here we
are 33 days counting the OM we started
the second night of
PES and we counted days and
weeks and the 33rd day of the Omar marks
the end of a morning period the Jews
been
mourning for these weeks because
of the great rabbis and Scholars who
died during this time and now like Bo is
a happy time they stop
dying what is the
significance
of losing great rabbis and great
Scholars and what's the happiness when
that stops we're able to enjoy the
company of Great Rivers and Scholars if
we remember our Torah
learning God wanted to destroy
sedom and Abraham said to him but if
there will be 50 sikim 40 and 10 the 30
and 20 and 10 if you know the story The
sikim
will save the
city why will sadik save the
city
because God has to give his input and
his influence and his
power for the world to exist once he
takes away that influence he takes away
his input into the world it's kadha the
world can canot exist if he takes away
from a city the city cannot
exist if there if people are wicked
hasem separates himself from the city it
can't exist without God nothing can
exist if there are sadik in the city
they have the power to bring Hashem
close because Hashem dwells amongst the
sadik amongst the righteous he connects
with them since God is the source of all
good and all influence and all uh
existence the sadik can bring God close
to that City and don't allow to be
destroyed so we can understand why it's
such a great time of mourning for the
Jewish people so many sadik great people
T Scholars died that means God's
connection to the world was minimized
because they're not in the world anymore
not connecting with him not bring him
down to this world now that they stopped
dying and now were able to enjoy the
remaining sikim and feel their influence
and see how important they are this is a
great joy for the Jewish people to have
a connection to God through the sadik
through the
scholars and represents the reconnection
of God to the world which is for us a
great joy because it brings all goodness
happiness blessings to have sikim who
connect to hem and connect us to hem
therefore it's a great joy of like for
the time for the uh beginning of sikim
to be able to use their influence bring
God closer and the whole world will be
happier blessed and closer to him so
it's a great time of joy for all the
Jewish people and God should help us
that we should all be well sadim should
be well and alive and we should enjoy
his presence and His
blessings all the best to all of
you have a
wonderful and a wonderful SP from
