17th of Tammuz 2017 - A Short Message from Rabbi Chaim Mintz

Shas Bas is a very sad day for the Jewish people we're told that five sad things happened and all five things that happened five tragedies have in common one sad idea and that is the separation barriers between God and his people and naturally to us that's about the worst thing that could happen Hashem we want him to be close he's our father he's our King and uh by him separating himself from us that is the greatest tragedy theas were broken broke the the two tablets they brought down with the commandments those Ten Commandments Raj tells us it's like a marriage contract the Jewish people in God are like married together and his wife and theas were like a marriage contract that was giving the main MIT is through theas through the two two tablets and this marriage contract which God promises to give to the Jewish people the Torah and that was broken as if the C was torn up the uh city was broken into the wall was broken down on the way to burn the so that also the city of is a place close to they the they stopped the K T from being brought sacrificed every day they brought a t a sacrifice in the morning sacrifice in the afternoon and was the place that God would live amongst the Jewish people and through the that's how it happened and now they're and also they put a idol in the bikik where he's like the husband and wife the col like we mentioned before and that's the house to live together in imagine that somebody's stranger comes into a person's house that's the biggest separation between the man and the wife somebody else is involved putting a into what a tragedy that was burned the Torah also on Shas that was a terrible tragedy Calamity happened to Isel so these are the naturally that's what and are so uh excited about that keeps us together learning that learning the tah so here we have a day of tragedy one after the other different things happening which shows that separation and God's furthering himself from the Jewish people so this is the sadness of the day and we have to try our the best we can to rectify uh this this this this tragic uh uh separation that we're withness say that especially we're in Gus now all these years and one of them is actually the uh study of Torah we're told that one of the reasons that b mes was destroyed and God sent it the go we weren't studying the Torah enough and we weren't not only not studying it but we didn't show the proper uh and the proper uh uh feeling of of of how the importance how much Torah is to us and uh this is something that we have to try very hard to rectify to study Torah and with WR to realize how great the people are how fortunate we are to have the T the God gave to us no other nation in the world has the tah and this is something that we have to think about also we know that we have to have the right kind of the right kind of feeling to other to a fellow Jew these are the two big a varus that Jews were guilty of them that we have to have Rectify studying Torah and having the right love and connection to Jewish people will bring soon and we'll be able to go back to build and have the proper connection to hasem the the love and the connection that we're so anxious to reinstate by CL is go to everybody [Music]
