as we continue the journey through David amela's Timeless Treasures and we begin with and in this Capital there's a beautiful beautiful Zion says I remember my song at night in livavi of in my heart I meditate and my spirit searches one night is referring to the madrases there are five very important nights classical nights that happen throughout the Jewish people's history the first night was the night of yutiya Switzerland the Jewish people redeemed from Italian the second night is the night that the army of sanghair was destroyed when Holly Israel miraculously defeated the two and a half million soldiers of Sanchez in his army the third night is the night when gidine was victorious in battle Heathen was a shut effect and he destroyed Midian in battle the fourth night is the one when sisra is destroyed and sisra and his army goes down before the Jewish people but there is a fifth night and the fifth night that is mentioned in the madrish is the night of tishabov and I don't understand it the other four nights each one is a miraculous Victory an incredible unforeseen Triumph Jewish people are victorious fifth night title tishomov is a knight of sadness of tragedy of Destruction how can that be remembered at eskiro foreign I remember that night and I searched for that night what's the meaning and the answer is that there's times in a person's life that are Knights of Tish above nights where there's tragedy but sometimes it is through those nights that the Jewish people are able to achieve their greatest triumphs sometimeska through the tragedy specifically through the sadness through the difficulty through the challenge we're able to rise higher than ever before it's a magnificent story with was one of the most beloved Torah leaders of our time and Rahman he lost a child it was a long and grueling illness and finally his son died well after Shiva the family tried their best to return to their normal routine threw himself back into his learning and tried to find nekama through that Comfort through that his wife however had a harder time and she was looking for something tangible to comfort her and so she hung up a beautiful picture a picture of her child and that magnificent picture she puts in her kitchen so that when she's preparing supper when she's preparing Shabbos she could remember she could look at her child and she would find comfort in the picture well she hung up the picture but the next morning she came and she looked and she saw that the picture fell okay she hung it up again and then the next day the picture was down once again right now she started to realize something's wrong and she realized that her husband was taking the picture down every single day and she couldn't understand it he was a prince of a person he had me this beyond beyond he was the most sensitive kind and caring individual an incredible husband why would he do this and finally [Music] she decided that she would let him have the benefit of the doubt and she would wait to see what happens and the next day the frame was back up but this time it was a new frame and there was something that was written on the bottom of the frame the frame was the same picture the picture of her beautiful son who had died but the bottom of the frame had apostle and on the bottom of the possuk said the bottom of the frame it said foreign because as long as he looked at that picture he admitted it was difficult there was so much pain there so much suffering he had to remind himself and now he would be able to look at the picture and at the same moment remind himself that his faith must never Waverly sometimes we go through a Tisch above a collective tissue above of the Jewish people or a personal Tish above when people face destruction and tragedy and sadness but through it all we need to hold on and we need to know that at those moments that's when our amuna can be strongest that's when as Kira nigging we move on to the next possum the next capital and the next capitalism has a very long capital once again also of the Messiah he is the composer of this capital and we say in this Capital apostle that many of us are very familiar with homicide there are 13 words in this possible and we say this in the beginning of my rib every single night we say it also on Monday and Thursday in middle of tahlung but this possible means as follows that Hashem is merciful he atones our sins will not destroy foreign are the 39 lashes and when a person receives malkus for anavera the people the person that's giving him the maoku should say these words this past look three times 39 lashes now think about it getting beaten and Hashem is merciful and he is not hurting us and he's not Awakening his anger sure feels like it so what does it mean that these are the sukim that are recited when a person receives Marcus additionally when a person receives Marcus mardus which is the rabbinic form of Marcus these 13 lashes are given for the 13 silken 13 words in the possum so again you see the same idea how could it be where do you find the in the punishment of malcus and the answer is that sometimes we see the kindness of Hashem through the punishment how could that be a punishment is really something that hurts very much where's the kindness because they'll tell us that malkus in the Torah is not called 39 lashes what is it called a person should be hit 40 times that's what the person said hazal went and they diminished the 40 to 39. Hashem does everything within his power to allow us not to be hurt not to be punished and feel the pain even sometimes minimizing that final lash you will not get that final punishment nevertheless we have to remember that even though it's very very difficult and we have to remember that even though it hurts very much Hashem is being Miracle as much as possible you know when you're uh when you're a kid and you misbehave maybe you've heard this I definitely heard this when I was a kid because every once in a while I would misfave uh maybe more often than every once in a while and sometimes I would get a punishment and a parent has a classical line you know after they give Apache right before they give a patch or whatever the consequence is a parent will say I want you to know this hurts me more than it hurts you now when you're a child you think to yourself really because I'm the one that's getting touched and you're the one patching seems to me that you know seems to me that I'm the one that's getting hurt more than you but when you grow up and you become a parent and you realize how much love a parent has for their child you realize that your parents of course were right and your parents when they had to punish you and they heard you crying in your pillow because whatever it was that you weren't able to go to whatever it is that you weren't able to do whatever consequence your parents gave you it did hurt them more and if only we would remember that every time somebody is suffering you know who's suffering worse Hashem is suffering worse Hashem is the one that kaviaco he's the one crying more than us until she above night when the Jewish people sit on the floor and cry it was Apostle that describes what Hashem does at that time in secret I am also crying I'm the one that's crying on the floor now we cry because there's no base you know what Hashem cries for Hashem cries that he had to punish us and therefore we must remember that even though it hurts and even though there's suffering and even though that sometimes we feel like we're the ones that are hurting the most we have to remember that Hashem is the one that hurts more than all of us and when we do know that and when we do appreciate that when we appreciate that as painful as it is in golus it's more painful for the it's more painful for a father to wash his child suffer than for the child to suffer himself at that moment collectively we'll be able to bring mashiach until next time zygous
