Cracking the Code of Megillas Eicha

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay welcome everyone good morning this will be the penultimate shear before tish above and we're going to discuss today the format and the pattern with which echa was written echa is one of the ksuvim one of the five magillois and was written by hakodesh and we're going to study the format and the mold with which echa was yermia took another megillah by itunes he gave it to his scribe bachmann now this is in the aftermath of when yahayakiyam was served up the first version of the predictions of gloom and doom and he burnt it on the brazier and when they read to him yashva vadad she sits alas she sits in solitude so yayakim says who cares as long as i'm the king and then they read to him the pasak bakay sifka balila she weeps bitterly at night and yahyakum said who cares as long as i'm the king and then they said to him go so yehudah he says who cares now who cares until they got up to the pastor call yahoo so until they got up to the pulsar that the enemy would be the leaders of the city and the kings would go into exile and he was very disturbed and he burned echa where upon yermia took another megillah and he gave it to barak risoifer and they wrote it from yermia it's called divaya safar all the words of the book so they rewrote whatever yermia had previously written and they also added dvarim took another scroll vietnamese and he gave it to mark banaria and he wrote on in me or me ahu is called divreiha say for all the words of the book i share sarah yank what does it mean kahima it should say and they added all their things what's kahima matam of kahana umar is the equivalent of the three echas because we know parak allah of park bays and park dallas begin with the word echa and para gimmel aniage does not begin with icha however we know parak allah phase and dalit each consists of 20 tupsukim for each letter of the aleph phase but para gimmel consists of 66 sukim kaneget all three eichas this is what it means manners which are thrice peated in other words aniha there is thrice peated aniya has shalosh right three olives three bases three gimmos so let's try to study this we have five practicum in mcgill which is very interesting park aleph and bayes and dallas begin with why begin with gimbal does not begin with echa why not why does paraguimal have 66 okay why does park aleph base in dalat have 20 tupsukem parakee also has 22 sukkah but it's not in accordance with the allophase what's the meaning of all of this why now just uh we're going to change things up a little bit today we know that paragumo begins with the words she says you're mia aniha givers that's an amazing gamatryya of the stipler that the words of rashi are the gematria of the passage this is a frequent trick of the stipler where you have apos you have the comments of rashi and often the comments of rashi may be the gematria of the pasuk so actually the the stypler was asked whether you know people should work on gamatras he says no so they said what do you mean you wrote a whole safer you wrote a whole collection of gematrias in the back of the berkshires he says no these i didn't work on them they just came to me during kriya satora you know when you're the stifler these things just come to you but now we're going to study the format of um the format of icha the morale and the safer nets is the morale teaches us let me just see that the say there is and this and the morale says an amazing thing the three eichas were formulated for the first days of magdesh what's interesting is if you look in the german sanhedrin because they violated the 36 christos in the torah so echa is gematria 36. so the reason why we were stricken with eikha is because we violated all 36 krisays so the morale as a cop that we know the claudius only violated the 36 crisis by bayes rishi and the gemara says bias we shine was because of abu dhazarah gilo arayas and srikhas dhammim bought by ashani they were oyster then was only because of sinashinam and therefore bias shaini they didn't violate the krisos and therefore the perak that corresponds to bayasheni does not begin with what pera corresponds proc him connected by his resign well they violated three sins avoided zara gilead so for each one of these sins you have another parak writer we may keep swishing hara vishwa gilmore because the second base of english was destroyed yes there were three sins and therefore the three practicum connected by his reaction by ishaini there was only one sin therefore by shayna only has one parak but that one sin was keenam and sinashinam is the equivalent of all three big sins therefore therefore abba sai by the parrot that corresponds to bhaiyasheni even though it's only one parrot but each letter has three words each letter excuse me has three psukem in other words avoid the zara is paragalaph of echa for bias reshun giliarius is the second paragram is the fourth parak the third paragraph is negative is equal to all three now interestingly even though there are three sukim gimmel for each letter but the sukim are very short vlad kareem rabbah are very very short and that's because we could suggest rabinoyana teaches us that how is the equivalent of gilia zara not straight up not it's not one act of sinatram that's the equivalent of all three but because it's such a small sin it's it's likely repeated repeated repeated again again and again and again again roberto youno likens it to strands of silk where each strand you could rip it but when you double triple quadruple it it becomes very strong so too the sin of sin is in fact it is equal to all big three but each one in and of itself is very small and therefore paragymo has three small silicon for each passage that's why paragumal does not begin with because rabbi shaney they did not violate jave krisos gomatria 36 the 365 they were sinners of christos they violated the esrim therefore it begins with each letter of ania gever has three for each letter of the allah phase which is connected by yoshini and what about the fifth paragraph the fifth paragraph doesn't begin by icha and does not go in the order of the allah phase well says enacted on the destruction of the land they were exiled and they shall allah they violated the torah yes because it corresponds to the destruction of the land to the corbin-based hamikdash and that reaches the very epitome and very source and very beginning then nothing is above it and therefore it goes in the order of the aleph base to indicate that it reaches the very foundation of existence that was enacted on the exile from the land and the land is not like the base hamikdash and that it should reach the very beginning in other words there's a concept that the base hamikdash is the very foundation of the world and to indicate that the order of the parak is formulated by the order of the aleph base the cache in holy therefore it does not go in the order of the alphas it just has 22 so if anybody wanted to know how many minecraft 22 22 22 aleph bayes dalit and hey each have 22 that's 88 plus 66. so what's 88 plus 66 do we have any nuclear physicists here to do this very complicated 154 right i believe so they're 154 and these are the three tragedies reshine corbin by ishaini destruction of the land and this is what the german darshan's on bays these are the three tiers that jeremiah cried one for bayes resha and one for by ishaini and one for khurban haaretz comes now i would ask personally and if you don't have an answer to this i'll still be your friend but i think it's an interesting to think thing to think about and that is if aleph base and dalit are bias re-shine and gimbals by shani why in that order in other words why is the parrot that corresponds to bayoushani stuffed in right in the middle of aleph base and dalit you would expect the three echas to go together and the aniha should be after them why is it sort of intertwined i was just thinking about this morning okay we could proceed now with the rest of the share you know okay nero lafaresh it would also seem we could explain negative shabba alayam hagolas they correspond to the three tragedies that befell them in during exile the sword void and hunger which is hunger and that brings devastation even to the young because very often in warfare the marauding soldiers will only destroy the adults sometimes leaving over the children but hunger equally affects even the youth in other words often warriors will not attack the young but hunger is more relevant to the youth an adult could support himself but how will the youth support themselves so that is number one is um sword the sword is everyone then is hunger and followed by golos in other words number one galos excuse me number one is galos exile exile as we're about to see is for the women the ikera goes to exile hits the women harder men anyway they're gallivanting all day but women they're in their house or at least they should be and therefore women are um are more sensitive to the hardship of godless because women their role their place is in their home so you have golos you have and you have rav ghalos is exile rav the sword and rav is hunger exile affects the women the sword affects the men and hunger affects everyone therefore in parallel this corresponds to golos like the pulse plastic says and if you notice the whole paragraph this is last shot in the cave management my singing is not about the menu option okay so and then we talk about paragraphs the sword we talk about the sword that be wraps it talks about the murder and this is can i get the men but the fourth parrot talks about the children that's connected and connected the hunger that's why i'm possible that is a reference to the beautiful children of you shalom however what about and so we have peric aleph is connected galos parrot bayes is connected hunger is connected excuse me the sword and perhaps dalit is connected to hunger and what is paragumo because paragumo is as long as one two and four that there is actually one tragedy that includes all of the above avalania who cannot be aniya corresponds to captivity shannon that they were placed in the hands of their enemy the davos may this matter stands on its own and captivity is relevant to men women and children some people go into captivity to be sold even the youth but to be able to be used for all of their needs and all three are possibilities they're in chevy there could be exile de vada and sometimes they don't give to eat the compound and this is what we say in the first part of a basra that shavi is kaneged kulam like the posix says in urea sherlock islam and the gemara says in the first paragraph all three are in shri and therefore the third paragraph has three olive bases in other words aleph phase and dalid one is connected galos one is connected the sword and one is connected hunger and paragumo has three olive phases corresponding to all three in other words let's explain well why is it in other words why is it that it's not like the captor is going to impose all three very strongly it's sort of they're all just possibilities albeit somewhat remote and therefore the ipsukim are much shorter so is much more extreme because in bias region they experienced excuse me because one is connected galos which is an extreme one is can i get um the sword which is extreme and one is connected hunger which is an extreme but in captivity even though all three are possibilities but they're just somewhat remote and therefore they're shorter of absolutely it's even deeper than we said more than it says here is an echa now marv according to this shot we could also ask why would it if it's talking about golos kharev and rav why would it interrupt with chevy all we added is according to the first shot that it's kaneget avaya's arguable we sort of explained also why the tsukim are short and that is also because the manner in which sinasrinum is equal to all three is in a very in a much uh in a shorter manner in other words uh it's it's the conglomerate effect okay my rabbis i would like to just focus on a few important akudais and limutim that we learn out from icha and one interesting question is the gemaran sanhedrin says god said i wanted you to dwell securely buddha but now i wanted you to dwell bad my shabbat but now you're echa yashwa badad so what exactly does this mean i wanted you to be shy but instead it's and furthermore here in this passage seems to indicate a and why is it in kinase it has this negative connotation of icha yasba so why is it in devarim and in bilaam the word badad is considered a attribute an accolade in other words it's considered a milo to dwell badad and in eicha or by the matsaira it's considered a deficiency it says of shimon schwab he heard from his son with mayor euroham that the difference is not in the word badad but in the word yishkoin or yeshev when you're yay the connotation is you're a loner you're you're sitting all by yourself you're forsaken you're forlorn when you're shy means your enemies your all the name the other nations of the world are your shaheen they're your neighbors they want to come close to you like the positive says that har we love kala gaya but they can't because we're above them we're more eminent than them we're the where badad as much as they want to approach us they're our neighbors but they cannot they cannot associate with us god says i wanted you to be shy where everyone surrounds you everyone's your neighbor but you have the prestige where they cannot they cannot come close to you because you're much more elevated you're not forlorn or forsaken you're the envy of all the world all the world throngs to you you're shy but instead you have to suffer the sari faith of yoishev like it says by the messiah okay i want to bring to your attention something very interesting this rama over here number 11 i'm sorry you can't really read it but the ramos and seven tough queen tests of dalid the ramos says that the korea for tish above is key and then the ramos says every kaddish that you say after echa until you leave the shoal in the morning we do not say to scabbell hasta maesa lal tishebov you do not say to scabel and kadesh now if you look in the bay siori safe he says the reason is it has something to do with echa what does it have to do with because in um that's what it says in that go to nominee and the reason is because we say even when i cry out hashem blocks out our fila by that token then the kaddish you say before echa you do say to skabel so you're going to say kadeshalem with tisca bell before echa and then another katherine after echo without tisca bell now the gemara some bases of says that you're dominant in a base level that they don't say to sky ball and in a base logo when that makes sense that after you read earth you really have it's like we're available [Music] well i don't that's not the reason in other words the reason we don't just say tisca bell is not a sign of availas it's rather because in eicher it said in echo it says even when we cry out and scream out hashem blocks out our tv and that's based on the gemara in brock islamic based the gates of heaven are like now another interesting thing that we learned from apostles let's see how i do this oh here we go beautiful literally god carried out his plan that he intended from yesteryear so from these words bitsa and rasa we learn at another a few important halachas number one um we remove the parikhas the night of tishma of al-shembitsa and rasoi because of the passage of bitsa amrasin could also mean he ripped his royal robe by the way that's why we do not we are talish above morning um the madrid pizza amrasoi bisa porpira delay he ripped his his royal robe that refers to the talis and then we say he's he threw his filling down that's why we don't wear its filling now an interesting question [Laughter] what does it say in perak dali pasik alef and then it says it says the holy stones have poured on every street banim hamirim kavanam tava sumaru sagada ka ravi is we know that sent word to yermia that he wanted to to pass through eretz israel to wage war against assyria in the northeast and yermia defied power and because he hear me um excuse me not year me uh yoshio did not allow parana to go through and the reason he didn't let him go through is because he held that when the jewish people do the building of god no nation will travel throughout israel even to do war against another nation and he mistakenly had a a better impression of jewish people than they were on and therefore parana defied him and he traveled through israel and he shot yosho with 300 arrows and he pierced his body like a sieve and the matter salgado says that every reverse of blood right khazal tell us yermia went running over to the fallen yoshioho and he heard the dying words of yoshihoo what were yosho's dying words he said um in other words he was matstik the din but here we find koraviya's dam shiyatsu every reverse of blood that emanate from yeshua from every arrow that has got stuck in him by yermia jeremiah came koi vrai and he hayao yerumi akaiva yamiya would bury it then makaima the allahu kairen about this he reads tishtapna kaidash so we have a very interesting question on this because yermia what what was yermia we just lained two shabbos comes the rash and the rashas in this commentary to the madrid says los angeles damn wait a second how can yermia bury each ounce of blood but blood is metame and a cayenne is not allowed to be matami himself what are you going to say it's ama it's a mesa mitzvah i mean there were jewish soldiers everywhere how is your milado do this so the rashas says look in bracha is reverse of blood just like he knows there is not miguel if he comes in contact with reviews of blood um so that's one answer one possible answer is a cayenne is not muslim but you could say that the lotion of rashi means each arrow that pierced him mash malicious the blood of a living person perhaps is not matami says the rashas now if you notice in parikh bays if you have an echa on you handy a so we have i in pai and the whole parrot aleph goes in the order of the aleph base and lo and behold we come to parikh bays and it's so we have the pay before the iron and the german sanhedrin says why does it say pay before the iron rav they spoke with their mouth what they didn't see with their eyes the miraculous spoke with their mouth what they didn't see in their eyes so now the question is if that's the case why doesn't perak aleph begin with a um in other words peric olives should follow the same pattern pay ayan why does peric olive go in order this is the question of rob shimon schwab and he gives a very interesting answer says because the peric aleph would not go in order we wouldn't know what the order of the aleph phase is we would think the correct order of the allophase is payan so parikh alif goes i in pay and establishes the order of the olive base once the order is established then everything is good then we could flip it so that it's recognizable that we're we're distorting the order however you could ask on rub schwab that do i need acha to establish the order of the allah phase i mean what about tehillim doesn't tehillim in parak in ashrae in kofiotes go according to the order of the allah phase in other words why why do i need icha parakalif to establish the order of the allah phase the tami hammond huggin gives a very interesting idea and he says you know in massachusetts we find that the miragum did not lie entirely they started off by saying so they started off by praising arthur's trial so rashi says wait a second why are they praising artists so rashford says every good lie has some truth in the beginning so therefore says italian hug and peric aleph represents the accurate element of the report that they began with and then from parikh based on on that's where the distortion begins we will conclude with the following um we're going to conclude with a very important pasta and that is the pasta says what can a living person complain about all one could moan about is one sins that's a very powerful passage when para had a jewish problem on his hands and he needed to come up with the jewish solution he convened the court of three people bilaam and bilham gave advice to destroy the jewish people eeoif was silent and yesterday ran away bilam was killed ioev was judged with the most horrific israel human being experienced israel ran away he was zaika that his children are situated by the lishkas hagas obviously who deserves worse punishment billab or iv certainly bilaam deserves much worse punishment bilaam advised to destroy eoif did not could not be present look like he was an accomplice so he ran away so why did eoif get a worse punishment than bilum bilham got off scot-free his head was sliced off and that was the end of him and he didn't suffer but he always suffered his whole life it would seem that you've got a much much worse punishment than did billam says shall believe certainly the punishment of billam needs to be much worse in the if billam advised iran claudius was silent but we see in the punishment bilaam was killed and eof was judged with yesurim bitter yesurim that no human being could even tolerate and bear it would seem that the punishment of bilum was much worse however we come to aposition how could a person complain about anything he has to endure achara hashem says how could you complain in life you're alive if you're alive you can't complain by the way this applies to most people listening to the share today i'm pretty i'm pretty safe assuming that most people in the sheer i don't know if you're ashkenazi or sfardi ifyudaven ashkenaz are smart i don't know what kind of yamako you wear i don't know what color shirt you wear but one thing i know for sure everyone listening to the shirt has in common is everyone is breathing otherwise it would be hard to attend today shir rashi says you can't complain because i gave you such a hassa that you're alive adam once a person has accepted a gift from the creator is obama love imagine if somebody here's the mushroom slavis gives you got to be in it to win it right so you're not winning the lottery unless you buy a ticket so let's say you buy the uh you buy a ticket and lo and behold you won you want a million dollars and then some annoying neighbor calls you up and he wants to chew your air off for 90 extra seconds it's not even going to bother you you'll tell him ramble on for another tim and 10 minutes well you know you're very happy why because nothing bothers you when you're flying high martial imagine if you won a billion dollars in just that moment the football goes through your back window no problem you won't even pay attention any small trivial um annoyance would be negligible a person needs to appreciate the gift of life his happiness needs to be to no end whatever difficulty you have in life how do you even pay attention to it if you've been bestowed upon the greatest gift even if someone has the worst situation it should be negligible in comparison to the gift of life this is what says god yasser yusranika god you could give me affliction but he what does this mean pasha god do with me whatever you want but don't take away my life but another shot is saying even if god gives me terrible affliction but islam islam is i don't even feel it that's a very distinctive shout out is saying god do what you want don't take my soul no there's another shad even if you give me khashoggi surim i'm not even margin because i i appreciate the value of life to such an extent someone who complains of the about the vicissitudes of life and he does not he's not sensitive to the great fortune this is a ref this is referenced in the past a man he is in great prestige but he doesn't understand he's like an animal what does this mean adam he's given the most precious asset and he doesn't understand it nimshal behemoth nidmu he's living like a behemoth just like a bahima doesn't appreciate the value of the of living and life someone who allows sort of the challenges of life and everyone has them to get the better of him is lacking in the proper focus and this is something uh sort of a reality check which is a worthwhile reminder to us really every day of our lives that if we would have a proper appreciation for the value of life it would cause our difficulties to to some degree be dulled and therefore in fact bilaam suffered a much much worse faith than iaive because billam died and yes he lived a very tragic life but the gift of life is so great that it could even impale and cause to dull the usurm of y so let's just end off this time for real with one question and that's hashem everyone's welcome to join us in muncie next sunday morning where we're gonna be addressing this next sunday night thank you jojo you should come already in the morning but you're gonna have to stay until the night um but hopefully it will be recorded and we're gonna address the question of the adam elect has a very fundamental question on echa that will let you think about for about a week and that is the rambam tells us based on the gemara that naveem were not able to prophecy at any time but they had to focus their minds and be in a state of gladness and happiness and well-being and contemplate because nivua resides not out of sadness and not out of laziness only mitak simcha so the question is we know the prophet yermiah wrote kenos echa with tears it is the most tragic of all the prophecies and as he describes the the maya titani he wrote it demise how then was he able to write it benevola if nivoa could only be attained mita it would be what kind of simcha could year me i have had me demise and prophesying about the future gloom and doom rabbi sai um just a public service announcing bezos hashem we're working very hard to get the new safe era on the tanua mayor balinese we're trying to get it out before rosh hashanah it's very trying times because of many many factors um obviously the world has come to a standstill but we're we're still i hope on schedule um so we're trying for basically the beginning of september so if anybody who still wants to participate and also there's uh there's hashem a safe here in english coming out on chanukah with art scroll that will be out um hopefully soon after the yamantai vim so that's also available and if anyone's interested you could let us know okay everybody say thank you so much for listening have a great day and uh five o'clock if anyone wants to join for tama davira um that uh you're welcome to join us of course and uh have a great day how's your grandfather doing thank you thank you you've
