The Inner Churban - Rabbi Ephy Greene

the story is told of a family singing at the end of the pesach later in the middle of the song the wife starts to cry and she's distraught her husband says sweetheart what's wrong she says i don't want to go to yusha lion i'm comfortable here i like it here in our home i like it here in our community i don't want to move on and he says to her don't worry honey it's just a song it's a very sad and difficult story it is the actual story of the four bun it is the four but not of the building that stood on hibayas but it is the khurban of claudius the medicine tells us that a kurdish borough when he destroyed the base of mikdash he was burning burnt stones it was it was destroyed pulverizing stones that were already dust and ashes the basement dish was already destroyed internally and it was just being finished off externally the corbin that we mourn is not just that there is the lack of dash but rather it is the furban within claudius ourselves there's the quran that we are lacking that we are not connecting to a place which is the headquarters of rookhnis in this world the mishnah tells us of all the neeson that happened in the base of mikdash toast in babavasa tells us how a jew would come to the base of mikdash witnessed the assaramus that happened on a regular basis and it feel tremendous we would come to the base of mikdash and eat our carbonus and bring our mice to shiny and be involved in mitzvos that would can help us confront hakuna sparkle's presence in this world and that is what we are missing the fourth one that we are missing the khurban of the base to make this is the foreground that we are lacking that connection during these three weeks we should try to remember that we are lacking our headquarters that as comfortable as we are in our camps and in our homes and our communities there is a greater place for us to be there's a place for us to have access to greater holiness we should not let the bar sit so low but rather we should look higher and higher like they did in the times of the base of mikdash they would come to ushalayim harim savila on top of the mountains to the highest building in the world to connect to the place where shimanovarez actually meets make this
