Making the Churban Personal! - Passaic 4th of July Community Program

for spicy. >> As I always say, if anyone's looking for kabusas, now some people are freeer in the summer. If you're looking for some kabus and you'd like to add on some learning, please see myself. I'd love to be able to help you. I want to thank Langston for coming out. Eric Chavez on Friday. He also recently just came back from so he gets an extra so he's always behind us and especially as we start this time which is so vital really these are very very al weeks as says it's from So mostly good days that there are so throughout the year. So it's a privilege to have everlasting to help us bring out exactly the good of what we're supposed to focus on in Chicago. Thank you very much Krauss for the warm introduction. It's a great honor to be here. Next time I hope in the new to be with getting into the I'm here today to speak about but it's not what you think or maybe it is what you think but certainly not how we begin. First let me speak about July 4th. July 4th is a very important day in American history. Many are not aware of all the significant occurrences of July 4th. The second president of the United States, John Adams, 50 years to the day from the declaration of independence in 1826, he was nifer on July 4th, his yard. So today is not only not today, but at least the hot bill. It's a muktum. July 4th, Muktum. It's the yard site of the second president of the United States, John Adams. Then came the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. And hours before John Adams died on July 4th, 1826, Thomas Jefferson died on the same day. So, it's also the yard of the third president of the United States. And then comes the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe. And by now, if you're a president of the United States, you might not be so comfortable on July 4th. And sure enough, like the says, like we're going to say in the he also is nif on July 4th, four years later. comes the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor. And after only a year and change in office, he ate something that didn't agree with him the night of July 4th. And in the morning, they already masided the 12th president of the United States. You know, there's an idea The garist says what day was the first mikdash destroyed? The garra brings proof from the that first bdash was destroyed on tisha. Says what about the second b mikdash? The garra says actually we have no evidence that the second b mikdash was destroyed on tisha. It's not recorded anywhere. There's no book. Nowhere does it say it was never recorded that the second was destroyed on tisha. But says the Gomorrah, it's got to be was like a lightning rod of Jewish tragedy. When there is a tragedy to occur, how often it happened during this time of the year, whether it's the three weeks, whether it's the nine days, and especially tishabove, we're all familiar. Spanish Inquisition was on tishabove. World War I broke out on Tishb when I was a kid. I grew up in Flatbush and my bar mitzvah was around this time of the year. My bar mitzvah was shabas the shabas before I was walking to sh with my father. I grew up in M and 31st. You know, Flatbush the Shul I downed in the Avenue. The R there was we're headed to Shul and I look ahead the Shaw wasn't there. The Shul burned down on so this is throughout history. Tishab has been a lightning rod of Jewish tragedy. And on the other hand, there's a concept that there's certain days that are auspicious for Kali Israel. There's certain days that that are auspicious for individuals. There's the the famous gar the garra says that they deposi and they said it can't be raishua it can't beaka who's it going to be aario says the garrau ya on that day was 18 years old says the what do you mean on that day what happened on that what's that day what'sa says it must be it was his birthday it must be it was his birthday. He says and on a birthday a person's masle is strong. So there's a concept there are certain times when our masle is strong there are certain times when our masle is not strong. This is not the best of times. This period of 3 weeks 22 days is certainly not the best of times. I want to speak about what Sam Mikdah should mean to us not only as a community but as an individual and I want to bring to your attention a specific phrase that we're going to say in the kinal the k goes like this these words written by he says as follows over the bikto that was trampled that was stepped upon I will compose every year a new you hear these words rebel saying was from the greatest of the according to he's none other than brings his rebel we're talking about the words of a tan the tano says We need to compose every year a new eulogy. So here's the milliondoll question. Why should we compose a new eulogy, a new elegy every single year? Nothing changed. The story is static. The story is the story. Bikdish was destroyed by Sheni. Whatever happened happened. The story is the story. Why would you impose a new elegy every single year? And yet according to many who was a Tana he he dedicates himself he pledges I will compose and he's we're reading it on his behalf he's saying it in our voice we're saying that every single year we need to compose a new elegy what's the meaning of this let's begin with the gared and it's also the garra a well-known garra tells us about a certain woman who had a young child and the child passed away and this bitter woman would awaken every night in middle of the night and she would weep and she would cry over her very desperate situation. What could be more painful than to hear the cry of a woman mourning her child. Says the Gmorra Ram Gambl lived in her neighborhood and Ram Gaml would awaken when he would hear her cry. He says the Gamarra when Regalia would hear the cry over the woman he would cry opposite her would cry opposite her until the eyelids fell out. says the garra this is the meaning of the that the cry of the woman elicited seemingly to cry over the mikdash it was so disturbing to rang that says the students of had asked the woman to relocate that's the garra that's the medish question why was gam crying over the for mikdash when he heard this woman cry over her personal situation The woman was crying because she lost a child. The woman had very bitter grief. Why did this elicit tears in Ram Gambla? Andra Gifter famously said that from this Gomorra we understand we derive we could glean the following great principle that when you see tragedy in the world when you see difficulty in the world when there's hardship when you fall on hard times with a discerning ear with a a receptive heart you're able to trace back that the root cause of all suffering the root cause of all difficulty the root cause of all tragy This woman's personal tragedy that she lost her child could be traced back to. So when heard the woman cry also cried, but he wasn't crying because she lost the child. Rang was crying over mikdash. In fact, the monker points to the gumarita that says from the time the b mikdash was destroyed, even the physical phenomenon of the universe plummet. Even the taste of fruits are diminished. Every day the curse is more, the difficulties are greater, the challenges increase, fruits don't taste the same. There are many gumas in shast that describe physical phenomenon and physical sensations that have been dulled. What caused it? What triggered it? Which means as bad as life was last week, it was worse last Tuesday. And as bad as it was on Tuesday, it was worse yesterday and it will be worse tomorrow. It just gets worse and worse. He writes this in that means that last year's eleies are now proven inadequate. They don't suffice anymore. They don't do the job anymore. Whatever we said in the kinas last year is not viable anymore. We can't fulfill our obligation anymore. We are required to compose new kinas because as bad as life was last year, it was only able to capture the tragedies until but pal, it's not anymore. It's now and whatever your kinus was able to express last year, it didn't do the job anymore. It's not good enough anymore. It's not good enough. Therefore says the matcher we pledge on an annual basis on an annual every single year we say it seems according to this it seems that according to this idea of we could say that all tragedy could be traced back to which somehow that would mean whatever difficulty a person is encountering whether it's financial, personal, emotional, community, whatever it may be, somehow in some way we could trace it back to and therefore we say I have to say I was never convinced of this. I was never convinced that all difficulty is supposed to be summoned up on tishab and somehow on tishab we're mourning all disaster and tragedy and difficulty and hardship that we encounter and that ever happened. I was never absolutely convinced that from this gamarra we see that all tragedy could be traced back to mikdash and I think it's not unanimously maintained. I want to share with you a very interesting question. The question maybe many have thought on their own. I saw this question articulated very compellingly in the kinos of Rabash Salvich where he asked the question very powerfully. He says if you study the kinos you notice there are many tragedies that we commemorate. There's one particular tragedy that seems to be conspicuously absent on tishb. We don't mention one word about the following tragedy. The Kitki pgrams. There is no reference to the Kitzki pgrams on we mentioned the Crusades. We'll speak about many communities mention the Holocaust. Why is there no Kinus that was prescribed for the Kamalitzki pagrs? He writes I read to you his words. You have it on the sheet. He says, "It's interesting that a fast day was instituted on the 20th day of Sivan by Rabu Tam." You know, Rabenu Tam. I'm not going to take a poll. I'm assuming most of the participants are Ashkanazin. Ashkanazan have an inf inferiority complex because usually if I ask who was the greatest of all the it's a legitimate question who is the greatest of all the most people say the rabb most people say the rabb may even quote who said that by the way the ritzvah was not ashkenazi so The rit was as hard they said but the rush disagreed with that and many disagreed with that and they write explicitly the Russian say was mish and they don't even they don't rank the rama number two they rank the rihazaki number two raid instituted a fast day on the 20th day of for the kanditki pgrams very interesting one but no mention is mentioned on tishab for the pgrams uh that happened in the Ukraine by kanitki salvich asks I do not know why there is no kinus recited on tishb to to commemorate the kamitiski persecutions the kinus that were composed to commemorate the kanitki persecutions and which are recited on the 20th of sib are not set on tab. That's the kasha. However, I found >> what >> he he he instituted the 20th of Siban for a earlier tragedy than the Gibbs. Yeah. If you look in the Ryak Chuba, multiple tragedies happened on 20th of Siban first in the times of Rabenam. But you're correct. Yes. Rabinotam was well before 1648, 1649. So I found the chum and ramosa raosha asks another well-known question. This question is usually attributed to the briskarab for example in the arts world kinis they bring this they bring this question from the brriskarav I don't know where in the writings of the briskarav it's mentioned maybe it's known that it was brought to his attention. Ramosa asked the following question. Ramosha wants to know why is there no fast day ordained for the tragedies of the holocaust? Simple question probably bothers many people. Why don't we have a calendar date to commemorate that 6 million yen perished? So Ra Mosha says an astounding idea. Usually what's attributed to the brisk is that we're not authorized to add like we say in in we're not authorized we have it on the we're not allowed to add to but rather when comes we commemorate all all other Jewish tragedies that's not the answer gives Ramosha says something incredible says not all tragedy could be traced back to tishab. Not every disaster, not every Jewish disaster do we sit on the floor on tishab and fast and mourn because something bad happened to the Jewish people. Says has to be directly connected to tisha. What does that mean? So you see there's a concept that malus inherently belongs to the malus of the malus of is a reflection of the mus. So come the the babylonians come they conquer they usurp the malus of and they take our mouth. their forces. Any disaster perpetrated by the reigning government, namely namely the Babylonians, could be traced back to Tishma. Then the Persians came, then the Greeks came, then the Romans, Cesar Moshe. Anytime a tragedy or a disaster is perpetrated by the reigning government, that is something that we could trace back to cuz after all, they took our mouth and they're using it to harm us. That explains why we don't have a separate day to fast for the Holocaust or many other Jewish tragedies or even the Crusades. And the reason is says because it can all be traced back to it's all a direct result of but the pugs have nothing to do with the pugs weren't perpetrated by the reigning government. They were rebels. They were anti-government, anti-establishment factions. Pgrams has nothing to do with mikdash. Has nothing to do with therefore we don't mention it. Now doesn't say he's coming to answer of salvation's question. But this would be an obvious answer to the question. The reason we don't talk about the kinesiski prams on tishab is the reason why we do talk about the holocaust on tishab because whatever tragedy can directly rationally reasonably be traced back to mikdash we mention we talk about we commemorate on tishabs it was terrible it was disastrous and that's why there's a special calendar date that was ordained to mourn the tragedy of the escape the drums. Well, according to this approach, back to the question, it's hard to say that we can summon and make tishabuff more realistic to us and more meaningful to us because somebody has a specific personal family distress or personal distress or emotional issue and mourn that overshould say that if somebody's personal issue is related to tisha is connected from it's hard to say that it would probably be a little bit more far-fetched. Ramos Mosha says we don't even talk about pugs on tishab I don't think he would reasonably say tishab is the time for a person to mourn personal tragedy in that case then going back to the gamar about raiel why was rag gamiel crying over the form of mikdash he heard this particular woman crying over her child are the two connected or does Scamar perhaps mean something else entirely. So maybe we could suggest a different approach of how we could make tishaba more meaningful to us. Not by mourning and fear feeling sorry for personal tragedy or difficult circumstance but maybe more as a and let me explain there's a kal says as follows on a good day be good on a bad day Look, what does that mean? On a good day, look. On a bad day, so I I mentioned I grew up in Flatbush. So as a I used to walk to Vid Miller for a good three years. I used to walk a very very long distance to hear of Miller. I once heard him say as follows. Here you have a guy here. We'll use the mushroom. He came to aisle one on July 3rd and he had he had a good breakfast. When he walked in, I saw he walked in. He was a little grouchy. He was in a bad mood. He was a little irritated. He was, you know, if anybody would have crossed him, watch out. And somehow he ate his uh bagel and his eggs and his cream cheese and his mood completely changed. He's a happy chaff. He's really in a good mood. So he opens up his sitter and he says, "What should he be thanking Hashem for? Bagels, eggs, cream cheese." But that's not what he said. He added a lot of things to it. He said, "Thank you, Hashem, for brisma. Thank you for Thank you for taking us out of Mr. Thank you for Why is the guy thanking Hashem for brisma? Because he ate a bagel. Why? Because the bagel reminded him of a bris. Okay, he got me on that one. It's a good audience. They wouldn't in many communities they wouldn't laugh like that. You got a brisk spine toyra. Why you thank for toyra? You didn't learn yet. After the shir, maybe you should thank for before the after the bagel. Why you thank for why you thank for why you thank for all of the benefits. We have a whole long night says Miller are utilizing the principle. You see, there's a rule that there's certain things in life we're more in control of than others. We're in control of over our actions. We're not so much in control over our emotions. We do have control, but it's not au like our actions are in our control. So, if you tell a guy, "Thanks for what? It's the middle of the day. It's 2:30. I'm at work. I'm I'm in a bad mood. I'm aggravated. I'm irritated. It's hot. I'm grouchy. I'm crabby. I'm tired. I'm thirsty. I'm dehydrated. I have a little bit of a headache. My throat is a little scratchy. Don't bother me that I should think. I'm not in good mood. But after the guy ate a bagel and he's happy and he's feeling content and he's in a good upbeat positive mood because he's full. Say you're in a happy mood now. Don't waste the opportunity. Channel your feelings of happiness, contentment, and gratitude. And utilize the moment as an opportunity to thank Hashem. teaches on a good day, utilize it to be good. Utilize it to thank Hashem. Utilize emotions that maybe ordinarily are not in your control, but now you're happy. Channel it to thank for all the things you would always want to thank him for. Jacob hasn't seen Y for 22 years. He's running to see his long lost son. He thought he was dead. Or Andu what does he do? He says you think if there was a parenting course you know in 2026 they they bring some expert about how to bond with your child. You think that would be recommended practice that they would advise the father. You know you haven't seen your on visiting day. Imagine that. you know, on visiting day. You haven't seen your kid in two whole days, you know, and he's called on the hour since then. Now, just kidding, you haven't seen your child in a long time. You can say, "What was doing?" So, the Mar says that that was a moment of overwhelming that Yakabino had. He hasn't seen his beloved child in 22 years. His heart at that moment was pulsating with the mid and the Jacobu thought I can't waste the opportunity. I have the opportunity now to the mitzvah of aasm maybe on an at an ordinary at an ordinary time I wouldn't be able to summon forth the ava from the depths of my heart. But at this moment when the wellsp springsings of Aba are open wide, I'm going to channel it. I'm going to harness it towarde. Friends, this is an exceptionally important in life in general. You got to use good times, capitalize on good times, to thank Hashem, to love Hashem, to have feelings toward that perhaps ordinarily you wouldn't be able to summon forth and vice versa. to tell somebody, "Get down on the floor right now. Turn on the wellsp springs of tears and start crying bitter tears for the ba mikdash." Not everybody could do that. We're not all on that level. I'm an emotional guy. I I don't have a hard time crying. Some people, they can't cry. They can't cry. They can't do it. But there are things in life that could make a person sad or upset or hurt. When a person is feeling wounded, when a person is feeling hurt, when a person is feeling sad, don't waste the opportunity, Hashem is giving you a gift. If for whatever reason the person is in his house and he hears the cry of someone crying over personal tragedy is it perhaps possible that Ram Gam was utilizing this principle of he hears the woman crying what's more painful than hearing a woman cry over her child says I'm not going to lose the opportunity I'm going to capitalize on the moment I'm going to harness this to be able to cry Pride over the I think this could be very helpful for all of us during the three weeks. Everybody has things that they struggle with. Everybody has circumstances, situations, difficulties, hardships in one way or the other. And we go on with our day. We go on with our life. But sometimes if you think about it a little bit and you could allow it to put you in the frame of mind and have a little shiny hal and then channel it toward it could be a very realistic way to have genuine feelings of aos by utilizing other situations. So even according to where technically speaking not every difficulty could we say is directly traced back to but still it could be used as a to help us more in the B mikdash Dr. Dr. Mhler knew that already, right? But I want to share with you something uh something new, a very interesting m I guess that in about a week ago, I thought would just be a second part of this year, but driving here this morning, I think it's we'll be able to tie this all together very beautifully. The year was 1988. It was Zian Thomas. Shalom. Yashu received a letter from Raimas Herzka. Rimas Herzka wrote the letter on the nth day of Siban. It came to rebel about a month later. The idea was it's already 50 years since the Holocaust. Nothing has officially been ordained. Not the rest of the year. in Tishab where Clus could gather together and mourn the devastation the destruction of the 6 million. Rebel Yashu was posed with the following question. Good idea or bad idea to establish that all of us gathered together and recite kinos to commemorate the holocaust. That was the shilamos tshin meas rebel yashu said it's a great idea. It's a very important idea. We should learn from the president of our forefathers that they added kinos for the crusades for the years tatu in 1096. But says we don't have the capacity to ordain that every single say the same kinos. We don't have the power to do that. We don't have the capacity to do that. So each kahila should choose an appropriate version and appropriate liturgy to say to commemorate the holocaust. So listen carefully to us said he said it's fundamentally good idea. We don't have the ability to ordain one uniform kinus for everyone. Each should accept upon themselves what whichever kinus is appropriate for them. It's now a month later. It's it's the stipler. At the lev of the stifler bur turns to aliashab's son and he says I want you to know cannot contain himself anymore. I don't know if it's going to be today. I don't know if it's going to be tomorrow. I don't know if it's going to be a month from now. But he is not pleased with the new fangled practice of at the end of the kinus everyone takes out their special booklet or pamphlet or papers or settle and says a kin for the holocaust. Rapshak thinks this is destroying Kalis and he's going to say something and the only reason is what Burman told the son Rebel Yasha the only reason he hasn't said anything until now is cuz he heard that your father came out in support of it but I'm just warning you it's inevit you know they asked do you make said, "One you for sure sayshak was the most powerful." Yeah. Sure enough, at the end of the Shiva of the stipler going, they had his Bam and Panovich and Rshach got up to speak and his hesit on the stipler was look where the world has fallen in the absence of the stipler. Look how life has plummeted. We have all these new fangled kahilis and they can't help themselves at the end of the kinas. They're opening up their papers, their setluffs, their book booklets, and they're saying a new kenna for the Holocaust. Today it's this. Tomorrow will be the next and before you know it, it will destroy Judaism. If only we had the stifler. The stifler would have been that was the Rash gave for the stifler. After a short amount of time, Rabbi Yosh sent his grandson to Rabshak to show Rabshak a chuva that rebel yash wrote about a similar situation. The question the shy was none other than the caliber. The caliber was known as one of the great abim over the he asked alash if we could institute that son after alenu. They say that everyone should have to say that and as they say that they should have in mind they're giving up their life. So he sent this question to Rabbi Yash and Rabbi Yash said to the eminent Rebal who can't rest because he's always tormented by the memory of the he says you know that after the Holocaust they petition the to establish a fast date to commemorate the Holocaust and the Khaz was vehemently against establishing a new calendar date to mourn the Holocaust. So similarly we are not allowed to ordain any specific recitation in our generation. Furthermore says this that you say that we should say I don't know what that means. I don't know what you're talking there's no source in. So rebel yash sent his grandson to show ribb that rebel yash also doesn't support new enactments. He didn't support even everyone having a specific kabana at a part of ding that maybe is in the anyway but ra asked his grandson to show the following passage in the safer sedar hay. You know the safer the safer was written by Mosha bak actually wrote a new in a way it's the new the newest in our whole liturgy and I'm pretty confident every person in this room says every day he composed the following because I'm going to ask it I mean do what's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning what's the first I don't Maybe maybe composed the following. It's a new 500 years old. He composed that. That's where it comes from. But writes in the what should aid do on he says he said after you read the take off your shoes for read something that arouses sorrow whatever book you want read until your eyes pour tears Start to cry over the cry over the joy of the city says. If you know how to say kinus, you should say kinus. Whether they're kin that are already written or that you yourself compose based on the wisdom Hashem gave you there's a mitzvah on every individual to compose kenim the he the lime If you compose a ka to say you'll be called from the mourers of if you're not capable of doing it so say what it already says in the book. So sent his grandson to tell that in general revel is against any new enactments. It just happens to be that regarding kinis the say says that it's ideal to write your own kinus. It's only if you're not capable of composing kinas should you say what it already says. So rabos's grandson said this tosh was silent. Rabio's grandson is walking out of Rashad's house and he hears someone calling him from upstairs. It was Rash's grandson. Rash's grandson says, "Come back here. I want to tell you something." Roshak said that what's what do you bring from the sed is just saying that each on their own as a y should say a particular ka but the doesn't say that all of should say's ka orn's ka or reuer's ka He's saying as a not as a we can't ordain it as a to which Yosh's grandson responded Yoshib never said that all of Israel should say the same ka he said each respective kahila should choose something personal to them and that's what they should say but it occurred to me that perhaps as a support to rebel yashu's idea that even though in general we don't add to be mice We don't change from even in the smallest things. Perhaps though when it comes to kinus it's a little bit different. You see when it comes to kinos the itself says you see when it comes to the it's understood that the situation changes annually it gets worse annually and therefore the tana who composed the kina who ordained that because the situation is is fluid. It's a fluid situation. It gets worse and worse every year. So it's not considered deviating from the messiah to perhaps mention new tragedy since it already says in the you know it's a little bit similar to there's a famous when it talks about discusses how made the first how made certain changes you know he made added he made added and ask how is allowed to add or change from what it says in so says that the communicated how to make the first but asked that's not good enough even if told personally do it differently he's not going to do it differently So Samra says no. See if you look carefully in the para it says the way that reads the P is Hashem is saying I am going to show you at a future time how to make certain differences when it comes to the first B mikdash. So the pus itself already gives an opening has an allowance that stay tuned for further details. Perhaps similarly when it comes to the kos the was ordained in a way where the says that this is something that we need to be I'm going to segue into uh another har uh a har on the gumar and the suga of kamar. Well, we we'll conclude with this and we'll come back to how we started. The garra tells us that because of that account of that episode. So the Romans sent Neroes and Neroes comes to Ushalam and he throws an arrow to the east, to the west, to the north, to the south, whatever directiones throws his arrow. They all go toward he comes to a child and he tells the child, "Tell me what you're learning." So the child said, "What I'm learning is Hashem is going to allow Adam to destroy." Then Hashem's going to wipe the floor with them. So Nero says Hashem wants me to do his dirty work and then he's going to punish me. The Gumar says and then the says back to the regularly scheduled story. So they had to find another general. So they sent Aspacos and then he was made the emperor. So he sent the Santitos and the rest is history. It always bothered me why does the gamarra inject in middle of the story of the forbidden about Nero mayor. It almost seems like we cannot tell you the whole story until you know the following little tidbit of information. Rev. Mayor is here. Okay, you good? Now, let's continue. Why does the Gamarra throw in that seemingly random little tidbit? This time of the year, I think last year we spoke about Yeshua. Aside from the fact that it's a time of it's also a time to yearn for the coming of Messiah. In which city will Messiah reveal itself? So the garra says in Russashana that the san made 10 stops corresponding to that the made 10 stops last stop the garra telling us that msiach will reveal itself in the city of taria asks that if you look in the desire says mashia will reveal itself in the golan. So how does that how do you reconcile that with the garra? The says desire is telling you the general area but the garra is giving you more specific details. It will be specifically in the city of taria. So the yada and the garra wants to know why not why not why not ker you know why not for the city of see here they don't laugh. It's good. See they know when to laugh. says quoting one of the mubalam rabac sha nino in the safer ms many times I've said this over from the safer msakov and inevitably one of the grandchildren of kaminski contacts me and he wants to know where did my say this I said no no no not that this is shall non quoted many times he's also from He says in the end of days is going to come to redeem the Jewish people and the nations of the world are going to say them. Why do they deserve it? They're not any better than us. And in the end will not really have a great argument other than the fact that is going to say but they are my beloved children. And the go who are they're going to say what do you mean we don't ask in that way isn't that like that are only considered your beloved children when they're and the cloud is in the when you have like so how could you say you're redeeming them because they're your beloved children they're therefore they're not you can't redeem them. So Hashem's going to say no the says that even though we're nearly we don't pass like regarding the bonim we pass like so say good for the chuba you know that's great that the chuba says it but we're the on there's a cloud when you're the on someone you could say kimley kimy means I hold like the minority of you so the said we don't hold like the chas we and only so you can't redeem them. But there's one exception to the rule of kiml in the place of the is like the is the rab is of invaria the isma. Therefore, Tavaria is the city where the Trump could redeem us without any glitches, without any problems, without any accusations. Because in Tavaria, there's no question we pass. There's a rule always creates the Rafu before the Maka. Never will Hashem be like, if you're learning and you're reading the story of the and you're reading how Hashem sent into motion 2,000 years of gull, the longest, darkest, worst gul we were ever in. The says, "Well, wait one second. Wait one second. Before aspar even comes into your I just want you to know one thing. See this guy Nero Kesar Arach the aal theakor the mardas of from which Msiah will come. I created the rafu and now we can create the maka. What a glimmer of hope that opens up for us by being perceptive to that one little detail as an to the ofd. Isn't it interesting writes that when when Jacob was coming back to Israel and Asa reared his ugly head and Jacob was coming toward Asa Kan brings from the pre-enactment of the Mashiah. Jacob coming back was the return of the Jewish people before the coming of Messiah. And it says what does Rashi say? Jacob was scared not lest he kill lest he kill others and all the why doesn't Rashi just say of it says the closena he says there are many many there are at least a good dozen that say this based on the gar what was the name that they gave ra is called who did ram come from Jacob's returning he understands his return is reflective of the mashik he knows that the salvation of the Jewish people in the end of days is the fact that we're scared if he kills and then there's no for and the end of the gul. So Jacob was afraid she a even though great happened in the month of Av but don't forget the simple meaning of the whole month a means and in the end of the day we're still and if we're then one day he's going to bring us back he's going to redeem us he's going to be us he's going to rebuild the Mikdash the writes is oi is the month of the sign the symbol of the month of is in other words even though seems like a lousy month it seems like that's only on the outside on the inside a will be a very good monk as The month of will be a month of tremendous will be I'll end off with a following astounding observation. You look at this week's para, it's a par of all the pesasher sukis and in between each which means there's only nine letters of space. There's only nine letters of space between but between and it's a par it's open till the next line what's going on over here between it's basically closed just nine letters of space but between and it's completely open why is it open there it's as if says the Tory is saying we're leaving it open for a y that's going to be added during this between shabas and rash namely believe that the month of May would be to see that and hear me. Amen.
