Hebron Massacre 1929! (even before the modern State of Israel) 18th of Av

Post we know we have the paran and par all discussing of course the after the param is the para that we have been saying from the day that we are born by the by the bris we go ahead and we saying sing the praises of Israel in the ears of the baby and of course we know from the first words when a baby is already starting to talk we try to teach them the words of Israel until the day that they finally when they die. We also we are are meant to say the words of Israel on the day that we all pass away. And obviously every day in the morning and night time we go ahead and we say the Israel and on a constant basis in order to keep in the idea of the connection with the or every time before we go to sleep in order to remain with our protective device we say the is on our lips on a constant basis and of course once a year we end one of the most holy days of the years of course yum kipper some people will say it's pur we end yum kipper which is the most f holy day of the year with the famous words of Israel. These are the words that everybody are familiar with. There was once a episode in the Knesset when someone was crying out how in the in the in the schools they don't teach even they don't teach anything Jewish in the schools anymore here in Israel and he said even the words of Israel he said came out wrong even that they didn't do anyways the idea behind Israel is our connection our relationship with says that many many Jews millions of Jews have died with the Schma Israel on their lips. They were willing to sacrifice their lives even lar writes even if it was just for the apparent vision that it looked like they were bowing down to something or doing something illegal but not really and still they were willing to give up their lives for the sake of he said it's a it's the place of the of it's the song of life of us always living and dying together in the hands of that's this beautiful phenomenon that we are always connected to the areas to hashem are connected to hashem. You find [clears throat] that by the only place that you find over and over again that there are warnings given is byi when we wanted to say go ahead and testify to the nation not to go up on the mountain. He said to tell them over and over again. He warned them and he he warned them over and over again and said why do I have to warn them so much? So the answer is because intrinsically within our nish within our inside of every single person they have a tremendous drive and interest a yearning to connect with their creator to connect with yes sometimes we have things that are cause disturbance they cause static in between us and that yearning in that relationship and it usually comes if I could say from our specific personal interest that we're upset at this person upset at that we're always irritated here we're always looking for the best, maybe chasing a few bucks here, always a little bit looking too much out for myself. So, it's hard to feel that intraconnection. But really, really we live by the words that it says by matra which is mentioned in our parat over here. We want to see it. That's what Rashi brings down. Our yearning and our desire we told Rabenu is that we want to connect Hashem. And with that we never gave up and we was always there. I want to conclude with an incredible story of the yeshiva invan. Now was the yeshiva init Israel and I'm going back a hundred years and there was a famous yeshiva and there was in there was a pug there was a terrorist attack that occurred in 1929 over there inv many many people in the yeshiva were attacked and killed from amongst massive and the future one person was known as the masid a person who learned 24/7 he was always in he is known as going to be one of the future Gdim. He was killed in cold of blood. This murder, this ransack, this absolute terrorist attack took everyone by surprise more or less because it was something fresh off the press meaning Jews in general were living fairly decently with the Arabs and and when there was idea of the Jews taking over Israel and the whole idea of the Zionistic movement. So then as we as the the Arabs already started with their terroristic way of acting they started becoming a little bit anim animalistic or a lot of bit animalistic and this was one of the first puggrams of its time. The first terrorist attacks of its kind which took place in 1929 killing 67 Jews that's a lot of Jews killing 67 Jews and like I said specifically many future that were in the yeshiva. It was a very tragic moment. People were taken a at they were completely at shock. People were completely at a halt with their lives. This took place coming now in a in a few days and in is when this occurred which is right around right right now in this time period right now in it took place almost 100 years ago. In 3 years it'll be 100 years ago. Right now it's 97 years when this took place a month after this horrible event took place was rash was around the corner and on air of Russash the invas told one of the please I want you to go up for I want you to go for arvit of the night of rash the boy looked at him in aboo absolute amazement he's clean shaven I don't have a beard supposed to have a beard when you're a kazan what are you talking I'm not married even. I'm not even married. How can I go up to the I can't do it. of the Mash just pointed his finger and you know as it was back in the olden days everyone listened to whatever the rabbi said and he went up and stepped up to the and he opened up the bar with the of and he continued with the of finally he got to the of and he started slowing down and he had to stop and he tried to sing with the with a but he stopped again tears started swelling into this boy's eyes. He was feeling very difficulty to continue. He wasn't able to do. Suddenly they were dripping out of his eyes and he couldn't continue. But he made his thrust and he pushed himself. He pushed himself to continue the next words until he finally got to the words when he started getting to the line that speaks about the love of Hashem should not leave us until this point. And he said it again and again and he was already choking from his tears. He was unable to control himself. He was in a frenz frenzy of complete emotion and he was doing he already after two or three times of saying the niggan the whole entire yeshiva chimed in together with him. They all sang in his in his niggan together. They said it again and again and again together with the until everyone was in absolute tears repeating over and over again. this love that we have for you right now. We just sacrificed tremendous we sacrificed a tremendous amount of love but this don't take it away from us. Don't let it leave from us. And they said it a few times until he continued in Marv when the doning was over he stepped down from the deas. He stepped down and the the masg came up to him and pointed his finger at him and he said and now you know why I told you to go up. you were the boy that I wanted to go up because I knew you would give over the appropriate message. And the the the afterlman afterwards said the reason why was at a big downer. They thought the yeshiva was over the big were gone and they were ready to retire the yeshiva after this event. Then he said the reason for the yeshiva one of the biggest yeshivas in the world from the biggest together with panovich you know lakewood and over here is considered from the top yeshivas in the world he said the of came from that mar it's from that begging and that yearning of Israel that was of that time when we go ahead and we take a pain we take a challenge and we take it to a different level we build our aem we build our connection our relationship ship with Hashem. And this is where we're remembering during this time period of that tragic event that occurred almost 100 years ago to be able to remind us that yes, we go through difficult times, especially now we're being surrounded by terrorist attacks. There is problems inside and out here in Israel, but we take that as a level of understanding. It comes from pure from the love of hem.
