UNDERSTANDING THE YOM TOV THAT LIES IN TU B'AV - Shiur by Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

Today before going into the reasons why it's a yam it's important to note we dak already the says you do not say today and adds on not only the day of you don't say but you actually don't say the before in sim giml speaking about the days of fast and the days that you don't fast the mission brings in cotton z that that's going to be getting married tonight does not fast however however between ashri you do say he's a mock people made a mistake that you don't even say lamn but it's a If you don't say why don't you say today we know that we just passed we understand what's the soy says the is the it's a the in the fourth days the the Mishna says is in other words the Mishna says that two today is a Yamiff it's a YT and being that's a Y you don't say Y what exactly is the Y today that the Mishna says yum There was no Y like the Y of So the Gmorra gives six reasons. We're not going to go through all the six reasons. About half of them will go through. The first reason the gamarra says the garra says you know why is the day meaning to say if there were only girls they father if they're going to marry out of their the is going to go out from them it's going to go out into a different so at on these girls that yash and fathers the they were allowed to marry to a different And so the garra says first reason and the brings my daughter they were only daughters the father and if they would would have married out of the the would go to a different shvit and now it became mut Like Rashi says the came on the asks what does it mean the came on tub that's when the heater came if anything the was if you take a look at the druss is that only this d was not allowed to marry into a different shvet so the came now if anything the opposite it was always mutter and there's only is for this d so what does doesn't mean the hatter came. So he says you find other things that let's say added different things that were added and was he agreed to it. The same thing over here also really it was throughout. It's true with the Russia. It sounds that it was only user that but really it was always and they were then that it was only that. How do you understand that it's a Yamiff? What what's the understanding of the Yamiff that they were able to marry into another shave it? So explains and he says the following in the Gillis in the Gillis Tus we find the Gmor and Shabas brings it to we made the we made it as a Yah it's a Y with what is it a Y there's no allowed to work in what is the YT is meaning to say explains What makes it into a Yam? Yam means a good day, a day that is connected to. What is have to do with? So he brings a few. So is connected to we say every day in it's so that we understand it's [Music] with that he explains the garra says with what is called the yamt is a yamt and even yamipper the garra doesn't say yam kipper is a yamt Because why not? That's also a Yam. But cuz the Mishna says there was no like every is also. So what is the Yam? The Gmorrah says you know why is a Y? First of all, it's a we have so it's good and which also also is that we understand is a day of but the Garra says why is what's the so that the ter is that they were able to these girls were able to go and get married to a different So that's why it's a very interesting that's how he explains says what is saying what does that mean? It's a y because they were able to get married into otherw they were able to the girls that got they got from from their parents and if they would marry a different the would move over they're allowed to marry a different Even in that time any daughter could get married to another she or it was just after those ones. It was just the ones that the she would go over, right? The Arushia would go over. They were not allowed at that door and then afterwards they were allowed to >> if if a girl had brothers in that time, she could have married. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Cuz then the Arushia would have gone to the to the sons and wouldn't change over to Nakla to a different The next reason that we're going to speak about which is reason number three in the gamarra the gamarra says the reason why it's a yam says the garu may say midbar meaning to say arashi explains the gabara rashi explains every year erhov a basal went out and said to all of the ones that from 20 to 60 and the and the draidb from the kagum that they should dig a grave, a caver, and they should go into the caver. And they went in and the next morning another basal said and the ones that are still alive should come out of that caver. And that happened for four years. Every year tishov, that's what happened. So then came tishov of the last year of the 40 years. They went in and the gazer stopped and everybody came out. So everybody came out. That's we're not done yet. What the reason of the y is even though this itself technically to be a y that they stopped now, but really they technically stopped on tishabove already, but we'll get to that in a minute. So what happened? Why is it should be on tish? The terrors is is they weren't sure when they came out of in the morning they thought could be they made a mistake. They're off with the calendar and it's really not tishov. So they went back in. Could you imagine? And they all came out again. U they went and they came out again till came to vav. Why didn't they think they're still making a mistake? Because they saw the moon was full. So it's for sure not tish up until it's full. It could be they're not sure exactly how full or not full once the moon was full at test in middle of the month. So they knew that it's for sure not anymore. And if they all stayed alive that's that's it's an unbelievable happiness is over. >> Right. >> But it's not the day that stops though. >> Good. And we'll we'll soon see that it's it's really not even this. It's really something else. But technically, you're right. If if technically it's when they Yeah, very good. Good point. Very good point. It's when they the brings from the from the shagasaria and he says how could it be? They made a mistake for so many days. They weren't sure. It's clear whenever the calendar what how could you make a mistake? What was the what was the you have a good point here saying that it's interesting that there was a mistake and it's only what they good so you're right the happiness is on when they test but how could have they made such a mistake how do you understand such a mistake so he explains that the made that should make such a mistake and the reason for that is because the Garina says And the Gomorrah explains actually what does it mean? The Gmorrah says the first was on and that we have infor. So the garra says and mdash the second also happened on many things bad things happened on because it's a actually doesn't say what's the yak says the zak is as we're going to see now of today's different reasons for what was a day of sim so the made that they should make a mistake and not be clear like you pointed out it's very interesting it's all because of the mistake but they should make a mistake and the happiness kicked in on tv because it's a day that many other happy things happened throughout the dus so really we could stop right here the happiness is taka that they they stop dying but the gmorrah continues and the gmorrah says right after this before going to the next reason the gammorrah says says that the day that this started the and every test they went in and they died there was a big ais there was a sadness there was says therefore says explains throughout the 40 years in the midbar The did not speak to Rabenu actually after the 40 years at the midbra they didn't die there was no talking of the now what does it mean there wasn't a there was no talking of course the reason is because He was at us because the clalius was in 40 years of dying. But what do you mean there was no talking? If you look after parl after the next parish spoke to what does it mean he didn't speak there was no there was no sobra is the same as the gar was saying now that it was only yes the spoke to but only the absolute necessary neessary anything else that was not necessary did not get any from the explains says yes that the spoke to moenu but not pale p in other words raenu was on the highest level that it was crystal clear the nas that he got from raenu in the 40 years of the nvas harashi explains by tinus it Laya was unclear was it wasn't clear says saying on himself he says a different shot and he says like this that when the spoke to as it says spoke from Rabenu's throat Which comes at something very powerful that when they heard saying over the actually they actually heard the speaking says for the 40 years in the midbar heard but it wasn't they got the messages from their but they didn't hear it So all this the bottom line is is that the 40 years in the midbar being that was dying and he was an aist he was an there was no direct talking to Israel and that stopped now and that's why it was a yam I it stopped test so Rashi says there was a mistake They they weren't sure and they waited till which he's not asking good you bothered that lisa the mistake and we saw over that the mistake was bada that it should fall out on testo actually has a different reason. How do you get to the of says that of is after the days of ais? In other words, they every year they died, but then there was a there was the days of ais the days of ais lasted till. >> Yeah. which I'm just thinking now as I'm saying it over to the it's interesting because really it says that that last year nobody died so I'm not sure why there was a shiva that year I'm not sure but says clearly that really they it was already test they could have been happy test but then there was the shiva to test which again it's interesting because if no one died there was no shiva rahan asks a different question asks like you pointed out very good shiva the whole shiva is only the so what are you telling me in the midbar the the of you know why the ais and the sadness continued till and that's why the only started speaking again to clal so after because of the shiva asks So they were the first day I mean but the sh's only [Music] interesting on this question if you take a look at the raam the raom in the beginning of the raam the ram speaks about what's the but like the says but it's only the first day continues the like we just said it's only it's not but the continues you know when it is Andu was so it wasn't a later time in the time of Shiva which is but the time of that would be in askon so what does it mean we're waiting till it's tabon but So that's why in the second the third reason but the second reason we're speaking about why it's because and the sadness and all stopped today and was again in the in the sense of speaking clearly to we were able to hear what the was tellingu [Music] Just to go back, we mentioned in the first reason why it's a yam. We said it's a just like we said. See here also he explains the reason why it's a yum what's the y of the pik says by raenu and the medish explains the so the medish says what's right opened up the box of what's so the med says was going to become the iss Where's it over there? In the second when he was born and they hid him and then they they opened up the box and they saw. So the med says what was the saw in him? They saw the ty this that he's going to be a novi. Another reason and this is the sixth reason. So for today's sh maybe ball lane or a different ta we'll say on the other three reasons but for now we're going to say three reasons. Another reason which is the final reason in the gammorra the gammorra says that today tub they stopped collecting cutting wood for the misbeh for the bdash. Why why did they stop today? So the Gomorrah explains and Rashi is a little bit more. The Gomorrah says that after tuba the sun starts getting it's not as hot and the reason for that is is because the days now are starting to get shorter right is moving earlier and earlier you know as a matter of fact we had some real hot days but now now it's it's nice weather somewhat cooling down but the garra says that the sun is not as powerful being so that it's not as powerful, it doesn't dry out the wood properly. And Harashi brings from the Mishna this peric bay that wood that had worms is poss. So when they cut down the wood, it needed to dry out into sense that no bugs are going to be there come there if it's damned the wood that attracts worms. So it had to be dried out. They were only able to dry out the wood up until tuba. So that's why so they stopped they stopped. So before going in what the yumpt is asks wait a second when does the sun start to get not as powerful asks really it's not dependent on our the Hebrew calendar just like when do we start saying that has to do with the with the rain so we don't start at a certain Hebrew date we start December 5th the so here also it should be the date what it say >> it gets shorter after the summer is also >> yeah yeah yeah yeah right that's when it gets shorter but not not too right what what when is it exactly it's something like maybe July 21st is the longest day at some point within this now we're in that kufa but it's not it's nothing to do with it has to do with the English date so why is it the day that they stopped cutting the that's and he bl says Vavusha Levy explains he doesn't ask this particular question but this will answer he answers this question he asks a different question the Mishna says any what does mean it's What are we talking about for the So he explains and he says like this really [Music] the their is the is the son andal is the lava. Now that which is really which is not a good for the but as a as a matter of fact today with the moon is full that's the so it's true asked wait a second that is not exactly but what we're celebrating over here is actually this that it's which is actually you're right with their with their with a calendar that's based off the sun. But at the same time for us, it's the mavana which is actually the kayak of. So that's the y. We're going to explain a little more about this also in a little bit. But this would be the y. This for itself is the y. The y is that it's we have the moon. Today it's a full moon. But let's go back even though we said now one reason why stopping to cut the wood is a yam because from the kadusha but let's go back the reason I brought it in now even though I'm going to be a little more mic about it soon because the kasha this answers going back to what the yamt is the explains that the yamt is you know what the yumpt whenever you finish a mitzvah. You make a sem and it says they were happy in I think it's says that to make a when you finish yeah I think we know this very well especially now coming off the nine days. But you make a mo say you make a says the goyan over there. What's the m that you make a what's the m of course you say and you make a suda what's the m says the the is our gmorra just like because we finished to finish the mitzvah says the anytime you finish it's the same idea because also we find the same thing also says that what's going to you make a suda and the brings also for every of a mitzvah or of a of a you make a suda so come to what was the sim is that they finish the mitzvah that's today was cutting the wood from his bed. That was a mix. >> Yes. [Music] Just to jump back to what I said from the kaduca. I wanted to really because the but we settled from the kaduca that today starting to is the leaves it's in its full stage as opposed to the is getting so even though the go their is from the it's getting in my he who's from Amsterdam he's the bel the this is he's their grandfather and he says the same idea year but he says even a little more he says that of is the of as the months of the year that's their and now also even though is their it comes now that the sun starts getting is the kaduca says a different piece kadusha says that a has two parts to it we know the beginning of it's sad but then comes after tishov these are transition spoke about it you know between I gave a separate discussion but says the kaducious ley where does where does the transition come about a is bur and up until it's still the sad days from today going forward is the happy days is the bor [Music] The Gomorrah's mom, the Gomorrah says after saying that we stopped cutting the wood because the sun is because the sun goes down earlier. The gamarra says, I think it's a pretty famous gamorrah [Music] means you put away the s to cut down the mle to cut down the tree. And then the garra says, in other words, the garra is saying that a person has to buckle down to learn more. What does it mean to learn more? Learn as much as you can learn. But being that it's starting to get dark, being that it's starting to get dark and you're not going to be able to kind of learn because it's dark. So a person, let's say, learns, he works to whatever time and then he learns. But now that it's dark, so he's not going to learn. So a person has to make sure even though it gets dark like the supposed to learn even by night. Now that so to speak, the winter is starting, the nights are getting longer. So don't not learn. You might not learn because it's dark. You have to continue to learn that says that this is the y the y is that because we stopped cutting the wood now we could learn more but before when the garra says m to learn more the gmorra is saying is that because it's starting to we just said now that the sun goes down earlier so it's dark so technically you would learn less. Make sure not to learn less. That's the position explains the y was that we have more time to learn. This concept that not to learn less because it gets because it gets dark earlier really is less relevant. Why is it less relevant? Because anyways people learn when it's dark when it's light you have electric you have steam you have heat there's nothing you have air conditioning has nothing to do with the light and the dark though in the match says that starting from now is 45 days to rush and just like it's that 45 days is a year in regard to ara the first three years is arla what's if you plant a tree 45 days before a shashana it's considered a year. Why is it considered a year? Because it takes 45 days to be to get attached into the ground. It takes 45 days for us to anchor ourselves to prepare for a shashana. Starting today is already a day to start preparing ourselves to connect more to he brings they bring over there that is from today ready to wish. So we spoke today three reasons out of the six why today is a yam. One isam to get married if they was only ladies and they got they can marry to otherwara says that they were the mitzvah of cutting the wood or and part of that was is that says to be able to learn more. Just to conclude the Gmorrah right afterwards the Gmorrah says is going to make a circle and the circle is going to be around explains explains the from Ager who is the grandson of says that he heard from his grandfather's grandfather and says this as well also what's the idea of to make a circle. So he says, you know, when people sit these VIP seats, you have closer seats to the front, then these further back, more expensive, cheaper seats. When there's a circle, an equ even circle, and then let's say these the middle, everybody is the same far from the middle. So they explain different have different avoid. But if everybody's goal is to connect to the it's all the same. It's all even gonna come. There's not going to be any a circle and everyone's going to sit even. Exactly. Any that meant to get closer to Hashem would be even to the middle to the to the circle. That's the gumar. That's it. Explain the garra. this piece extends to two and he sounds like this. First of all, what's going to be it's going to be why? Because if there's no there's no sinner, that's a yam. And he says that's the words to the letter and the what's the letter? The 15th letter is the is that is a circle. There's going to be no sin. Everybody's going to realize we're all working for the same close. That's going to be the ultimate that we should be. So we have now two but when the Gmorra concludes we want to be to be to this that there's going to be a we're all going to be in the hand of have a wonderful day.
