okay so uh as you know for the past uh
few weeks we've been doing uh PR Vu and
we at least initially finished that M
then we did khaka uh for two weeks and
although uh there's much more to say
about khaka but since khaka is now
passed I'll leave that maybe for next
year uh so what I want to talk about
today
ises uh but again because this is a sh
and I often say uh this is not you're
not here for inspiration those who want
inspiration uh maybe you can go to my
Tuesday night share or the many other
good shorum that are given here uh we
basically focus on
analytical so I do want to speak about
uh a very very
interesting aspect of aares that makes
it very unique we know that in the
Jewish calendar there are four fast days
during the year that are connected to
theik uh and I'm going to mention them
in the chronological order of their
currence even though there are different
parts of the calendar uh assara betes is
the first
event connected to
theik because on the 10th of T is
when and the
Babylonians began a Siege against
jeruselam that culminated three years
later on the nth of with theb bik so
this is the the earliest stage The Siege
around
jerus in the bay now let me point out
that as far as I
know has no corresponding event for theb
meaning is only the badrian unlike the
ninth of of now the second event is the
fast of the 17th of
thamos now here it actually is a bit
complicated because
uh one of the reasons why we fast in the
sevenes of Tas
was at the end of The Siege the enemy
broke into the
City and got control of the city however
the gamoran Titus
explains that the 17th of tamos is when
the Romans broke into yush at the time
of the Corbin B Shen during theb Reon
the nvi says it was the nth of Tas so in
reality we ought to have a fast both on
the ninth of Tas and on the 17th but the
gamar says Kaz didn't want to make too
many fast days that are close together
although we do have some G in yum Kipper
yeah that's true but they didn't want to
do this uh and therefore as a result we
only commemorate the second Corban
so is the beginning of the siege for
theb
sh
is the city was broken into theb byen
for the Bas Reon it was the ninth of Tas
then of course we have uh
Tish which is the anniversary of both
theban Reon and theban B Shen which were
exactly
490 years apart meaning from the first
horban to the second hban is 490 years
because there was the 70 years of the
Babylonian exile then 420 years of the
bay sheni and the last of the B mikdash
fastes is the fast of Galia which once
again is only connected to the bayad
Rishon and not to the Bay sheni that
after theban and after the Exile a small
number of Jews were permitted to remain
in AR Israel under the
leadership of Galia Ben aikam and for
many Jews this was a glimmer of hope
that perhaps Hashem will allow the Bas
of mikdash to re re re be rebuilt very
soon and when Galia was
assassinated that was the nail in the
coffin meaning how many months that was
only well the Corbin was um Tish Galia
was assassinated actually according to
most SHO on Ro following that Tish so it
was less than two months later and the
reason we we fast on the third of Tish
is simply because um you're not allowed
to fast on rashash but technically galik
was killed on rashash itself and two
months after theban but once again just
like a has nothing that corresponds to
the Bay cheni s Galia also has nothing
connected to the Bay cheni so shivas so
Tish of course is both Bas re and B
sheni shivas
bamos is technically B cheny but we also
think about badria which was the ninth
of Tas uh but the first of the fast days
the 10th of Taves and the last of the
fast days are only connected to bayad
Ron not bayad sheny now aor is the most
unusual of all of our tesm and in fact
we're going to experience it this year
uh because it is the only fast day in
which we actually fast on Friday we know
of course that we don't fast on chabas
even for Tish only for Yam Kipper which
is a DOA uh but normally the Jewish
calendar is such that the other fast
days never fall out on Friday asares is
the only one that we actually fast on
Friday which is very unusual there's
another peculiarity of aaras which is
based on the civil calendar it is the
only fast day where you could have uh
two of them in a single civil year
meaning to say because a because of the
leap years and the like you could have
let's say a SAS in one year early in
January like this year and next year it
might be in late December so as a result
in a single calendar
year is that is that the case this year
Aus for 2025 is is um okay so you can
actually have a January December so it's
the only Jewish holiday where you can
have two of them in a single secular
year but again that's not important
Hally but that's an interesting
curiosity but in terms of fasting on
Arab shabas it's an interesting thing
because normally the same way you're not
supposed to fast on chabas there
actually is a you're not supposed to
fast on Arab chabas and the reason is
because we don't want you to enter
shabas in a state of starvation or
feeling deprived because that itself
takes away from the on Shabbat that you
begin shabas in a state of deprivation
it is true that there are you're not
supposed to eat a lot on Friday that
happens to be true also so you should
enter shabas having a good appetite but
it's also true that you don't enter
shabas in a state of deprivation and
fasting exception is aorus now all of
this is well known and indeed this year
we're going to experience it but there's
a remarkable Kes from Ravid aam
theam lived in Spain in the uh in the
1400s was one of the great early Aon or
maybe late rehon him how you classify
him who wrote much onila and the like
the safer abam is still a very masterful
collection of both perim and Halos onila
on the Jewish calendar all sorts of
aspects on when do you join paros
together when do you separate them all
of those details of the Liturgy and the
aam is brought in all hak sources and
the abam
says the following KES not only do you
fast on Friday but if the tent of T
would fall out on
chabas if it would fall out on chabas
you would even fast on
chabas now this is as they say an
untestable
proposition and the reason is an
untestable proposition is that based on
the Jewish calendar and the days that
rashash can f out remember rashash the
first day of rashash can never fall out
on a Sunday on a Wednesday or a Friday
that's called Low I now based on that
that's going to affect automatically
when any of the other holidays could
fall because once rashash cannot fall
out on three days of the week and then
you look at the lengths of the months
that's automatically going to affect
every other YT as well and it happens to
be a can never fall out on chabas so as
a result the aam is making what you
might call an untestable hypothesis uh
and he's saying okay it can't fall out
on chavas but if it could you would even
fast why is that so so he quotes he
derives this from a verse in the now
remember Yi lived at the same time as y
Ani the time of the mikash but remember
that was in and he was of course an
eyewitness to
the had been exiled to B 11 years
earlier there was an earlier wave of
Exile so Jesco was in B at the time so
Hashem told him in B when theader began
The Siege on the tenth of Tas in Eric
Israel he told them prophetically and
the Jewish people in Bubba were not
aware of this yet
write down this very day this very day m
b is beginning his
Siege against
jerus so the abam argues that since is
described with the
appal on that very day we actually
derive that that day is in Violet that
day must be observed no matter what that
day must be observed as a tanit even if
it would fall out on chabas which makes
it the same as yum ker now initially
this is a little bit peculiar because
there's no question whatsoever that the
fast of Tish is much much stricter than
the fast of a if for example you're not
feeling well you have an upset stomach
you have a very serious headache I'm not
giving you blanket Hatcher but there may
be a lot of leniency to permit you to
break the assar fast for the ninth of a
it would have to be much more serious so
in terms of which is a more fast there
is no question that the ninth of a is
much more than the 10th of T and yet if
the ninth of a falls out on chabas we
push it off to Sunday we don't fast on
shabbats only yum ker yum Kipper of
course is different that's a Torah
requirement so why would a be so severe
that it could override even the
chabas Tish itself does not override
chabas even though Tish is a much more
stricter fast so there's a very
interesting
explanation from R Sal R
brisker and brisker says the following
idea he says
normally we should actually
fast anytime a fast happens in shabas
because it's a Mitzvah in other words
even though chabas is chabas if there's
a Mitzvah to fast we should fast like
him Kipper he says the reason we
don't is precisely because there's a
makeup possibility meaning it's a little
different than the way we look at it the
normal way we look at it is like this we
say oh you're not allowed to fast on
chabas therefore you have to make it up
the next day R says he reverses the
cause and effect since you have a
makeup then don't fast on shabas because
you don't have to because this is a
makeup fast so
says since the words
be canote that this is not a makeup fast
it must be on this day
so if I were not to fast on
chabas I wouldn't do it at
all you fast on chabas you
see is that you have to ask yourself if
I don't fast today could I fast tomorrow
if I could fast tomorrow then I
shouldn't fast on
chabas but if I can't fast tomorrow so
if I don't fast on chabas I'm not going
to have the F at all in such a situation
it's even and
therefore teaches us again this doesn't
yet give a reason but B teaches us that
the tent of Tes is not a make makeup
fast it's not a
makeable replacement therefore if you
wouldn't fast on shabas you would lose
the
Mitzvah so in order not to the we allow
you to fast on
chabas the
nth where the
words are not used and therefore you can
make it up the next day so we don't
Kipper is different but we don't fast on
the ninth of because you can make it up
meaning you you don't instead of saying
I don't fast and therefore I will make
it up you got to work the other way
around if I can make it up then I don't
fast and that which I cannot make up so
if I don't fast on chabas I'm not going
to do it at all I fast on chabas this
is that it is much to fast on
chabas if it is a fast day that does not
have
tashin that means a fast day that cannot
be made up so if I don't do it today I
will not be able to do it later such a
fast day even overrides chabas and the
only fast day that does not override
chabas is a fast day which um you're
does not override chabas if you are uh
not able to make it up right so not able
to make it up it override chabas if I
can make it up then it does not override
chabas yeah
yeah yeah so the question the question
is okay again as I said this does not
get this does not yet give a reason
why
is I'll address that a little later that
is a good question and we'll come to it
yeah
if you had a bad dream on Friday night
yeah yes that's that's one exception and
I'll come back to that too there is a
rule that if a person had a frightening
dream and the is although many people
don't do that today that one is uh
supposed to fast today we generally give
Stucker but there is a law in the book
so to speak that one fasts in order that
hasem should cancel a negative dream so
the is a tinest
you are allowed to have to do even on
chabas itself if you had a frightening
dream Friday Friday night but the is
very a little unusual here that you then
have to have another fast during the
week as an atonement for the sin of
fasting on
chabas uh I would just CAU you don't
schedule the second fast on chabas
because then you're gonna have to keep
on going
uh so this is a strange idea where on
one hand you are allowed to fast on
shabas
for and at the other hand you still need
a certain atonement for fasting on
shabas now it's recorded that people
remember the they remember a number of
times had many kind of prophetic dreams
was actually a big dreamer in that sense
and his dreams were meaningful dreams
and people remember at times that did
not eat on shabat and he said it was
because of
a now I don't want to get into all of
that maybe we'll devote a share to it
some other time uh but Titus khom is
still something that can be practiced
but by and large we don't necessarily
encourage it that much because for many
of us uh extra fast days make it
difficult to Davin make it difficult to
learn Torah so spiritually you might be
losing more than you're gaining so we
courage giving STA and one other
possibility that's very interesting is
something called a Tanis debor have you
heard of a Tanis debor that's where you
don't talk that day now for some people
they'll say listen I'll give up the food
I as long as I can talk you know which
which is harder uh but they say a Tinus
debor is actually a creates a greater
kapara than a Tinus even from food
yeah yeah is also a special prayer that
you say some do in front of three people
like a bon I think the the uh at least
the newer art scroll sitter has a
ceremony and uh in if you remember
during which is only recited
in only during the of so between the
verses there's a prayer Reon shal asking
Hashem to make my dreams into good
dreams uh however uh that's said in the
problem is that in actually not all of
but in and a lot ofel where Basim is
recited every day there's no spacing
there's no uh time to say the rebon sh
so no you don't because because when the
kohanim are actually saying the bras you
don't say
anything you talking about
so no no so what they so what they do is
what they T to do is that in the of Y
in they do sing between theuk so you
have the same chance to say
Theon as somebody
in that that's the reason why you'll
notice that uh not everybody does that
but but you'll notice that even even
in on the mus of Y theim do sing and
that allows me to say the rebon so uh
you don't gain the rebon by daily but at
least you don't lose them you get to say
it the same number of times that you
would say it
in yeah
yeah yeah so the question would be that
you know uh many people have a Min to
fast on the art side of a parent this is
actually in the gamar itself such a
custom and let's say a person Mish made
AA or at least they've already done so
three times in a row which Hally turns
it into a vow and then the next yard
site is on chabas so would you fast on
shabus if it is a a y site so the H
actually is yes and and the principle
basically is that once you started a
series of fasting meaning if shabas
would have been the first y site you
would not but once you established a
pattern then even if shabas comes in
such a situation you do fast so that
would be a second example of of of
fasting on on on chabas okay uh
yeah the
yeah yeah that's correct in other words
that's correct in other words if if
someone's yard site is on a day where
you're not supposed to fast every year
in other words the yite is porin the Y
site
is the side is even to Bish so in such a
situation you don't fast uh but this is
a different situation this is a
situation where it is a day that you do
fast except it happens to be on chabas
so there the is once you had begun the
pattern uh you continue
it which
about yeah yeah so so the short answer
is the short answer is that uh yeah the
question is why why would any fast ever
override chabus except for yum Kipper
given the fact that chabas is a Torah
Commandments and all of these fast days
are rinic so why would a Rabon and
override so the truth of the matter is
that the the eer of fasting on chabas is
also technically Rabbi it's from the
prophets it's derived from yes so it
actually is not a DOA in in that way now
I want to mention
aasha that people ask in again go
over is that if the fast is movable you
don't fast on chabas if the fast is not
movable then you could fast
on is not movable because
of therefore if you couldn't fast on
chabas you wouldn't observe it at all
therefore you can fast on
chabas which is a movable fast so if I
don't fast on chabas I can fast on
Sunday it then becomes user to fast on
chabas now here is the ction this is a
Kasha from a in
M the gar in Milla recounts uh a story
about rebi rebi of course is the is the
moncher for RAB Yehuda hanasi who is the
compiler of the mishna one of the great
great sikim as well and it says rebi
decided one year to get rid of Tish he
wanted to abolish the fast of the nth
of so the gamarra says the following the
gamarra says how could he do that the
ninth above what do you mean how could
rebi did not live when the rebi lived
after the barev things were not not so
great that either it wasn't mashia so
the gamar explains that the case was
Tish fell out on chabas that
year and it was Reb's position that if
you're not gonna
fast on the correct
date you shouldn't fast at all in other
words unlike the we Tish is a movable
fast rebi said you have as rebi made
Tish like a reie took the position the
fast must be on the ninth above we don't
pass like rebby of course and the fast
is not on the ninth of therefore you
don't observe it at all now the question
is if you think about this Rim's
logic words what what does the
since it's chabas and you can't fast on
chabas therefore you don't fast on
Sunday that's what the gor means that
rebbi want to get rid of Tish that if
you're not gonna fast on chabas then
don't fast on Sunday but like
R the opposite should have been the case
if you're not able to fast on Sunday you
should fast on chabas meaning the gamar
seems to posit that not fasting on
chabas is a given
so we pass in if it falls out on chabas
fast on Sunday rebi says no if it falls
out on chabas you don't fast at all but
wait a second like
ra the logic should be if you're not
gonna fast on the wrong date instead of
saying you skipped tiub that
year you should have said fast on
chabus so Eli what do you see from the
gamar you see from the gamar that even
when a fast is not a makeable up fast
such a word you still don't fast on
chabas it's the opposite of R's logic
of you see in other
words R wants to learn any fast that you
can make up you don't fast on chabas any
fast you cannot make up you do fast on
shabas According to rebi which we don't
pasin like you cannot make up Tish if
it's not going to be on the ninth above
you don't fast but the gamar says
therefore there was no he he didn't want
there to be a fast at
all yeah no only when it fell on that's
what the gamar says the gamarra explains
the gamarra explains that when when when
it says
RI wanted
to abolish Tish he meant he wanted to
abolish when Tish falls out on shabas
but like ra which should have happened
was he should have said you fast on sh
so here we have a
further aend
to from
the was
May is actually named
after he had no surviving children he
had one daughter who died in the
lifetime of uh himself and the Ritson
and uh
is a tremendous tremendous God even Sal
who himself was godor considered to
beor
and adds the following glass
to Tish above is very different than a
primarily because it is a
24hour
fasting so the or wants to say the
following when then you have a
24hour fast on chabas in which you're
totally taking away on
chabas then it's an absolute
rule that you don't fast on chabas so
therefore the make makeup versus
non-makeup is not going to be relevant
for 24-hour fast therefore Tish above
which is a 24hour fast you will never
fast on chabas no matter what so
happened to pasin it's a makeup days you
do it on Sunday but even Reby who said
you can't make it up would still say you
can't fast on chabas because it's 24
hours as a result rebi would say there
would be no Tish above that
here which is not a 24-hour fast so even
if you fast on chabas you're not totally
depriving yourself of pleasure because
you can have a meal Friday night so
there we say if it's a makeup fast if it
can make it up you shouldn't fast on
chabas even in the day if you couldn't
make it up theam says you could which
means the that ra makes between a fast
that you can make up and a fast you
cannot make up is only going to be
relevant on a partial day fast it's not
going to be relevant on a 24-hour fast
this is so if you combine the two
together so let's take something like
Shas in fact this is Mas an interesting
kha really G because here's the thing
you know of course that the fast of the
17th of
Tas is
always the same day of the
week as Tish above three weeks
later now if it was re's
position that if Tish falls out on
chabas since you don't fast on chabas
you don't fast on
Sunday then he should have said the same
thing by the 17th of tamas that if you
don't fast on shabbath you don't fast on
Sunday why does the gamar say it was
only Tish that he was canceling and not
Shiva
sbas the answer is since Shiva seramas
is not a
24-hour fast so even if rebi would not
push it off to Sunday
he then would have allowed it to be done
on
chabas again we don't P that either
because we P you can always make it up
on Sunday but his position is you can't
now there's his position is you can't
make up the fast
days so the question becomes so for Tish
above that means you're not going to
fast at all when it falls out on chabas
for Shas it means you're going to fast
on chabas just like Aus and that's why
the l of the gamarra that he wanted to
get rid of Tish only applies to Tish it
does not apply to the 17th of of Thomas
yeah started the
what no that that's in the gamar itself
the gamar itself
gen well uh it's in it's it's the
Mish that
says that when Tisha falls out on chabas
we push it off to to Sunday so the idea
of a is brought down by the way
yeah every
everything no no we we push off
everything we we push off everything uh
all of theim of Tish go to Sunday the
only thing is some say that matters that
are totally private like Tash which is
forbidden on Tish you wouldn't do on on
chabas either but any anything that's
public you push it off to to to Sunday
um yeah so so this is uh so we're
combining two variables here uh I'm
sorry
yeah right after the fast dat on the
11th of
T you're fast you supposed to f two days
in a
row
well I'm asking because it happens to be
my I don't but I think my
son generally
speaking yeah generally speaking we do
not encourage two consecutive fast days
if one feels they're able to do it they
can do it but we would not we would not
consider that an obligation especially
this year since it comes out on chabis
yeah yeah especially so yeah yeah but
even even if it's during the week
uh we would not encourage two fast days
in a row now you know it's interesting
on one hand the gamor itself records the
Min of fasting on the yard site on the
other hand as you knowum in
particular uh make a big thing they
bring schnaps and they bring uh Herring
and like now some do both sometimes the
balard side brings all sorts of stuff
and the balard side fasts he fasts and
he brings a lot of food for people to
make
brosan ELO
what did I hear once
uh just free I'm free associating here
but I I once read an absolutely
heartbreaking heartbreaking story about
a man who was on his deathbed and his
family wanted him to see a rabbi and he
didn't want to see a rabbi he says I
don't care about Judaism I don't care
about rabbis and somehow I think sh got
into him and the man told him a story
the man was in his
90s the man said 80 years
ago I lost my father I had no father I
was just a kid and I came to sh to say
Kadesh for my father's and his father's
Y and after sh some guy went over to me
and said what type of kid are you he
didn't even bring a bottle of schnaps
you didn't bring any
hering and the kid came from a poor
family he literally you know didn't
didn't have it didn't have it and he
said he was so humiliated he was so hurt
he says he ran out of sha he went to his
room he sobbed the whole day his mother
can get him out and he made a
nether he would never walk into a sh
again and he had not gone to show even
on yum Kipper for whatever 80
years the the beautiful ending there's a
actually beautiful ending of the story
that somehow the sh was to reach him and
he made a reconciliation with Hashem
before he died but think about a story
like that think about these words that
we don't you know we don't even think
mean anything how much they could hurt
somebody how much they could destroy
somebody and how much sensitivity we
have to have I mean really the kid said
he subbed and he made a n he would never
walk into sh
what Happ to the man
that listen I um not not so good you
know I don't want I don't wish I don't
wish bad on anyone but uh
yeah yeah decided to walk into to see
what like he sat down three PE said
you're sitting in my seat he said I
didn't walk into a for 30 years yeah
yeah it happens a lot this thing about
makum Kaba this is actually a big thing
I mean you know I've been under
receiving ends myself for many times
can't sit here sit here sit here sit
here you know Etc and it leaves a very
bad taste in the mouth I I know that
some rabbis actually make announcements
not in Yesa so much but they make
announcements that anyone who sits in
your seat you let them sit in your seat
and do not make do not make any issue
about it
whatsoever and I think that's largely a
wise uh very very wise AG because uh
okay but things to think about the you
know it's true that Ding in a Mak kava
is aor it's it's it's totally proper but
you got to think about in all of these
things you got to think about the pain
the embarrassments the discomfort uh and
the truth of the matter is whatever
you're gaining by your H Mitzvah of
daving in you're more than losing by the
pain that you're causing other people
yeah
okay yeah yeah you know held that this
was even true ding for the this is
sometimes a source of fighting uh let's
assume that you have a yard site or
whatever let's say two people have a
yard site u and sometimes they fight
over who should do it or one is in schlo
and one
[Music]
ises or whatever it is
said that if you want to
bring to your mother to your father
whatever it is making
Shalom is and
avoiding is a much
greater than whatever you gain by daving
for the or saying kades if that's going
to cause so you always have to look at
what will create the greatest amount of
Shalom because after all why why do why
do you DAV for the why do you say Kadesh
why do you do all of these things it's
not St to be on show it's because you
want to do something that will Elevate
the Nish of the
nter so how are you going to elevate the
Nish of the nifter through bitterness
and mlus and animosity so you give up
you give up even if it's uh and know
important to you but if you see that the
other person is going to get very very
upset you be on it and uh that's a very
good I think it's a very good rule of
thumb uh for us to for us to follow same
thing with weddings all sorts of things
who should walk down the aisle you know
they askov the askov keski once he says
um what's what's the proper Min you know
should the should the be the two fathers
and the Kal of the two mothers or should
it be mother father mother father and
they asked rakov how did you do it so he
said three times one way and three times
the other way he says he says whatever
whatever The Wanted is what I did I
didn't I never made an issue over it
again that's important to think about
how the gdan lived their lives that all
of the things that we fight over and we
don't make all sorts of issues all right
in the larger scheme of things they're
just not that important also people
should not because they don't do well
they don't know how to
sing
um you know it's
a you know it's an interesting question
some
some actually have a
rule that if a if a b
is he does not D he does not
automatically D for the because maybe he
can't D so well or whatever would be and
he says Kadesh and the like so some some
you some places do have such a rule that
you have to be tested
out you're talking about even shab even
sh doesn't have on
shabus even during
the oh just generally people
[Laughter]
that well okay that's uh yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah well uh
yeah okay no there there there's a Blog
that actually writes reviews of uh of
schs I mean they don't mention the name
necessarily what they talk about this
week you know the kazin used this niggan
for kadha that was totally inappropriate
you got gives you a
whole it's a whole review of of what's
the right niggan what's the wrong niggan
and this was a niggan that was beyond
his voice register he shouldn't have uh
he shouldn't have used it and like okay
so now I just want to add one little HF
to this and a very interesting of
the when push comes to shove whatever
the explanation is we have to ask
ourselves why why is so that there's
an that it's
even so
the brings in the idea that we already
talked
about he says why are you allow out to
have a shabas why isn't that a violation
of fasting and chabas so here's what the
says theam s says there's a difference
between fast days that commemorate past
tragedies and fast days that are praying
to
Hashem to avert a future
tragedy we don't do mourning on chabas
so to mourn over the past
it's inappropriate to fast so the ninth
of is a fast of aus a fast of mourning
Shas is a fast of mourning Somalia is a
fast of mourning we don't mourn over the
past on shabas a Tinus
khom is a
prayer that the dream should not turn
into something bad tan which are prayers
for
the are not n in the prohibition of
fasting and chabas because they're like
fos now what about the tent of T tent of
seems to also be a fast about the past
so here's a tremendous of the
real theam s
says that just
like is a god decides who will live and
who will die on rosashana there's at
least a preliminary judgment called
yipper it is sealed of course hasem
keeps on giving us delays here right R
it's written down Yumer it is sealed but
hasem keeps it in his
desk he delivers it to the malim to
carry out and then it's brought out
until khah hasem can still call back the
Mal it's like the parent who says I'm
going to count to five and you better
one two three three four five okay we're
going to count to 10 you know whatever
it is
so so he does give us a lot of
extensions but just like rashash
is he
says Hashem
decides on the 10th day of T if the base
on mikash is going to be rebuilt this
year so we fast on the tenth of T says
the S not to commemorate a tragedy but
like a Tinus so that the tragedy of
galut should be averted and changed by
ban bet mikdash this is called a
y for
banik and that is why theoretically it
would even override chabas because it
falls under the category
of now that does mean that if if we
truly pray perhaps we will Merit that
Hashem will decree that the Bas mikas
shall be rebuilt this year now once
again though if God forbid we don't
Merit such a favorable decree that
doesn't mean all hope is lost just like
in rasher you can still pray that Gazo
should be ripped up but it's a harder
process it's much harder to change a
negative decree than it is not to get
the negative decree in the first place
so this is a new significance
for that it is is
a therefore it is like
a that you're allowed to do even on
chabas because it's forward looking it
is not just mourning over the over the
past and even though as I say the aam's
uh assertion is untestable because the
calendar doesn't allow it but the fact
that we fast on Friday shows us there
Mas there is something
unique about this fast day a final point
about asses I want to mention this when
we look at the fast days we see that
they're often rooted in some earlier
great sin of
am so for example the fast of the 17th
of
Thomas is rooted in Theo because MOS
went up to Mount Si on us he came down
40 Days Later which is the 17th of thas
if you calculate it that's when he saw
the agel and he broke the
L smashed the L so the root of the 17th
of Tas is a day of tragedy lie in
the
Tish the root of Tish is a day of
Destruction and crying and weeping and
mourning is rooted in the of the morim
because the morim came back on the
eighth of a and they gave their
report how there are giants we have no
way of winning and that night the men
were crying and weeping and sobbing and
not believ in hashem's promise and
said you are crying a crying of not of
no reason this day will become
the so the root of the 17th of T is
the and the root of Tish is the of theim
by the way as we know that the women did
not sin in theim they had but still uh
they suffer along with all of us meaning
once Tish became a day ofan so women
mourn as well right They Mourn over the
mistakes their their husbands made
whatever even though they did not not
make make those we're not guilty of
those mistakes so some Galia as far as I
know I'm not aware of any root of but
but is very
interesting great great great great not
necessarily so well known but phenomenal
going brings from although it's not in
so it's hard to know where the sparm got
it
from commemorates
y that there was a m that YF was sold by
his
brothers on the 10th of Taves so it
turns out that at least three of the
four fast days are rooted in primeval A
at our Inception as a
nation yes that's correct that's correct
correct yeah yeah well uh you know as I
say uh the the the ultimate curse of may
be that uh you're on the receiving end
of all the all the mistakes that men
make say
again okay yeah okay you're right so
yeah we can wait wait we can blame women
for that for that one the first one on
the other hand on the other hand maybe I
shouldn't I shouldn't make a declaration
against my male interest uh many say
that the only reason made a mistake the
says is
because told her don't touch the tree
the pushes her nothing happens had Adam
been honest with her had he told her the
truth she wouldn't have eaten right so
the is actually Adam's fault in not
being honest with so even that Etc okay
so okay oh
oh oh you
I see uh that's that's interesting
maybe I hear I hear here so that's kind
of the most basic of all it's
interesting you you wouldn't look at s
Galia as the most
basic he was killed which was the day of
AD Marisha right right right right right
right right yeah okay uh so we'll stop
here just as we wish for
So based on this thought we should also
have
a
for and once again knowing that this is
the anniversary of
the should once again make us
ponder that is the reason for the
destruction of the second bikash and
until we overcome that we will not be to
its Redemption so have a good good fast
