Yerushalayim Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan Seminar- Rabbi Aba Wagensberg, Cheshvan's Secret

Okay. Good morning, everybody. Do I need this? Do I need Is this How does this sound good? >> No. >> Like this? >> Okay. All right. Good morning, everybody. >> I'll try that again. Good morning, everybody. >> Amen. Thank you. >> All right. Just a reminder, please, if you can, just cell phones off, minds and hearts on and open. And uh because I have about 45 minutes to 50 minutes here, let's try to hold questions and comments until the end. And at the end we can smoo a little bit about maybe some of the questions you wanted to ask I will address anyway. Maybe some of the comments you wanted to make I will make anyway and if not we can discuss them afterwards. Uh the Ezra Hashem. Okay. So let's get down to the topic here. The month of you know there's a we seem to have a custom we Jews whenever we refer to this month which is called we have a habit of referring to it as now why do we do that there are some reasons that I would imagine most people would not say for example mar could be a word used in talmudic times for rain indicating the rainy season. I refer you to a Mishna in Titus in chapter 1, Mishna number three. Another interpretation of Mar, it could be that um in ancient Aadian, some type of Babylonian dialect, Mareshan would translate as the eighth month. Okay, two interpretations. But that's not what we were thinking. I know we were thinking and this is what people will say all the time that the reason why we all refer to asan is because the word mar means bitter and this is the most bitter of the months because it is the only month which does not have a holiday we have shabas but we don't have we don't have holidays in the month of So, you know what? Let's go on a bit of a journey and let's see if this claim is actually true. Isan the only month that doesn't have a holiday. So, let's start from the beginning of the solar year. Let's go to the month of Tish that we just um finished celebrating. So, does Tish have any holidays? Well, yeah. Chalkload of holidays. We had Rashashana, Yum Kipur, Sukkot. All right. Tish is taken care of. Uh, we already said we claimed there's no holiday in the month of Keshvan. So, we'll skip for a moment. Let's go to the next month. The month of Kislave. All right. Kaneka. The month after that, Tavas Kaneka. Again, by the way, Kaneka is the only holiday that spans two months. And there are reasons for that beyond the scope of today. The next month, >> all right. Tubishvat. All right, stretching it a little bit, but we'll let it slide. Fine. Tubishvat is the holiday of the next month is Adar. >> All right, we got Purim. That's taken care of. The month after that is Nissan, Passover. Take care of that. Then we get to Ear H. What holidays do we celebrate in the month of Ear? So, here we go. >> What else? other groups may want to say. Okay, you know what? We'll let it slide. Fine. Those are the holidays in the month of Ear. The month after that, >> we have Shivos. Okay, that's taken care of. Then we get to Tamos. >> Well, and of all right, it's getting a little bit more difficult. What's that? >> Shivaamos. 17th of Tamos, which is a fast day. which is another fast day. But you know what? There are those that want to say based on a verse in Zakaria, the verse in Zechariah in 8-18 that says when the Messiah comes, those days of mourning over the destruction of the temple will be transformed into holidays. See, you know what? Already let's consider it as though they are also holidays. We'll let that slide as well. And maybe you want to add, what about tuba? A very nice Jewish romantic day. Okay, fine. A very happy day. Fine. We'll let it slide. And this leads us to the only month we haven't mentioned, and that's the month of El H. [clears throat] What holidays are there in the month of El? Now, we're scratching the old head. Hey, what's going on? There are no holidays in Elo. And we claimed that was the only month that doesn't have a and yet el we should call it marlo according to the mareshon reasoning but you know what some people would say they would say well you know collectively we know that Mosher rebu ascended mount sani for the third and final time on roes and mosha came down on the 10th of tish that was yum kipore with the second l the second set of tablets and therefore hashem said salah I have forgiven you all for the sin of the golden g. So therefore there will there are those that want to say you know what the whole month of El is festive every single day and you know what it's famous in kabad but the first labi and this teaching is found tora in paras what do they all say the two words about the month of elame the king is in the field hashem is even more accessible so therefore somehow someway we've taken the entire entire month of El and we want to credit the month as being a month of festivity which then leaves us where we began and that is here we go the only month that doesn't have a holiday and therefore according to what we say the average person on the street would say the reason is because the we give the name is because it's a bitter month because of the fact it doesn't have a holiday so let's talk about this a little bit more and ask a question. The question is, well, why why doesn't Keshvan have any other holidays? Why is there no holiday celebrated ineshan? And I'd like to address that question right now. And that is because we find that King Solomon completed the building of the first bas of the first temple in the month of how do we know that? Because that's what it says in the first book of Kings in 6-38. It says and in the 11th year in the month of Bull spelled Bav Lammed or B U L. Gee, we never mentioned that month before. The verse says in the 11th year of King Solomon's reign, in the month of Bull, which month is the month of Bull? So the verse goes on to say it is the eighth month. When I say eth I mean from the lunar cycle starting from Nissan is number eight. So the verse says the month of ish the eighth month the house was completed according to all of its particulars and according to all of its specifications it took king Solomon seven years to build the first b the first temple and he completed building the first temple in the month of so rashi there in malf takes issue the word bull That's the name the the the the word found in the verse for this month. Rashi says what month is bull? Rashi says interesting. Rashi also called the month. Rashi says one and the same. But then Rashi wants to know if it's let it say. Why does it say bull? Where did the word bull come from? There could be several answers to this question. But let's read what Rashi says. Rashi says the reason why it's called bull is because by the time you get to this month the uh vegetation has already been worn out in the field. There's a play on the word bullah which means worn out is linguistically similar to the word bull says rashi that's why it's called bull because it teaches us that the vegetation the herbage is baha it's been worn out and then rashi goes on to say which means now owners of animals will have to bolin mix fodder mix porridge for the animals from the house. The animals have nothing left to eat in the fields. We're going to have to prepare them food and in the house and bring it out to them. So again, another linguistic similarity that the word bull is related to the word bolin which means to mix. We have to mix our own formula for the for the animals and bring it outside. And then Rashi says the word bull in this verse mashon comes from another verse in seafair shaftim in the book of judges in 19-21 when it says [snorts] and he prepared food for the donkeys vaval again the word vaval to prepare is also linguistically similar to the word bull that this verse inim uses. What was the story there in the book of judges? It was an old man from the tribe of Binyammon who invited a Levite man who had lived in the territory of Yehuda. So this man from the tribe who was living in the tribe of Binyammen invites this other man. He's a Ley. But this Ley happens to live in the territory of Yehuda. He and his concubine get invited into the home. And the verse says that this man from the tribe of Binyamin he uh he prepared food to feed the donkeys of this man with his concubine and then the story of Peshiva breaks out and that's again beyond the scope of today. So when you put this rashi together, it turns out that bull month of bull means the month in which the herbs of the field are number one bala worn out and other food must be bolin mixed for the animals in vaval preparation to feed the animals. So Rashi has three words that are linguistically similar to the word bull and that's what Rashi says. Now in any case uh the verse is telling us King Solomon finished completed building the first bas in the month of Bull. However, did they celebrate did the Jewish people celebrate the newly built Bam Mikdash the first temple in that month of yes or no? >> You're right. The answer is no. The midash tells us found in Yakimoni in Malik Maliff the first book of kings real numbering system 184 let's read the midash together says the medish when the first temple had been completed by king Solomon in the month of bullsh the temple remained closed and locked for the next 12 months. How do you like that? Lights out, nobody's home. The whole thing was closed down. By the way, there's a commentary on Medish called the Zan written by Rabbi Abraham Giner, author of the M Ara. In any case, he says, what does it mean 12 months? He means until the following tish almost 12 months, right? Just under about 11 months and change. So the temple remained closed and locked. You might be wondering why why wait so long to use the ba mikdash. Let's get right to it. So the midrash says the Jewish people began to formulate their own thoughts as to why there was a delay. Says the medisho almo. The people, the Jews began to speak disparagingly about King Solomon. And this is what they said. Loah, isn't King Solomon the son of Bva? So, how could Hashem allow his divine presence to rest on the handiwork of of Solomon? He may very well be an illegitimate child. That must be the reason why the doors are closed and locked and the lights are out because King Solomon sees there's no divine presence coming down. And you want to know why the people said must be because of something wrong with Solomon himself. Look where he came from David and Bva. That's what people said. And something's people jump to make these accusations. But the midrash tells us the real reason. Hashem said, "No, I have a the real reason why we're going to push off the inauguration and the celebration and the festivities of the first temple is because I'd like to wait until the month of what?" Shinola Abraham. I want to wait for the month in which Abraham Ainu was born. When was which month was Abraham born? In in the month of the powerful one, Abraham was powerful. He stood up against the entire world. So which month? It's another name, the month of the powerful one. Which month is that? So the mid tells us this refers to the month of so the midash asks why do we call it the month of the month of the powerful ones just call it what it's called call it so the midash answers because of was born in the month of tish like it says in psalms in 89-1 mi a master of intelligence by asan the but the midrash wants to say is powerful the one that stood on the other side against the entire world says the midrash the verse is teaching us that Abraham was born in the month of Tish so Abraham is the first of the patriarchs and now we have the first of the temples Hashem says well you know what we're going to celebrate the first of the temples in the month upon which was born the first of the patriarchs and that's why Hashem pushed off the celebration of the inauguration of the first temple from and Hashem held it off until the following tish. Ah but the problem is you know who gets insulted about this? Who would be insulted? Uh maybe the midash says >> the month of was completely insulted. >> So embarrassed. Hey, wait a minute. The first temple was completed in me on mesh and then where where's the ticket day parade? What what happened to the where's the dancing? Where's the singing? Where's the music? Nothing. So was embarrassed. Felt insulted. something wrong with me? The truth is nothing's wrong with it's just that there's something Hashem wanted to connect the first temple with. So since felt bad says the hashem guaranteed don't worry I'm going to pay you back I'm going to pay you back big time speedily in our days the third and final final temple will be built and completed in the month of and boy are we going to celebrate the building of the third B mikdash in the month of andhan gets paid back with dividends much more than it ever expected comes along the benar the saskar one of the famous commentaries of Dinov who lived in Poland in the years of 1783 till 1841 the beny sassar wonderful work on the months of the year in his teachings on the month of 1-2 he makes an incredible observation says the benyasar it turns out that the inauguration the celebration of all three bate mikdash all three temples happened over the span of three consecutive months. God bless you and all of us together. Amen. Over three months in a row. You hear this? The the dedication, the inauguration, the celebration of all three temples happened in three months. But those three months are three months in a row. And this is what he says. Number one, the first bas mikdash. When did we celebrate the building of the first basa mikdash in tish? We just had the midash the yak showing in the month of tre. What about the second ba mikdash says the baasar? Well, there was a tremendous a tremendous celebration that's connected to the second bamb. I gave it away with the word and that's from the Gammoran Shabas on 21b after theim the Hasmonians defeated the Syrian Greeks there was what during second temple era there was a a rededication a reinaration of the second temple which month did that second celebration happen in >> Kislave are you watching me first temple was in Tish. The second temple was in Kislv had to skip overshan to get to Kisl. So that month in the middle, oh says the Basar. And the third B mikdash will have a an inauguration, a celebration in which month. So says the Basar. How do you like that? The dedications, the inaugurations of the three temples happen in three different months, but three months in a row says the binasar that these three months are connected to three different tribes. I got to stop here for a moment. I got to take a step back before two steps forward. There is a teaching from the Arizal. He says that in an average year in a regular year there were 12 months. You want to talk about leapy years and 13 we can do that but let let's leave the leapy years to the side for a moment. In an average year there are 12 months and the Arizal says that the 12 months correspond to the 12 tribes of Israel. Okay. The question becomes which is connected to which kodesh? Which tribe is connected to which month? So when it comes to the months, we have to list them by their lunar cycle. That's the moon, which means Nissan is month number one. Niss e or s and Tom was of and Nissan is one and is 12. After you make a list from Nissan down to Adar, now we're going to have a parallel list. I want to write down the tribes. Now, I have a knee-jerk reaction. I'm tempted to write the tribes down in chronological order of birth, says the Arisa. When it comes to connecting tribes to the months, we don't take the chronological order of birth. Is this okay? Is it making too much noise? I don't know. I feel like it's it's okay. Okay. So, so which order? We don't go by based on how they were born. Which order do we take? says the arisal cababalistically we go according to the order of the de gullim the flags what does that mean the way the tribes were encamped around the mishkan the tabernacle the sanctuary in the midbar in the wilderness yet the mishkan the sanctuary was in the middle and the tribes encamped around the mishkun so since there are four sides to the mishkun so each died, there would be three tribes encamped cuz 3 * 4 is 12. We'll talk about 12 tribes for now. We're not talking about leapy years, a 13th month. We're not talking about a 13th tribe. Leave that to the side for a moment. Let's stick with the number 12 just to make things easy right now. 12 tribes around the Mishkun. Three tribes encamped on each side of the Mishkun. When it came time for the Jewish people to move from place to place in the Midbar, there was a hierarchy. They didn't all just pick themselves up and move. We're told in Paras Midbar and in Paras Naso, there was a pecking order. So, the three tribes on the east moved first. The three tribes on the south moved second. The three tribes on the west moved third. The three tribes on the north moved last fourth. But even within each side there was a pecking order. So who were the tribes on the eastern side? Yehuda, Yakar, and Zulen. Whenever it came time to move from place to place in the wilderness, Yehuda would go first. That's the tribe progenitor of kings. Kings go first. Then came the tribe of Isakar. That was a tribe of Torah scholars. They go second. Then came the tribe of Zulin. Those that made a lot of money and supported the study of they go third. That was the pecking order. On the southern side, you had Ruain, Shimon, and God. For tribes four, five, and six. on the western side which is going to apply to us today. Tribes 7 8 and 9 were a fryim miny. I'll get back to them in a moment. Those are the ones we're going to focus on for our purposes today. But just to finish the cycle on the northern side, you had napali nfttali and dun. Okay, that's the ordering of the tribes. It's all mapped out in parasid paraso. Since the ordering was again Yehuda starts Yehuda. So therefore Yehuda would connect to the first month that would be Nissan. Yes. That's tribe number two based on how they traveled that would connect to Ear. When you keep doing this when you get to let's say the well the eighth month this is our month which is the eighth tribe that traveled that was Minasha. But the Bus also just said there were three months in a row, three consecutive months in which we celebrated the building of three temples. Tish, Kislave, Tish, we celebrated the inauguration of the first temple. Keshvan will be the celebration of the third temple. Kislave was the celebration of the second temple. Those three months are which numbers? 7, 8, and 9. Right? Tish is the seventh month counting from Nissan. Is the eighth month counting from Nissan and Kis is the ninth month counting from Nissan. So therefore says so watch this the month of Tish which is the seventh month. So and we said that was the inauguration of the first temple. Which tribe connects to the month of Tish? Which tribe was number seven? >> Ephraim. Ephraim. That was seven kisslave. Jumping to kisslave which is the ninth month and we celebrated the second bas mikdash that's connected very good. That's to the ninth sha that's biny. Our month in the middle the month of is the eighth month and that month connects to which tribe and we're going to get back to that hopefully very soon says thear. It turns out that the the inauguration of the three temples happened in three months that are connected to three tribes and all three of those tribes are the sons of Rael Emanuh because Ephraima come from Yoseph Yoseph is from Rael and Binyam is from Rael says the binasa what's the significance why did the inauguration The celebration of three temples happened in in by these three tribes the sons of Rael and that's because he points to a medious in 70-2 says there do you know what Rael emanu was called? She was called now when I read the midash at least until today that meant to say she was the mainstay of the house. She was the primary wife of Yakovu the one that he loved the most. However, says comes to teach us that Rael was the habas bias is in temple. She was the primary matriarch connected to the but mikdash because it's her three sons which connect to the three months of tish keshan and kislave in which we inaugurate the three temples. Isn't it interesting that Rahul Emanu's yard site is the 11th of the month in which will there be the dedication of which temple? The third temple of the three temples, which is the primary temple? >> The third one, right? The third one is the is the that's the crescendo. That's the highest one. So look at this. also means that Rael was connected to the primary berite is invarias the bias the primary temple that's connected to so based on this teaching we now have an answer perhaps to our question why are there no holidays in the month of what's the meaning behind And here we go. Perhaps the reason why there is no holiday that we celebrate in the month of is because the month of is being reserved for a major holiday that will be celebrated in it sometime in the near future. And that holiday will be the inauguration of the third and final ba mikdash. By the way, I think there's a tremendously fundamental teaching which emerges from this discovery and that is it stems from this idea that is being reserved for a futuristic holiday. That fundamental teaching is that since the month of is going to be the month of a major holiday, it already possesses the holy energy of that future holiday already now. This month, right now already possesses the holy energy of that. And we can see that already possesses the holy energy of that futuristic holiday because we already push all other holidays out of the way from so that we can concentrate on the future holiday that is already buried within. This idea that already possesses the holy energy of that futuristic holiday teaches us I think a very powerful lesson. And that is the lesson is that we must always try to look for the holiness that is buried within the mundane. Vin may look very mundane on the outside, but boy oh boy is it so super holy on the inside. It's just that that holiness on the inside has not yet been brought out in full view for us to be able to see easily. The inner holiness has not yet been activated, but it is very much there. And therefore I think we are being taught by these commentaries that our aod our service to God in the month of is unique and that is we are to train ourselves to see the kusha to see the holiness that's buried within the buried within the mundane. This could apply to people that we meet to situations that we find ourselves in to always try to see beneath the surface and as was uh the title of this class. This is where Shabas comes into play. You see the month of belongs to the messianic era. And what do we call the messianic era? There is a Mishna in tract day in 7-4 that refers to the messianic era as yum shulo shabas a day a time when every day will be shabas. That does not mean we'll never be able to take a shower again. It means that every day will have the sanctity of shabas. Therefore, each and every Shabas during the month of is energized with that messianic light. Do you hear what's happening? Is the holiday of the future. The future is called Yom Shakulo Shabas. That's an arrow pointing at what? Shabas. Which Shabas? Which Shabbat, which Sabbaths, the Sabbaths in the month of Boy, can we really connect with the highest and holiest of the lights. See, hear what just happened? We went through an L and we had then we went higher to Russia Shana. Then we got higher with Yum Kipper. And there are those that say got higher on Sukis and then higher on Schmidiat. And then we get to the crescendo. We're not being let down in the month of we're going to an even higher place, the Shabasos of Mish. Literally connect with the Yom Shakulo Shabas. This is the holiest and highest of holidays that we've got and we can tap into them into it already right now. Okay. So, let's turn. I have to do some surgery on my notes here in order to end on time. Just going to take a check. 10 minutes left. 10 minutes left. Here we go. There's another teaching that will hopefully be understood very well based on all that we've just shared. We're going to jump going to jump to paras 4814. the scene Yoseph brings his two sons Ephraima to be blessed by Yakov before Yakov takes a leave of absence of this world. So Yoseph has two boys Ephraim and Minasha. But the truth is Minasha was the first born to Yoseph. Ephraim was the second born to Yoseph. So with the understanding that a person's you know for the most part the right hand is considered to be stronger than the left. There are exceptions, but for the most part, right is stronger than left. When Yoseph brings his two boys into Yakov, Yoseph is careful to place Minasha, the older of the two boys, on Yakovu's right side. And Yoseph is careful to place Ephraim, the younger of the two boys, on Yakovu's left. Then the verse says 48:14 Roshim, that's he extended his right hand and laid it on Ephraim. That's strange. That's kind of out of the way. Ephraim was the younger of the two boys. But Yakov's left hand alash Yakov laid rested upon the head of Manasha going out of his way. He crisscrossed his hands says the verse. You want to know why? Because Minasha was the firstborn. You hear the problem. Yakov placed his weaker hand on Minasha because Minasha was the firstborn. What? What? No, no, no. You mean if you're going to tell me that Manasha was the firstborn, then the verse should have said that Yakov placed his right hand, the stronger hand on Manasha. What do you mean? Yakov crisscrossed, right hand goes to Ephraim, the weaker hand, left hand goes to Manasha because Manasha was theor that doesn't seem to make sense. The Saskar, what an amazing answer he shares again his teachings on the month of in 1-4 he says, you know, had another alternative. He didn't have to criss-cross his hands. He could have said, "Minaasha, why don't you step over there to my left side? Ephrien, why don't you take a step to my right side and I won't have to do any crisscrossing? It'll be so much easier for me to lay my hands on you the way that I want to." Why says the Basar did Yakovu decide to crisscross his hands and leave Minasha on his own right side? Says the you know why Jacob kept Minashe on the right side? Because Minasha was the firstborn. What does that mean? Well, it means he was the first born. Biologically that's true. But it means something else. says the sassar. It means that manashe was the bore of kashibos the firstborn with respect to importance. Yakov already foresaw that the third basis mikdash the most the most important of the temples would be built and celebrated in the month of and that's the month of Mashe that's the eighth month and that's the eighth tribe based on how they were positioned around the Mishkan since the ofos he's the one that has the month in which we celebrate the third and final and the the greatest of the b mikdash. That's why I kept basha to my right side. I did not tell him to move to my left side. Oh, so then why did you criss-cross your hands? That's because there was an advantage that Ephim had over Masha. Ephim was also kind of a bore, kind of a firstborn. What does that mean? He wasn't biologically. What does that mean? Ephraim is called the uh with respect to Kadeima Bisman. Ephim came before Minasha. What does it mean came before on two accounts? Ephim's month is which month? Tish. Ephraim is a seventh shvet as they were positioned around the Mishkan. And Tish is month number. So Ephraim is kind of a first. He comes first. His month comes before the month of Minasha. Not only that, but the inauguration of which temple happens in tre the first temple. The first the bore the first of the temples. So there's an there's an aspect of Ephraim of Bor so to speak that his month was first his temple was first. Therefore, he deserves to have because of that kadima bas because he precedes a fryim precedes manasha with respect to time. So there's a certain advantage and therefore that was the right hand of yak of men to indicate there's something a fraim has over that of over because he came first but ultimately manasha remains at my right side. I would never tell him to switch position because at the end of the day is the poor he's the one he's the eighth in the eighth month and that's and that's the inauguration the third bas and so now we know and we said it a few times Minasha is the tribe connected to you know how significant that is if the lesson that we're sharing is that the month of is teaching us a lesson Although something might seem to be ordinary on the outside, but we have a job. We have to dig. We have to see the holiness on the inside. This is true when it comes to interpersonal relation to see the beauty, the holy on the inside. That would be why of all of all tribes which one connects to the month of that is min because you look at another person don't just look at the person's body look at the person's soul and the word for soul in Hebrew is nish and the letters nish are the letters of minashe just rearranged in a different way to see the holy on the inside is what the message of this month comes to teach us and therefore on every shabas during this month of there is an even greater emphasis on something called there is a teaching from it's found in trackcta on 16a it's based on a verse in kisa vaga Once a person already sabbathized I made up that word in the past then who the soul left me. Which soul? So the garra says, "Oh, it's an on shabas. We get an extra there's something special about the shabas about the sabbaths that we celebrate in the month of because the month of is connected to the month of is connected to the soul. There's an even greater emphasis on the nish nisha that we receive at this time. You know, I didn't mention this at the beginning. What time is it now? Okay. What time is it? Oh, two minutes left. Oh, by Okay. Uh, the Safer Hayets, perhaps one of the most ancient of the cabalistic texts that we have. There are those according to the Kuzari written by Abrahamu or maybe Riyaka based on the teachings of traditions of Alra. whichever one it is in the safer the book of formation chapter 5 it says each month on the Jewish calendar falls under the um a different uh mazal a different zodiac sign what is the mazal what is a zodiac sign of so we are told it's called avat is scorpio in English a is scorpion same word basically gee that always sounds so dark and dismal wow scorpion And yeah, it figures. Here we go again. Falling back to old habits. Well, has no holidays, so of course it's going to be poisonous and terrible. Take a look at that word. And this is based on the Basar 1-2. Acro is spelled in Hebrew B. Move the B away from the rest of the word. The first three letters can now be pronounced as ear as in primary. How do you spell a letter B? He just moved the bay. How do you spell the letter Baze in he? How do you Every letter can be spelled Budsaf? It's how you spell Baze or Budsaf can now be pronounced bias. Arav is a code word not for scorpions. We're being told by the mazal this is the month of Earhabayas. This is the month the primary basa mikdash is going to be celebrated. And um where do we go from here with one minute left? Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Okay, I'm just going to jump to the end, I guess. Let's just jump jump. Okay, I'm going to leave you Batashem with the following. I I think it's a bit of a kosh, a novel idea. I didn't see it anywhere, but here it goes. We're going to end with this. The Gmorra says in Shabas on the the Bavi, the Babylonian Talmud on page 118ban says, In the name of the If only the Jewish people would observe two Sabbaths in a row according to according to Jewish lawy they'd be redeemed right away. That's great. What an amazing statement. However, there is a a Jerusalem Talmud in Titus. It's in chapter one. one which says shel if the Jews would just observe one shabas according to its laws they'd be redeemed right away so now we got the contradiction will the real number please stand up is it one shabas is it two shabas so here comes a pos I'm not sure if this is the right answer we're going to make a suggestion maybe when the ble The Babylonian Talmud said that we have to observe two Shabbasos in order properly to get Messiah. That refers to two Shabasos the rest of the year. However, when the usual says one Shabas would suffice maybe, just maybe the USI is talking about a Shabas in the month of what's buried inhan. We're like walking. And we're sitting on top of the third ba mikdash yom shakulo shabas. Every shabas in this month is so powerful. One shabas would suffice it to bringem the messiah. That's why the safety says that the color every month has connected to a color which is the color of the stone on the kosh mishbat. What's the color of this month? It's a very dark and deep black. And what does that come to teach? Again, go fall back to old habits. Oh yeah, of course it's dark. It's dismal. No holidays. But no, no, no, no, no. It's just a message that we could be living in the darkest of times. We might be experiencing the darkest of situations and our aod is to search for the nto of kadusha, for the sparks of holiness inside of everyone, inside of every circumstance. So you know whatever may we all be blessed with the willingness and with the capacity of twisting our kishkis inside out to see the good in other to see the sweet we didn't have a chance to talk about every month is connected to a different permutation of the shame havaya and this one happens to connect with the verse in kiso that talks about honey I'll just cut to the chase honey be honey it's so kosher and so sweet. What does it come from? Insects. Again, the same message that on the outside it might seem to be something not, but on the inside it's so holy and so sweet. We should be zoh to see the nama in all people. And in all situations, no matter how dark it might seem, in order that will be z to the messiah who will also smell only the good within us. And then will be to be the bias in this month of in which we will offer up carbonos that will serve as a lashem which will make Minash so proud of us that even his shoham stone that was the name of the stone on the by the way it wasn't Mina's name that was engraved on that stone he didn't even have it said Yoseph safe. Where's Minasha? You're gonna have to dig to find the minasha or shall I say to find the nishama behind that stone that even mash is so proud of us that the shoham stone will shine ever brightly and good chabas.
