Is there Any Basis For Pesach Sheini Being Rebbe Meir's Yahrtzeit

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning everyone um today is a very special day for me because today is the day as we're about to see that is traditionally and i use the word traditionally with emphasis commemorated as the yard side of the great tanner of mayor balhanese now i've been um preparing a safe era about mayor for many months um this is a tana that for mysterious reasons somehow my soul took a connection to and today being his yard site we're going to or at least traditionally accepted as this yard site we're going to have a share on the significance of your dollar er as well as some of the mystical aspects of ramer maybe we'll make this year into two parts and um also i want to use this opportunity again um as sort of a fundraiser to if anybody wants to help contribute to the safe air which i as of now the safer will be called el akada may or anneny we're still going to have another part on wednesday um but we always say if you ask the question how out the concept that were available fits into this picture and i have a lot of information on that i hope to have a share on that on wednesday parshas bahar which is the parsha of kilibine israel avadhim so that would be also an important chapter in the safer i i don't think the safer will be complete without that and um we may add a few little things here and there as we go on but let's uh proceed with uh mara malcolm number one so there's a safer i want to thank my father um actually what's interesting is um a while ago a friend of mine of gadalia schwartz got me two big svaram on the banishkai and in the back of the sram of banishka it lists uh sort of a bibliography of all the swarm that um the banishkai wrote and i i did not look carefully at that part but um my father zolge zensen also got this safer and he was looking through the various farm that the banishkai wrote and he recently told me you know donnie you're working on a safer on the on the tanner of mayor did you know the banish kai wrote a safer on rob mayer i said what the banished cairo to say from ramer i have a lot of the baneshkai's farm i didn't did not i didn't ever even heard that he wrote such a saver so he said yeah look in this safer um called beneshkai um which was compiled by robiak of hillel and there it's in fact brought we have over here there's a safer called mayor basayan these are a gathering of balanese these are a collection of all the times his name is mentioned in the the six books of the mission of the rabbis and also to include other statements about the tanner of mayor haniskar and betamoto madrish israel it is fitting and correct for every jewish who merits to come in other words if you're going to go visit a mayor's tomb then you have this collection of statements that ramirez taught and by learning them you're gonna bring nacha's rook to the sadiq so that the lips of this sadiq will be whispering as you learn his holy torah and this is written um in the year khan sana ubraha is sadiq so um you're with me everyone okay dumb brock is gamatria 628 that's the year 6 28 is the year um excuse me the 6 is the year 18 that's the year that the safer was published but it doesn't say he wrote the safer now if you look in ravyakov hillel's edition on the banishkai he says that this safer was published in baghdad in the year six um and it was written anonymously and it's a collection of halachus that are relevant to our mayor balanese and the second edition was published in 1892. so the first one was 1868 then 1892 the third edition was published in 1899 the fourth edition was published in 1905. okay now how do we know the banished kai wrote it so in a footnote over here it brings that in the in the writings of rav khazan of the sason family it was discovered a letter that he wrote in the year 1933. so rav hazzan writes that the sever mayor basayin was not written by the baneshkai but it was written by some others uh other writer in tavaria that's what he wrote in the year 1933 on rosh hallo 16 days later he he changed his mind he said no the safer mayor basayan was published in baghdad i made a mistake i wrote it was written by one of the sages tavaria but now it is absolutely clear to me that it was written by admar hayaraya admira iraq stands for published it a second time and i thought he was the machado but he wasn't this is this is obvious so in other words it was later discovered that in fact the kai wrote this safer so to me this is like a groundbreaking discovery first of all i'm very glad that this is um this is a paved pathway in other words this is a trodden path to have a safe run ramire balanese even the banished cairo to say foreigness but what's interesting is that the safer was published again in tough race pejas which is 1928 and in it it says the same uh title page number two these are um taught by the tanner mayor balones and anyone ah and the minogue in all of israel is to read this safe air on the yard side aramair which is the 14th day of er pesachini and anyone who comes to prostrate himself on his cover on this day this will bring great nakas to ramayana oh wow what an amazing thing so now we've discovered that between the year 1868 and what was just written as a safer if you go to a mayor's kev air now it's already documented that the minogue is to read the safer on the yard side of ramir balanese now what makar is there that in fact the mayor's yard side is the 14th day of er so we once learned hanukkah time that there is we had a shira that there are those who speculate that ramirez's your side is rosh choi dest kanika and that is why the banishka says to write light a candle nishmas ramir balanese however traditionally jews go to prostrate themselves on the kevar of ramer and they prov his yard site on the fourteenth day of er so this hamid with his medina once inquired of this and he came to the conclusion that this is a fabricated yard site he said what happened and i don't have it on the sheets because we've read it inside in the past what this says is that many jews want to be oily regal for pesach and they stuck around for shiva so what are you going to do in the what a 42 days between pesach and shibuyas you're going to tour the land so lag of oymer of course they went to mayron but the city of tavaria probably for noble reasons and for economic reasons they said come on why are you only visiting the rajbee in mairon what's wrong we've got some pretty nice farm here in tavaria why don't you know tourism is what um boosts the economy so they said why don't you come hang out by us and tavaria right before lagma ima right because pesach cheney is always the eighteenth day of er and lag by oimer is four days later so they said hey while you're on the way to meron for like boyimer stop off uh by ramer and you know so so um the people said okay what are we gonna do it's vera there's not much we could do we can't rejoice they say have a great idea come pay saksheni anyway there's no tachnon so you don't have to cause any disturbances you don't have to cause um i i we don't have um we don't have any disturbances uh we yeah we have no reason to um you have no reason not to come to us on pesach shami because we have no reason not to come on peace cheney because anyway we don't say tac no no it's a quasi holiday so it's sort of developed that it was his yard site now this is basically saying that attributing the 14th of era to the yard side of a mayor is sort of made up is made up in fact let's skip to number 11 for a moment look at number 11. remember news garbage omakin this is not mentioned anywhere and if you look in the safer tamil haman hagim and for some reason i could not get this edition of the tamiham and hagem but i saw it quoted in a different safer and they say from he brings that rav margolius comments that you have these new fangled people who were boy dem milibam they concocted a new holiday as if pesach shaini is the yard center ramir balanese and he brings over there that the rava kadarsha mordecai muslin of sloanim he issued a proclamation with great historious stop this minogue it's it's it's ridiculous it's pesach cheney it's a halal you're just going to make up this is ramirez the art site and if you look over there we find the proclamation i would like to get i just didn't have a chance last night and he writes in the end over there that by the ashkenazim he was able to be mavato the this concocted ceremony as if it's a mayor's yard said look you want to celebrate the yard side of the of atsadek but it has to be his yard side you can't just make up it's his yard side and he brings the risha and let's see in the saga of ramashkanazi and his has come to the countries coven malachim he writes um we don't have any medication for this problem of people going to a mayor's cover on pesach cheney okay so there's some pretty strong opposition to um celebrating the 14th day of the year as rav mayor's yard site but today is the 14th day of er and traditionally it is commemorated so today is not the right day to you know to um what's the expression today's not the right day to to uh wane the excitement and to to pour dust on the uh fire so we're going to learn some sources that do legitimize and do substantiate the custom of going to rev mayor's kev air on your dollar er and considering it as yard sign so let's begin we have a torah journal called our torah on top shin men test page tough tough sonic test in tunisia he heard from mara aviv that there was no messiah that mayor passed away on this day but they just juxtaposed it to the hilula durajbi but in the safer of professor zev vilni he writes in the year 1874 on the 14th day of er the sages of tavaria for the very first time in history conducted a ceremony on ramirez cover he was the one who guided this he lula and there are two reasons why they sort of established to celebrate mayor's yard said on this day listen to this in other words now we have historical evidence that the very this is this this custom does not go back to time immemorial it was first observed in 1874 and there are two reasons why they picked this day number one it never falls out on shabbos amazingly amazingly pesachini will never come out on shabbos and number two they didn't want to make a new holiday and ruin tachnon so they picked the day that you don't say tachnon anyway so maybe this is probably the most historical observation that we're going to have that it was first absorbed observed in 1874 and the reason why they picked that day is it will never fall out on shabbos and secondly it will and secondly we don't say tachnon anyway now i want to give a shout out to my good friend in france reber fal ansel who pointed out to me that there is an amazing safer a contemporary safer written honor of mayor and actually i would really like to get a hold of it i already tried it's not available in america if maybe someone in israel is listening to this the name of the safer is and it was written by a rabbi gozell it was written by a rabbi gozell who also wrote a safer on the rashby and he brings over here he quotes one of the original publication publishings of the safer mayor basayan and he says the reason why they go to ramirez so now here we have besides the fact that it will never fall out on shabbos and besides the fact that there's no tachnon here's an economic reason they would go to meiron they would spend a ton of money on the olive oil and they would spend a lot of money they would burn garments on ramer on rab shimon barikoi's kevar that was an ancient custom and there's a lot of discussion in halacha it's about how you like to burn the goddamn on the rashbes kevar the bottom line is people who observe this they're willing to they're willing to shell out the bucks they're willing to shell out the cash so the sages and tavaria say wait a second very nice they they want to shell out money to honor azadek but the money's going down the drain once they're spending the money they might as well come to tavaria once all these tourists are coming with cash let them come to tavaria tewari has so many kuala lumpur and tamil let them pump the money into the local kuala lumpur instead of just wasting it on a big fire and on garments that are burnt mutave which is on the way anyway so basically they were taking advantage of the the tourists who came with their american express card and they did it for a good reason they wanted to support tyra next reason there's a safer called nasi voice hamaarav which is again quoted in the safer ilan nesivo samara was written by haravagan and he records that the minogue on the night of the fourteenth of er the yoyma the hilula of the tana le kiramir balanese was benign and after marav they would sell neroys and they would light it and they would have been sudha with the ray torah and shabach and halal and the piodhama foursome they would sing after p barina next we have an observation of from the say from khasio a rabbi yosef masos from the makance which is in morocco they said in the city of tavaria they make this day very great with joy and song and sudais and distributing tadaka and this is a um this is practiced by um okay in fact marv i found last night in a safer yoga yakov which are it's the safer of zmeroys of the from the abi hatsera family abu hatsera of the babasali and lamalavi kaidash the rabbyakov abu khatsera who is the and i found one apismone i found the pismone and um that was written and in this pismone he talks about the he talks about oh one second he talks about the yama dahilullah of three all-time great sadiq rav mayor and rav yakova and he wrote a pismine and look listen to what he wrote i'm going to make up a tune for the pismine actually i'm not because you know let me just say it i praise you god i thank your name god when you perform wonders you're righteous that you do wonders through them your creations of fear allah is for them it should be a memory and a sign rabbi shimon gila ira rabsheman revealed now look at this the perfect king is the tana ramayanas was enacted as a yoima dahilullah for a mayor not that it doesn't mean that it was he actually passed away on this day but it sounds like it was enacted that way is a shield in his merit the outstret the scattered of israel will be gathered in hashem hashem so in a footnote over here it brings down that the yom haptyra ramire bahanese is not mentioned anywhere but the sages of tevaria established it as pe sakshini the first time it was observed was in and i think we quoted that um actually we had we quoted the observation of professors of illinois which in 1874 here he's saying it was observed even earlier than that in 1867 where they built a new building actually what happened was they built a new base hacknesses in tavaria and it was completed on pesach and everyone gathered to ramirez in honor of the chanukah and there was a big symbol there and they said you know what let's do this again next year so next year they also visited ramirez and that's how it developed so this sort of uh predates the observation of the professor by seven years and they established various things to learn for example the safer takfoy shall nays the conscious mayor basayan kenshura dura mayor um there are those who have challenged this minogue but the continued it the hamid wrote a letter to the rabbani tavaria to ask them about the explanation of the minogue and they praised it and this is called in this ahmed now this is the whopper if you look in mara and he says in morocco the minaguas to celebrate your dollar er as the yard side of ramir bahanes to make a sudha to learn his torah to light neroys and this was the minogue of the family and ramirez said that even though we don't know when ramire balanese died since minnow gizral is to mark his yard side on pesach cheney so that they will consent menachem that this day should be his so um so basically he's saying oh quite a whopper over here he's saying amazingly that even though we don't really have evidence that rav mayor was nifter on pesachini but if the jewish people observe that day then their mosque that this day should be considered like the yamadahilola of ravmayr now i want to share with you something interesting um i'm just trying to see how to put this on um do not disturb okay my my father mentioned to me that my grandmother my grandmother was the daughter of the rough of such and it wasn't really known put it this way she always commemorated his yard side he died in the war saguetto she always commemorated his yard site on yom kippur and the truth is they told many holocaust survivors to do that because anyway yom kippur you say yasgar and you're fasting anyway but there's a concept that once you start observing a yard sign on a certain day even if there's not a basis it's sort of it becomes that and that's what we're saying with ramire but now we're in the first part of the show we're about to provide two connections to um the 14th day of er and the greytana ramire look at number eight um he says tavaria this is from the safer toivas mare of rabberfal ahuna from the sages of tabari he says here's another reason why they make the yama the hulu ramir balanese in tavaria on the 14th of er because we find in the psukim and severa divre hayamim i'm sure you remember from your divreihayam say there that peace that celebrated on the 14th day of er because if you if you remember the story in times of kris kiya they had to make they had to observe sakshini they couldn't keep on like the gemara says and it's explained in the xiaomi and there in the comments says that and he healed the people oh that means we find in tanakh that pesachini is a day that is masoodle that our fellows should be answered especially for afua them cain kivan israel since we find that it's a time that is mukshar that hashem should be macabel feliz for claudius therefore they established that day as his yard side um we bless god ms we pray for the callum as a relative of sick and they pray toward the bastard shu muksha luraphua this day is predisposed for healing and god will heal us meaning we find in tanakh then on pesach for claudius he was answered so we find it's written there the ismaku called yehudah all of kahal yehudah rejoiced israel and the tvs of his were listened to and hashem healed them so i'm reading this with great emotion hashem should send raphua to all khaila israel today therefore says so they acted well and they had intended well the sages of tvaria to establish the simcha lula and abraha funk for claudia israel on pesachini because this is the day from time immemorial that is designated for our tree lights to be answered that's a beautiful reason i love that reason in other words this is a a very powerful reason because we know that no day in the jewish calendar is merely uh happenstance we know that any time the jewish people observe something so if they're not naveem banayan of euhu and we see that this day is designated from time immemorial that we should be mispal-el and bless the people and the thilos are niskabel and the broadcast so we hope on this day we pray to hashem hashem should send all of cloud israel yeshua is refugees and hashem should bless everybody on this holy day and finally one more reason um in number nine tam shaoisin a very interesting shyla there's a halacha whether why don't we give uh what's allah if you give sha'ahmanis at night and not not during the day why don't we give matanos at night during not during the day so he answered that these mitzvahs are like tsudaka and kabbalistically i once spoke about this venat together with this khashwa illam that arizal prefers dhaka during the day and not at night that reason writes not to give tzedakah during the night okay you do um you do give it through the night but never you you can but there's a kabbalistic reason not to now there are two night there's a night one night a year that we do give sadaka the night of pesach because we said why because we have nothing to worry about the night of pesach it's le shimuram and there's no sakana now we know ain't being pesach resha in la shaini the same way that that there's no differentiation between the first pesach and the second pesach except for pesach so it comes out look regarding leo shimuru there's no difference between pesach richard and cheney therefore they were koiveya the knight of pesach cheney to light fires like pesach mitsrayam which was also laila kayam yoyo and to give tsudaka especially by the way in light of the fact that in tavaria the whole hejman was the people are coming with money let them support the anim so they did so and pay sakshini to indicate that pesach cheney is like pesach and that it's a one other night a year that you're allowed to give to dhaka now there is some evidence over here in number 10 the nakhlas advice i forgot to write who this is from i believe is rav josef masos who quotes some kind of old document which i guess is subject to speculation that he writes that rabbotai i want to tell you about the greatness of the patera mayor i found an old document and it says that when rev mayor died in asia it was the 14th day of er and it was thursday night okay so here you have it you have some kind of i guess claim that there is some ancient source that remember it is ramirez's yard site but again halachically it's questionable that that it's actually his yard site however since uh as best as we have it we have a bunch of very important reasons it's a day to have your felix answered and as of may abhi khadzir says if the jewish people observe it on this day then in fact that is reason enough to say that in heaven hashem will endorse that decision now that is part one of the shear and we're going to i'm gonna be back with you in three minutes don't go anywhere and uh see you in three minutes you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
