hello everyone hello this year is
dedicated Li
nishas okay we're in the middle of the
his forward to
theer and just to review briefly so the
start from the beginning and he
explained that we we're the chosen
Nation Hashem gave us the Torah in order
to beel so that we could do all of the
Mitzvah all of the
why doesm want us be able to do all the
mitzvos so that we will be very kados
very holy very Sanctified and then we'll
be able to receive all of's and blessing
and Bounty and from from sh it's for our
benefit okay so we have to be in we have
to have a b MD without a b mdash you
can't do all the Mitzvah so we had
bishan and then we had Bay Shen Bay
sheni the second temple the second B
mikdash it wasn't as perfect it wasn't
as great on a sense as the first B of
mikdash the says it was missing several
things very important things missing the
Aron missing
the ETC and yet despite the fact that it
wasn't as good as but still we had a we
could offer we could do all the MIT you
can do all the mitzvos you can you can
become very kados very Sanctified and
you can then receive hm's blessing hm's
Bounty for our benefit
as so now we have and that's what we're
holding now historically we're coming
towards the end of
bay so now the says here as follows
we're in the third paragraph of the in
of the starting from the
words and this paragraph
really is the main paragraph the most
important paragraph of the introduction
and it actually contains a very big of
the so let's see
inside towards the end
of became strong they overwhelmed us in
our great sins when when a when a person
is writing a saare wants to lament the
present situation so the the the term
used
is in our great sins this is the
difficulty that we have okay so
says were very great the end
of and because of these
two the bias was destroyed and we went
into GS
oh skip the brackets skip the skip skip
the brackets for for a moment goes
on and since when we're ding every day
should bring us back like he promised in
the Torah and in the to bring us back to
is and bring the Mia and have a third b
mikdash haven't been accepted well so
that's what holding now we're holding in
this very long G the G
of
now is going to go on to explain that we
want to end the gas because now that
we're in gas we can't achieve our
purpose in the world as the explained in
the first two paragraphs so right now
we're just not able to do that we we
can't have the perfect world we can't
have we can't achieve our purpose in the
world so our goal as a nation now is to
do what we can to get back to having a
mikdash so
if the second basik was destroyed
because
of especially lashar so if you want to
undo the G and get back to bikash what
do you have to do you have to stop
speaking lashar that's the main a that's
causing the long gos that's what begins
to say here that's what he's going to
say now this is a big clsh why is this a
biges because if you ask the average
person if you ask the average
why was B destroyed so he quote the gar
to you the gar says in Yuma that the
first base of was destroyed because of
the three very terrible cardinal
sins murder idolatry
immorality and by a shing the gar says
was destroyed because of baseless hatred
hatred for nothing and it doesn't say
anywhere explicitly in any source as far
as as I know and I also as have NE as
far as he knows we'll get that in a few
minutes it doesn't say this anywhere it
doesn't say anywhere it only
says and the comes along and says that
no it's
and that's a big and this is actually
crucial to the whole introduction the
whole point of the he's explaining why
did I write the saer what was my goal
and write in the safer so the is going
to explain he's explaining he's going to
explain that since is the a the main a
that causes the G that keeping the Gus
going if we want to end the Gus we have
to work on stopping
wasar
so so so so therefore thises that is
also a major part of
caus is a crucial component in the's
introduction now the
