Moshiach is Born on Tisha B'Av (4:57) Rav Yitzchak Breitowitz

that was the Bas of mikash so we don't build the base of mikdash by getting rid of mosques that will happen when that is supposed to happen we don't get rid of the base we don't bring the base on mik by physical construction but we build the base of mikash by making our heart and our soul pure making ourselves holy making ourselves a sanctuary you know as the song goes which are famous words from the I build a sanctuary for Hashem in my heart and that is how we build the base on English so what would that mean more specifically well of course kutbi once said a beautiful thought he just said that where does God live so somebody answer well God lives everywhere so the because said well not that's not 100% right God Lives wherever he is welcomed so God is a very uh unassuming guest so to speak if you don't want him he kind of you know goes away you want him he comes so step one to Bringing Hashem into our heart is simply the idea of wanting Hashem to be in our heart you know it's very very interesting there's a everyone knows the uh wellknown gamorra that mashiah is born on Tish there's an explanation from the maral who gives a symbolic understanding of this it is not referring necessarily to the birth day of mashia mashiah might be born you know any day of the year but it means the following it says that the spiritual power that brings mashiah into the world is the degree of Yearning For Gula that we experience anti of the stronger the more Redemption is going to happen R hutner was once asked was the rash of Berlin in in New York for many many years and then sa y he came to Eric isra and he was once asked by somebody is there anything that he missed about someone asked what do you miss about New York so he didn't say uh better pizza places what whatever whatever it would be he said there is one big thing he misses about and that is the yearning to live in AR room and I think in many ways I think oim can understand the profundity of that comment now the saying in English absence makes the heart grow fer is a very very Cru sentiment regarding Eric Israel in many ways when we're not here there is yearning there is Passion there is desire and that in turn creates a certain intensity of love that strangely enough we don't have when we're here here we either take it for granted at best at worst you know we're filled with uh different complaints different resentments in fact I've heard over and over from a number of people that before they made Aliah they felt every Jew has to live in Israel after they make alah they say well you know I no longer push it to the same to the same degree there are actually reasons reasons for that that as well but the point basically is that it's a paradox of human nature that sometimes the most intense love and yearning comes when there's an absence and therefore in many many ways if other are a celebration of our closeness to God this is a period of time when we become aware of our distance from God but in that distance there's the generation of an intense love and yearning not only on our side but on K's side as well and therefore it is through the distance that there is a closeness an unbelievable closeness it is the closeness of the pain of distance and the morale says that is the meaning of the idea that mashia is born of his it is that
