The Everlasting Embrace - Rabbi Yosef Weinberger

tells us that in the moment that our enemies entered the heihal during the destruction the basa amigdas they saw the kruvim the angelic structures on top of the arun were hugging one another and many asked a question at the gamer elsewhere in bavar tells us that the man in which the crew related to one another represented the status of our relationship with that kara sparkle in that time and that at times the crew and face one another those were the good times and then other times the crew of them faced away from one another and those represented the difficult times and was there a more difficult time than the khurban itself in the times of the destruction of the bay summit dash and yet our enemies saw recognize the two kruvim were hugging one another so how can that possibly be representative accurately of our relationship with our kardash in that moment and there are several answers given to that question but the binay saskar gives a beautiful idea and he says that you know in the in the walks of life people are busy we have jobs they have responsibilities you walk into a home parents spouses children you don't always automatically recognize the love it's not always exhibited in the most extreme fashion on a day-to-day basis not that that's the way it should be but that's just the way it is people don't always go out of their way to express their love for those who who they do truly care about it's specifically at a moment when there's separation if you ever see parents dropping their kids off to at the airport for a year in israel honestly even parents dropping their kids off at the bus stop for uh four weeks in a summer camp the hugs and the tears are flowing the hugs the embraces are strong the tears are many and in that moment when you know there's going to be a separation that's when you hug your child that's when you hug your parents in a way that you wouldn't normally do on a regular monday after school because you recognize that there's going to be a long separation and you do love them so much and you want to make sure that they know that so says the binet sashkar this was the embrace that akareshwar who was giving us claudius just moments before a long and dark and bitter goddess he wanted to let us know that yes you're going away for a while longer than a summer camp longer than a year in yeshiva seminary there's going to be a separation but i love you in the way that any parent would hug their child on the way sending them off to a foreign country sending them off to be abroad to make sure that they know that i'm always going to be with you even if we are physically separated this hug this moment of intimacy should help you remember that you're never going to be alone and that was what i sparkle was expressing to us through the cro the the hugging of the kruvim in that very bitter and difficult moment of the horbonne before we set out on this long and dark ellis to understand that kadashbar who is always with us that hug is meant to remind us of the everlasting love and relationship that we have with the karasbaraku the same way a parent has with their child [Music]
