Becoming the Generation That Brings Moshiach | Rabbi Avrohom Walkin | Tisha B'Av

Um it's a big to be here today not because of mikdash but to be able to hear such wonderful speakers but for me in particular to be in between Rabbi Pesak Cron and Rabbi Goldwaser is a a very big honor and we know that when Mosha Rabenu was fighting not him himself but when he was overseeing the war against Amalik it says that his hands became heavy and The pik tells us that ar and one stood on one side and the other stood on the other side and it lifted misha's hands to be able to that should have the right cavus. So they have these two giants um sandwiched you know I'm sandwiched in between them to speak um a lot of people spoke this tishov about um what it means you know to love but I want to divert a little bit into something very very powerful that I think is the avoid of tish above itself. Now obviously we should have sinnus we should have aava for today and all year round but what is the avoid what is the work that we must put in in the last the next few hours that we have left in case Msiah doesn't come what is our avoid for today what is the avoid for tish and what can we take with the avoid of tishov with us if mashiach does not come through the course of the year to help bring it you Mashiach is speedy in our days. So I want to start off there's two things I want to mention. I want to start off with a very very important of what tishov is the moral says he brings down. says like this says that day came back it was tishov and they cried and they cried you know all of cried pretty much told you cried on this day and This night including the day you cried a crying for no reason. I will cause you to cry for generations on this particular day. Now the moral says like this before I even go into the moral actually every yamt has a mitzvah. Every y has an object something that signifies what that y is. Rashana we know we take the shaifer kipper we have chuva we have sukis we have estrig so on and so on matzah on pes so moral asks what is the mitzvah on tishov and he says the mitzvah is crying the the goal of tish is that we should get to such a level that we cry that we cry for the mdash and he says like This he says that every Jew was created with a portion of Israel in his DNA in his DNA. He had a just like a cayenne uh he has yusha for his children. They their kohanim and royalty have it until hem takes it away. They have it in the lineage. Every Jew has a was born with in his system. That night when they cried, they cried out stroll out of their system. It left them and it was no more a kick of who they were as humans. Therefore, the moral says that the same way they cried it out, we are going to for generations have to cry it back in. We're going to have to cry it back in. And he and I don't know where I saw this but we know that when you ker a kali it says shabakasi the same heat that causes something to become not kosher you need the same heat to kasher that particular vessel. Therefore we need this we cried oil out of our system. We are going to need to cry it back in. And we know the levim, we know before we say from we say um that when the levim sat by the banks of the river going into gulas they said they said what they how can we sing this song of hashem but what did they say we also cried they were telling the abish that we cried what are they not 5 years old why we cried so if you cried there's bigger destruction going on no they were telling the Abisha. They cried Eric Israel back in. They cried it back in. But Hashem said, "Yes, you cried it back in." But not everyone cried at the same level. Not everyone felt the same cry that they're supposed to feel in order to cry it back in. So there's only a few hours left and I don't know how a person is going to get to it. It's not it's not my, you know, you know, you to decide how each individual gets it. But we need to understand that tears are the avoid of tishab. We need to understand that we need to cry in order to be able to to facilitate the opportunity for the ba mikdash to be built. Now we do know how the the power of tears what the power of tears does and it says even by yum kipper it says that a person can have all the gates for him closed gates of chuva gates of tila gates can be closed for a human being but the gates of baka the g gates of tears are never closed and the question is why how can it be that the gates of tila the gates of chuva can be closed for an individual or for a nation but the gates of tears are never closed. So the assid is when a person cries he becomes a different person. He is not the same person that he was before. He is not the same individual that the decree was on him. He's a different person now. And therefore any decree that was on that person can can be taken away because he became a different human being. We need to understand the power of our tears. We need to understand that we cry, we cry, we cry for the mikdash. But there has to be tears for the mdash. There have to be tears of yearning. And when a person does cry, the ato will be able to see those tears and actually bring back into every single Jew his portion of his portion of of the basikdash and therefore automatically it will it will come. But there's another very very important and I think this is the we need to take with us not just for today but for the rest of our lives. We know there's two concepts when it comes to yearning for Msiah. There's a concept called that we wait for Mashiach and then there's a concept called cisa lehua that we anticipate. What is the difference between and cisa? What is the difference between waiting and anticipating? Now we do know there's Gomorrah Shabas Lammed Alfred Alf that says that after 120 years they're going to ask a human being four questions about how he did dealt in business but one of the questions they're going to ask him is tisa le Yeshua did you anticipate the final redemption did you anticipate it now why don't they ask tisa lehua we know there's a term like that what is it tisa different that they'll ask it after 120 when person leaves the world and the difference between and waiting. So in theory is obviously a very very powerful thing. You wait for Msiah. It's important to wait for Mashiach every single day. We wait every single day for um for the Yeshua for Msiah to come. But see takes on a new element. What is this element? So I was I was to be in a st last week. I like to go twice a year, three times a year. Literally just people ask why are you going? I said why am I going? You have a sim. No, I don't. I'm going because I want to get spiritual injections that gives me personally. I love being in Eric because I take it and I bring it back with me because I have to come back and do the avoid that I do. But it lasts with me for a little while. Could last a month, two months, depends on the on the you know what I put in when I was there. But I remember when I came back, it was on a Tuesday. I came back last Tuesday and I was getting into my car. I just got off the plane. I'm getting into my car and I'm on my way to Kazak. I'm on my way here to work with the public school kids. And from across the street, I see a bunch of little kids sitting at the corner selling lemonade. They're selling lemonade. And I see they're some of them are bored, some of them are excited, some of them are playing with this, playing with that. They seem to be a little bit, you know, not involved in the selling because not every second someone's going around, you know, buying or passing by. And I see these kids from across the street. One of them eyes me. One of the I know them. They're neighbors. Now, I always go over to them when they're selling lemonade. And they do this constantly, you know, the money goes to Stucka. The mothers and fathers obviously are able to keep them busy in the you know, in the mornings. They didn't go to camp for whatever reason. And one of them sees me and he starts getting excited and he jumps up and down and I see this from the corner of my eye. I was planning on going over to them anyway, but I see one of them and from the corner of his eye he sees me and he starts jumping and he tells everyone and I hear it, it's Rabbi Walkin. It's Rabbi Walkin. It's Rabbi Walkin. Now they're not excited to see me because I came back from scroll. They're not excited to see me because I of the any Torah that I've given them. They're excited to see me because every time I see them, I go over there and I give them5, $10, whatever it is, and I always give them gushers. I give them some candy called Gushers and they love it. And you have to see the excitement when I give it to them. They almost trip and spill the entire lemonade just to get to this candy. So, I went over to them from across the street. I looked at them and I said, "Give me a minute. Give me a minute." And I go into my house to get it. And I saw as I'm walking down, they're jumping and they're excited. A minute ago, they weren't so excited. And all of a sudden, you should see the excitement. And I cross the street and I give them $10 and I give them the gushers and they were so excited. Made a bra with them. It's not the point. When I'm driving here to Kazak, it hits me a tremendous yod. They're sitting there selling lemonade, doing what their parents told them to do, doing whatever it is that they're doing that day. But when they saw me and they knew that they were getting the candy rush that they wanted to get, the anticipation, the excitement of waiting till I came out of my house, they were jumping. They were excited. I said, "If only we as adults were yearning and anticipating Messiah in the same way." We need to understand that we need to yearn for Msiah. The difference between anda is like this means you wait for Msiah. He comes, he doesn't come. He comes today. He comes tomorrow. I'm waiting. You wait for something. You don't know when it's going to come. Means you're yearning. You're yearning. You desire. You look forward. You know he's coming any moment. And you sit by that window almost like a kid sitting by a window waiting for his father or mother to come home with whatever gifts, whatever toy or whatever game that his parents are bringing him. He keeps looking at every car that passes. He looks at every time he looks when his parents walk out. Are they holding the bag? I know from my own youth um they're holding the bag. And you know that's what excitement means. That's what yearning for Mashiach. Do we really yearn for Msiah? Now, how does a person show that he's yearning for Msiah? So, I looked into it. I asked people what do they do? What a tremendous foundation that we need to incorporate in our lives. If Mashiah doesn't come today, still tomorrow that we need to putting it into our daily living is actually how would we react if we knew that Mashiach was coming in let's say three four days from now. she is coming in 3 4 days, a week, whatever it is. How would you go about arranging your business? How would you go about maybe I don't want to say minimizing what you put into your house, how much furniture, how much upgrade. I'm not here to judge on anyone's level what they should be doing or not doing. But when you really believe Messiah is coming, if you really yearn for Messiah to come and you anticipate he's coming at any moment, how would your daily life be different? And that shows Hashem, that shows Hashem that we're truly yearning. That shows Hashem that we truly believe that at any moment Messiah would come. Now, I don't say nobody here yearns. And I don't say nobody here doesn't you know doesn't anticipate but we need to do some physical things into and incorporate them into our daily lives that constantly remind us oh yes Msiah is coming so this and this is going to change in what I do daily. I didn't say a ban should make a complete mahaba a complete upside down you know change in his lifestyle but he's got to put elements in that show that he's yearning to show that he cares and to show that he's looking forward to the coming of Mashiach and I want to just mention that I saw yesterday actually something very beautiful it says that the alchem brings it down the rais brings it down that what that yeavinu asked the abasha during the bas mikdash. He came up and he asked he asked Hashem will the children of Israel ever return. Will we ever return? Now the question is why and not a and yakovitzk as we know is dinitzk we know is judgment. So the destruction of the temple took place because of judgment. It took place because of Kurban. So therefore, Yitzuk asked Abishto, "Will the Jewish people, will my children, will your children ever return?" So, Hashem answered him like this. Hashem said like this to him. He said, "There is a generation that waits for my royalty, for my kingship. [Music] That generation I will redeem right away." the generation that shows that they really yearn for me I will come and the says in his peace Yeshua he says let's be honest he says there were there were sadikim from generations past that did not merit to see Msiah they didn't merit it so why should we be the ones that merit msiach why should we have that and I'll be honest you I've thought about it many times I thought about it I said ah come on didn't come into this time didn't come in's time. It didn't come in the time. Why would it come in our generation? So he says this he says that the you don't have to be the god. You don't have to be the greatest in mid that's very very important but the generation that yearns for msiach they will merit for me to come. That means any lay man any individual any human being can yearn msiach. You don't need to have gone to the greatest yeshivas of the world. You have to understand what Mashiah is. I hear that. You have to understand the loss. You have to understand what we don't have. But every human being, no matter what level he's on, can merit Mashiach to come if he yearns for it. So every human being can yearn. Yearning is something that's an emotion. It's something that's a feeling. It's something you don't need to go to college for. You don't need to go to Harvard. It's something that every human being has the capability if he allows himself to understand what he lost. So I just wanted I know revers is going to be speaking any minute and it's a big he was very close actually if I'm allowed to say that of my brother. So every time he he comes to speak I come many many places just to hear him speak. So I'm here but I'm here also to hear Rabbi Goldwa. But I want to tell you that we need we need to show the abisha that we really miss it. We really miss it. I hate to say it, tomorrow. Beautiful. Let's go back to our normal lives. I hear it. I hear it. Listen, we had three weeks of of sadness, three weeks of, you know, yearning to a certain degree. But we can't forget about that. We need to bring Mashiach not for next tishab immediately. Just because he doesn't come on tishab doesn't mean he can't come the next day. Maybe that we put in by sitting here, by listening, by working on ourselves, he might come tomorrow. I don't know when he's coming. But you need to at least yearn for the see peace of Yeshua. And I want to end with with it's not a it's a ka and kina. Hey, I don't know this but I know in the Ashkanazi we said this. We ask the when will the end of have mercy on we should all yearn. We should all anticipate. we should all desire and therefore if we have the proper yearning we will be z to build and bring the msiah and build a base and mdash.
