Kinnus 5782 - Rebuild the Temple That Is You! (Part 1)

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com as we mentioned according to menogashkinaz there are 45 kenneths that are part of the liturgy of tish above many of the kidness are very difficult to understand because of their structure because of their language the torites and symatovka of nontests that the whole congregation needs to understand them women children even the young boys and therefore for the sake of greater understanding and to enhance the meaning of our tissue of service we're going to be selecting specific kinos to recite to focus on paying attention to the historical background and some of the key phrases we should know though that even if you don't understand the meaning of the words of the kinos the words themselves carry tremendous kedusa perhaps the the most well-known of all the paitanim the most well-known of all the authors of kinis was rebellious who is considered the father of the pythonim he's the author of the first 15 kingdoms that we say today and many of the fellows that we saved throughout the year the shibali haleket brings the tradition that revelation when he composed one of the pieutim [Music] a heavenly fire encircled him in fact mahari hertz writes that when revelation wanted to compose the pieutem he uttered various shamus he ascended to the heaven and the angel michael taught revelation how to compose the kennes now revelation khaleer was certainly an awesome personality but there is a degree of uncertainty regarding exactly who revelator hakalia was identifies revelation so whether we understand the words we have to understand that each word of the kinah is latent with great spiritual power we begin the kinase everything came to a standstill everything stopped suddenly unexpectedly but sullivan explains that sometimes people have an intuitive recognition that tragedy is imminent and that helps a person psychologically prepare their minds for the upcoming tragedy however the mccoy name of lazar khalil expresses that the tragedy of the corbin was not just that it happened but shove us that it happened suddenly without any preparation yeah the people will were warned there's going to be corbin there's going to be corbin but they didn't believe it they didn't expect it to happen they woke up in the morning and lo and behold the base hamikdosh was no longer the best was gone you shallam was destroyed and they were being taken into galas even yermiah himself who prophesied about the upcoming disaster even he experienced the suddenness of the khurban hashem commanded yermia to go to anasaz by the way the sader hadoire says the word echa is a rasheed ani i jeremiah the prophet from anasaz he was commanded to go there to buy field from his uncle and when he left the bay samiktus was standing and the column of smoke was going straight up and the kahanam were bringing the carbonus and yermia came back and the basal mintash was gone and the smoke was gone and there was no building let's take a look at the eighth line in the kinah the mccain the lamenter says my eye longs for the vision of zachariah like we read in the navi zakariya yeshvu zakanim of the kenoi's prophesied elderly men and women will sit in the streets of ushalayim the ishmael shantoy each man with his staff in his hand due to old age we longingly look forward to that prophecy if we look on the thirteenth line on the bottom of pine paras at the euphrates river her pious ones were mutilated this refers to when the jewish people were being exiled and the well-known naveem were being carried off and ibukhanatsara commanded the leviam to serenade him shirulanu mishiretsiyen sing to us from the songs of zion serenade us while we gloat over our victory we're upon the levine hung up their instruments and they bit off their thumbs they mutilated their thumbs making it impossible to sing any songs they didn't say say no hashem they said hashem how can we sing with mutilated thumbs so we like to say over from our favorite masaka yavama is where texas brings down and is bothered then the times of the second base amigdas it says ezra came back and he could not find any levium there were no no no levies returned in times of the second base amigdas so taisu says actually there were livium there were no young delivium the only levium that returned in the times of the second days of mikdash were the old leviam who were 83 years old and up they were the levine that had expelled from ishalayim who and the nets are commanded shirolana we shared sea on the levine bit off their thumbs so there was no one to sing in the bass amiktas the young livium weren't there the old lavium didn't have thumbs and therefore amazingly the navi tells us ezra penalized the levium for good nicer re-shine is no longer given to livium it's who we give it to the also the livium but the levium were penalized so i asked for zaichik who are you penalizing you're penalizing the old levium for biting off their thumbs they sacrifice their limbs not to play for navulcanetsa how could you penalize the levium says yes it was admirable that the levium could not play for nebuchadnezzar under any circumstance but they should not have bit off their thumbs biting off their thumbs meant they didn't think that they would survive another seventy years and see one day the building of the second base amigdas they gave up hope the worst crime for a jew is to give up hope we're now streaming so we're going to start all over so we're going to continue the levine were mayash the levium gave up hope and a jew never gives up hope for giving up hope the livium were penalized they lost my cereshine forever but we are never me the most important kinah that we say on tishbo is kinnayad alef vayikonen yoshiyahu because the recitation of the kinah was ordained by the navi yirmiyah himself and the navi tells us all the male singers all the female singers have always mentioned and lamented your shiho until today that whenever there's jewish tragedy and we mourn the tragedy we include in it the murder of yoshiohu so here's rule number one the more important something is the more misinterpreted and distorted information you're going to be fed so ignore what it says in your guinness for this kenneth because that's what the christians say if you want to know what we say listen carefully this is the most distorted kinah of the entire corpus of the kenneth number one we know the story about the greatness of yoshiahu the navy says on the sixth line from all the jewish kings that arose to make fences around the torah like come come nobody was like yoshio since the times of martial moshe had ten names one of his names was avigdar yoshio's grandfather was a wicked menasha and he committed his early reign to strip the jewish people of every vestige of amunon he planted in every corner of earth israel including in the sakurashim an idol menachel did chuva later in life but it was too late we don't like to talk about that you know about when it's sometimes too late to do chuva but it was too late for menasha and then his son took over amon was also an idolater and he continued to corrupt the region for two years your show was only eight years old when he began to reign over the jewish people imagine you would come until mikdash and they're sitting on the throne an eight-year-old child wearing the king of malchus david now in the kinna we say on the third line ben shemina alaikov that's poetic he wasn't eight years old when he began to search out hashem it was the eighth year of his reign when he began to search at hashem but a new king is considered katan shanilan and in the eighteenth year of yoshiyahu something happened that would change the face of arizona forever who's the father of yemiya he's making long overdue repairs in the basement and he discovers a safer torah that the christians would like you to believe and so would your kinis that this was the only safer torah found in all of eretz israel that menasha and amon had so thoroughly eradicated the torah from claudius that there was no safer torah in the jewish people to bring such heresy into the kaido shakadasham of your minds because that would mean that there was a severance in the tradition of the torah of israel which is the worst type of bible criticism that you could entertain what was significant was not that they found the safer torah what was significant was that safe retire that was found it was the safe of retirement says harava viktor miller awake my glory page 305. and where the safer tower was open to us open to the taikaka to the possum not only will god lead out the nation he will lead out the king as well whereupon the yusuf he says that yosho tore his clothing he was so shaken says you shall me yoshio utter two words eleno he's gonna uphold the torah and yoshi went into a nationwide massive chuva movement a great assembly that khloe so needed to dedicate themselves because however yoshiya was somewhat naive into thinking he was successful and eradicating olavoid azara in claudius trial but we know khazal tell us they had a double door system and they hid the eye of a desire behind the door so when the detectives came in to the jewish home and they said have you filtered out your avoided zara they said sure tag it we have tag of tag filters no avodah zara over here and when they open the door the avatar was hidden behind the door so yoshio gets word from the king of egypt who requested passage through arat's israel and were led to believe why is paranaque going through eretz israel he wants to attack ashur in the north after all that's what the posix says it says he went al melech but recent archaeology uh this i read in the book uncovering has discovered that paranoia had no intention to go to the north to attack ashur but instead there was a big battle going on in asia minor at the time between the old king of assyria and the new and up-and-coming babylon and assyria was crumbling ninvei had already been captured and the king of assyria was reeling and paro nachae was afraid of bavel and therefore paranaque preferred a weak assyria in the region rather than the strong babylon so he was headed to assyria to bolster assyrians uh effort against bavel so al-melakhashwar means to aid me and this is corroborated josephus writes the same that was not going to attack ashrae but rather to bolster the efforts of ashur and parana said do us a favor we want safe passageway through arat's israel and year me and yoshio anovi yoshoamela believing that he eradicated avatar from the jewish people knew that the torah promised that if we do resign no nation will even travel through eretz israel even for a sake of peace so he said he can come you can't travel through our land and yoshio was looking for a rabbi to ask keshiala to and he was afraid to ask girmia because he knew what yermia would say so instead he asked his question to khulda and he felt would have a more sympathetic opinion and this was yoshiahu's error the same error that we encounter today where people say yeah i asked a rabbi you can't just ask a rabbi you have to ask a true talmud and your show did not do that and when your show denied passage power went out to war against yoshiahu and then the kingdom describes how the egyptian archers made him samuha kimatara they made yoshio like target like target practice and they pierced his holy body with 300 arrows and this great sadik's final words were sadiq god is righteous for i have rebelled against him and the downfall of yoshiahu ultimately led to the steps that ultimately proceeded corbin by isrisha and kinora speaks about the unspeakable acts that the wicked titos perpetrated when he entered the kaidashak dash in the holy of holies of course tithus was the roman general who destroyed the second base hamikdash the siege began by who who ultimately turned around at the last moment arak the ozal the agaya vinodak minay rebbie mayer so shadari lava was promoted to emperor and he sent his son titus and the gemara tells us in getting involved that titus began his declaration not only with arrogance against the jewish people and the temple but against god himself he shouted in obviously it relates that when titus enters the base of mikdash he pounded them he said lucas lucas wolf wolf you're a king i'm a king let's wage war against each other the command getting relates titus grabbed the harlot took her into the kind of shaq he spread out of safer torah and in the holy of holies tintos committed the unspeakable aveira he then slashed the parihas and hashem made a miracle that blood began to flow forth from the parish titus thought he then took the parikhas made a large bundle and used it to carry away all the caleb of the bassamic dash by the account of josephus 97 000 jews were taken captive and the death toll either by the sword or starvation was 1.1 million the romans minted a special coin for the occasion on the one side the head of vespasian with the victory wreath i should have it somewhere here here we go this is the coin worth a lot of money the station is garlanded with a victory wreath and it says on the other side judea capta which is most think it means judea capta judah is captive but for you latin experts out there many say judea capta capda milosha in kaput judea is finished and they carried all the kalem of the vasa mikdash back to rome and one of the most dramatic scenes in imperial rome is the arch of titus which is a huge monument that's been erected engraved the scenes of the kalim of the base of mikdash being plundered and our consolation is that while the roman empire has crumbled if you want to see the roman empire you go to the british museum and you could see a coffee mug where the bottom part of the handle they claim was the frappuccino that tittos is shivkha kenanis once washed out that's the only relic that remains from the roman empire and here we are today thriving yeshivas are being built and institutions all over the world the kinah begins remember what the tormentor did in the bay samiktas shalaf he unleashed his sword and he came into the kardashians he struck terror throughout the land as he defiled the showbread the goddard upon him he pierced the curtain that had two sides the parakas was embroidered in a way where the image on one side was different than the image on the other side says you xiaomi if you go to the bottom line the mccoy name laments the challenging question why when nadav avilu brought a strange fire into the mishkan these holy sadiq were punished by bolts of fire coming down immediately entering their nostrils consuming their innards and yeah when the evil tito committed thee unspeakable what happened to him nothing happened to him how could such a thing be senu our forefathers when they brought in a foreign fire they were consumed by fire visas and this brought brought in a despicable harlot for nicholas but the answer is very simple let's say we were gathered to hear a share about the kinase and the wire is not plugged in so then the only people that can hear it are the people present but when you plug in the wire then all of a sudden the message could travel that's the difference between tito senoju titus he's a gentile so whatever he does it's just mustafa nam he's not plugged into the system but a jew is plugged into the universe every word thought action even the are the genesis of a thought that begins in the clay ice affects the cosmos so z titus could be mizam the kaido shakudashim it has no effect but a jew allows an emperor impure thought to enter their mind that is more catastrophic even than what titus did every morning the kahanam would remove how many vessels 93 vessels every single day they would take out 93 vessels look at page 228 on the sixth line ireneu namek kahishkim mishares our flesh melted when the meshares woke up early they could not find the 93 clichares go to page 228 sarim lufasu kevai parets and when the jews were admonished that they better change their ways otherwise they'll face disasters they were not afraid we're going to say the names of malwa and fire and lightning and they'll defend us they'll protect us but hazal said that on that fateful day the malachim changed their names and changed their jobs so when we summon the malachim the malachim cringed because they can no longer help us take a look at the 13th line visaru they thought tittus would be injured by the six hundred thousand demons the medusa says that when the romans came to destroy the beisamiktas hundred thousand demons awaited at the gates to destroy them by the way that's a lot of demons and they were about to attack attack titus and the demon said if god himself had withdrew his power and he does not interfere then we cannot interfere i'm sure you know the well-known account of the panavichirov of shelima kahanamin when he went to italy to raise funds for the yeshivas and he asked rothschild to take him to the arch of titus and the panavichirov addressed titus and he famously said mir zen and da abu zentir we are here where are you titus so if i may i would like to add a personal arch of titus story everyone should have their own personal arch of titus story a few years ago we had the opportunity to stand at the arch of titus i went together with my father's olgazinstein and yehuda gladstein and 72 years earlier when the war was coming to an end and the nazis had to make the decision should they try to win the war and instead they dedicated all the resources to exterminate whatever jews were still left in the camps my grandfather said included and they packed whatever jews were still left in the camps onto cattle cars where they were headed to the terrell mountains in italy to dig their own graves and then 72 years later i'm standing at the arch of titus three generations my father my son and i turned to the right and who's standing next to us teddy lackman who's teddy lachman teddy lachman is the son of mayor lachmann one pesach came into the show when i was the bakr to the good of avenue and into the shul i was standing next to my grandfather into the shul comes mayor lochmann and mayor lachmann turns to me says you know you're zeida he knows how to davin i think no kidding he knows how to dive and of course he knows he said no no you don't understand what i mean that he knows in the death camps he would be saying to hillam he would be davening the esray and the nazi would come and club him over the head and he would fall down in a pool of blood on conscience and then a day later he would get up he would dust himself off he would brush himself off and he would continue where he was up to in the tehillim in the shemana esre as if nothing happened that's what i mean when i say that this yid knows hadadavan and here we are 72 years later the descendants of my grandfather the descendants of mayor lachmann and were standing there under the arch of titus three generations um and i too cannot help but think tito's hiroshima who has had the last laugh but we know when tito's pierced the parish hashem made a miracle and blood began gushing forth from the parish and of isaac sher asks why would god make a miracle to trick titus into thinking that titus killed kibayaka what's the purpose of this miracle and rabbi isaac shara explains that was not making a miracle for tito's barack was making a miracle for the jewish people was teaching the jewish people that yerushalayim that see that the bayside magdasha's base it's the heart of the claudius realm and if titus is destroying the base hamikdash then the world is suffering cardiac arrest then it's like a dagger in the heart of the jewish people like we say in the bronx zayn zakharov name one of the most dramatic highlights of tish above is kina khaf alif arzay halavanoin depicting the brutal murder of that sarah ruge malchus ten martyrs ten great tanoam who were murdered by the romans and these ten tanam were not all murdered at the same time this is not meant as a historical account reverend shimon gamaliel and rabbi shmuel and gandal did not even live at the same time as the other eight but the purpose of the kinah is to be ma now in yom kippur we read another peyote about the assad i am kipper we read ayla we understand why we read about the death of the sabikim on yom kippur but why do we read about the death of the asar harukimakos on tish above the simple answer is the gemara rosh hashanah says on the base school because very i would like to share with you a thought that just occurred to me there are many tragedies that happen throughout jewish history that we don't talk about on tish above we don't speak about the khamenitsuki pogroms there's no mention of them tens of thousands of jews were brutalized in 1648 1649. how many killers do we have about them none how many words do we say about them we don't talk about them at all why not i will quote to you what rabbi salvation writes i do not know why there are no chemists recited on tish above which commemorate the khameneis persecutions that's saskatchewan why don't we talk about covenant now in the past we answered this question based on ravisha i'm going to tell you a new answer this year rab moshe asks an opposite question ramosha wants to know why do we have a day of fasting the twentieth day of sivan for the khameninski pagamas and we don't have a day of fasting for the holocaust that's for moshe's kasha aramis answers that we don't have to have a separate day of fasting for the holocaust the holocaust is subsumed and tish above just like the crusades are subsumed in tisha but the kaminsky pogrom says omasha are not subsumed in tishb of why so there much is a very big difference between the holocaust the crusades and the khamenski programs anytime there's jewish tragedy perpetrated by the reigning power the government that's the result of hormones so the jewish people have no autonomy we have no sovereignty so our sovereignty has been given over to the roman empire and in our times it's america and in the past it's been the crusaders or germany or hitler so whenever atrocity is perpetrated by the reigning government that's a direct result as the khurban and we don't mourn for it on any other day but tish above it's subsumed in tish above but says rav maisha were not perpetrated by the iranian government they were anti-government anti-police anti-establishment so when it's anti-establishment it's not related to the corbyn so therefore it has to be commemorated on a different day according to that why do we commemorate the asara harugue malchus because that was perpetrated by the roman government the following approach just hit me part of it last night in part of it right now then ishmael writes in his commentary that there is no talkless and people sitting on the floor crying over past tragedy does it make you feel good to sit on the floor not to eat not to drink are you comfortable on the floor i mean we don't have carpet over here most shows don't have carpet emotionals have marbles we have wood so it's a little bit more comfortable you like you like sitting on the floor crying is that going to do anything for the jewish people somebody was slaughtered 50 years ago is he feeling more comfortable now that you're crying those who are massacred in times of are they getting some kind of aliyah because you're afflicting yourself says the deceive us mourning has no taqwas at all unless we delve into the reason why these tragedies occurred and we identify what the hate was and we think about how we could correct it means if the tachos of saying the kinah is not just to mourn jewish tragedy but to identify the cause of jewish tragedy one would reasonably assume that we need to identify tragedies that are parallel to christ not random tragedies that were caused by khattoyam not related to harambe so i would humbly suggest would there be any tactilists in talking about that was a terrible disaster and atrocity but what was the reason for takhtar what caused it so we know that yomtiv made a sheila and he saw that the reason for the xeros of 1648-1649 were because people were talking by some people were talking about davening i'm not a fan of talking about that if you haven't known that by now but that is not relevant to tishaw what does the hate of divarim the talem bisha's hat fila have to do with tishebab that's an aveira it's mentioned in sh we have to be very careful about it we could focus on it anytime but is not relevant to tisha because the siba the cause of the tragedy is not a similar cause to foreign [Music] there's no better day a year to mourn the asara then on you want to know what sunnah is you want to know the repercussions of sinatra you want to know the generational effect of sinatra yosef was sold by his brothers so these 10 saddiquin had to come back as rabbi akiva and rupture me and they had to be murdered by the romans why that's very relevant to tish above there's no more appropriate day to discuss this is not just another jewish tragedy this is the heart this is the cause of it all that is perhaps why we mourn the asaharu malhos on on tish above the kingdom begins ourselvanoin compared to cedar trees like we said saddiq ballet tracing shield bearers interesting tamir khakim are called shield bearers not sword bearers why rav cook writes and the cypher says a very similar idea in parish that the job of a talmud is not to impose their outlook on others but when they are attacked they have to be able to defend themselves that's why they're called shield bearers the mishnow of a gemara in the learning of mishnais and learning of gemara purity learning torah is different than any other intellectual pursuit other disciplines are dependent on intellectual capacity but torah requires siata the shemaya requires amelas the kinna goes on to depict how they brought rabshiman bin gamlial and rabishmal khaligada and they each beg the executioner to kill me first so i don't have to bear to see the death of my beloved colleague and the executioner was so overwhelmed he decided to cast lots look on the tenth line mirisha and berura they cast lots to see who would be put to the sword first can of file guyra raven shimon parashat savara yuba knight zera when the what fell out on rob shimon he stretched out his neck and he cried when the decree was issued was the great grandson of hillah was the direct descendant of david says the mission brew and simon and gimmels of cotton hey in the name of the safer khasid then when shrimagam leo was being carried out to be killed he asked rabbi small calling god my dear brother why am i being taken out to be killed as a criminal i don't have any aviros on my record maybe one time when you were lecturing to the masses your heart felt a certain personal pleasure you benefited improperly from the torah and rab shimon replied my dear brother you've comforted me you provided rationale for why i'm experiencing this if you look on the bottom line the progeny of arrow and rabbi shmuel coin god all requested to be able to cry over the son of rabshiman he took the severed head of rab shimon and he placed it on his lap by the way there's a big question a cayenne could take the head of a mess and put it on his lap i believe i saw over shabbos that there's a halacha that a koyen is allowed to be matami to the nasi to the nasi israel are considered aveilable so rabshimmer rabbishan gado could take the head of shimon gamaliel not loy rosho you know kubota and he placed it on his lap up by the way in light of our introduction to kenos where persons inaudible mouth that strengthened itself in torah pisa allah suddenly is being afflicted with a cruel death the mekkinen then relates that they then turned to khangada and they skinned the order to skin the skin of his head with a sharp razor and as they tore the skin off his head rabbi small did not make a peep he did not cry how could such a thing be how could somebody withstand such torture but we know that marami rotenberg taught his student the tashbates when maram was imprisoned the night to shine one of the halaq baits is that when a person gives up their life i'll kill hashem they don't feel any pain it's a haftah it's a special it's a special gift menachem i am one does not feel any pain ad kid the rabbi yosef angel asks so then rabbi akiva what was the great great my love rabbi akiva that they were sorry bazaar but faker shall be zoned said even now what do you mean person doesn't feel anything like we see rip rub you smile but says the kinah russia happy shade when the wicked man stretched out his hand ac filling mitzvahs when they reached the brilliant mid-swapped villain let out a cry the world shaked and the earth crumbled was able to contain his own personal pain but when he realized that this would be the last time he would ever be able to fulfill the precious mitzvah of filin he cried out in great suffering by the way the ramami panel reveals that yoshio hamilach was a gilgal that rabbi small kayangado was the girdle of yoshio amalek the mccoy name then laments the torturous murder of rabbi akiva the kumar brachiis tells us arabic was imprisoned and sentenced for teaching tara publicly and they took rabbi kiva out to be killed at the time of kriya shima by the way it was kriya shema shall arvis not krishna look on the ninth line on page 250 afterward they brought up rabia kiva this was 60 years after the corbin rabbi kiva at the time was 120 years old rabbi kiva's penetrating analysis could uproot mountains and grind them together oofs the circle is they combed off his flesh with iron combs to break him his soul departed as he was saying the word of krishna the gemara tells us that the jewish people are killed for the sake of god every day this refers to shema what does this mean this refers to shema says that when one says the creation one needs to say so why do you have to get so worked up when you say shema why do you need to shake and trepidate and why are you so anxious when you say shema when one says shema they are required to imagine that they are giving up their life hashem this is not a nice thing to do this is not like a hidden mitzvah this is a halacha that when you say shema you're required to imagine giving up your life this is not a humra a hidden it's a if in in fact one of the students ramami pano says that when you say shema with the right kavanagh it's mahaprabhu you're avails because if you're thinking you're experiencing the dalai miso it's best then so it's like you experienced it by the way he writes the student of the ramami panel something which is ayam the naira says we know that an oni is khashoggis we know that a blind person is hush of commas so if somebody is tempted to look at something inappropriate and one closes their eyes to it so you're even you're even less than a blind person because a blind person can't see you're able to see and you're closing your eyes and you're making yourself a suma you're hush of kames it's veros you're walking down the street and you say okay i'm going to turn away and you render yourself a summa it's likewise one who says krishma and imagines that they would give up their life rebbi akiva was asked by his tamidim even now you're able to say shema when your life is being taken away so you know rabbi kiva said my whole life every time i said shema i envisioned i was giving my life up that was my kavanaugh every time i said so now that i have the opportunity i'm not going to say the shema that was my kavanaugh every time i said the question during world war one rav david pevarsky later become shiva panovich was in a situation where the only way to escape the enemy is he would have to hide out in an outhouse and then he didn't take up the opportunities people asked him how could you not save your life ibrahim you have to go into the bathroom to save your life and abdullah i couldn't do it because for from time and memorial a jew always gives up their life saying shema israel if i would be in the outhouse i would not be able to say the shema i couldn't bring myself to do that. you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
