually with the explanation being that he did not go to sleep, but would simple learn until he fell asleep. (cf. this anonymous internet comment) I filed it in the "I'll believe it when I hear it from a reputable source" department.

courtesy ping @Michoel

@DoubleAA Done. Let me know if you think that's clear enough

@IsaacMoses FYI -- more flattery in the form of imitation. :-) meta.hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/a/539/208

@MonicaCellio Nice. :) I'd quibble that I know what the Septuagint is, but I'm not familiar with the term "LXX." There were some interesting guest posts about *hapax legomenon*s (or however you pluralize that) on torahmusings.com in the past year.

@IsaacMoses I, too, was thrown off the first time I saw LXX, though I knew septuagint (if not necessarily how to spell it -- LXX is easier that way :-) ). Thanks for the torahmusings link (for later, at home).

@MonicaCellio Sorry; it's not much of a link. If you want the articles in question, you'll have to google for them. TorahMusings is the blog of our friend, R' Gil Student.

@IsaacMoses right, recognized the name, but will have to wait until I'm not on the corporate network.

@MonicaCellio In corporate America, the corporate network is on you!

@msh210 hehehe

@msh210 it sure is! And I wish it would get off; I'm almost out of ibuprofen. :-)

@MonicaCellio Is that your euphemistic expletive of choice?

@msh210 err, what? sorry, no euphemism involved; I asked my question when confronted with a blooming non-fruit tree, and remembered it when somebody asked today's question. No deeper meaning intended.

@MonicaCellio Just a joke.

@msh210 oh! yeah, not that. :-)

Sounds like a bunch of our questions would fit there.

Sounds like a lot pf Physics questions would fit there, too. And Linguistics, and....

Probably just a poorly-crafted site description: "ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad".
