Parshas Bo: 3 days in the Desert, The Second Temple, & the State of Israel - Station or Destination?

this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com Hills New York so we have a good one today Mazel Tov to all the people who came today and didn't stay home okay so and also to the ballet SIM card they um the aparsha tells us that um the first myths on the Tyra the Mitzvah that Rashi would have liked the turret to begin with and we know that we have given names to the months of the year and Nissan ER Sivan tamos and some of them are rather uh strange because their names of Persian Gods like tamos and why in the world would we adopt the names of uh Abuelita Zara and Persian gods and use it for our names of the year and the ramban is troubled by this question because uh these are not of Jewish etymology the names of the Jewish months are not of Jewish origin so why have we adopted the non-jewish months especially one of the reasons we were uh we had the supposed to leave matrim we did not change the our language so why would we use the uh Persian names of the months for our months and um the ramban in this week's pasta parachute base plastic base will require ment have mentioned this for umrun they said the names of the months came up with us from Babel why because at first these we didn't have names we called it the first month the second month the third month the fourth month but we did not have names for all 12 months or even for most of them avocation but when we came out of bubble we reverted to call the names of the months the shame in the names that they call them in Babylon why that's what the ramana's bothered by why would we call the names of the months by Babylonian names says here to remember that there we stayed um brought us out of there is you will not find them in the books of Tana you will not find anywhere in Hamish any reference to the names of the months that we have today not in none of the parishes of the Torah doesn't refer to as Nissan ER Steven and Thomas even in the navient reshine him they are not referred to as those names the only sparim um which of course was written in in Persia and you'll find it in the VA Bubba like uh the navi um what who is he referring to as they in Buffalo who in buffalo called him by his name the Babylonians the Babylonians these are uh Babylonian names a month is a month in other words they have a lunar calendar and the month begins when the when the moon is born and the month is over when uh the cycle is over so like in English yeah yeah yeah yeah I mean uh the Chinese New Year I don't know about the Chinese New Year but uh the the Muslim calendar is the purely lunar is only lunar The Arc of the American calendar is the solar calendar it's primarily lunar but we we balance it in order to keep pesach until the spring but it's really a lunar calendar that's balanced based on the seasons okay so this is a question what what's the meaning of this why did the common want us to remember that we came out of bubble what is the significance significance of that why is that so important why would that justify calling the names of the month by Persian names and this is a question that reviakov kamonesky asks in the msiakov in parashasi was one of the favorite tamindima of the author of sabotka he held many important rabbinic posts as well before he became the receiver of tarverdas in I believe 1948 he lived from 1891 to 1986. so Bianca wants to know Timaya why did they forsake the language of the Hamish and use the Persian language especially the names of the month which of our which are of idolatrous origin for example tamos now we know another very interesting thing during the times of the second base tamikdas the spoken language among the Jewish people was Aramaic veractivated so that's another question why when the Jewish people they came back to Arts Israel in um in the times of the second based on mcdosh they didn't speak Israel it's like people want to know you know should I go to Earth Israel okay yeah but are they going to give are they going to speak in English there no you can of course not you're gonna have to say it's because why would you speak in English you know what would the point be but um you know the the the Jews returned to the second base at mcdosh and they did not speak Russian in fact they forgot they continued to speak Aramaic so here it is in mitzrayim one of the reasons why they were redeemed is and during the times of the second based on mcdosh what happened Claude Israel then times the second base stomach does Claudius Royal continue to speak Aramaic why did they do that so that's another point that we have to try to understand first of all why do they continue to call the names of the months Babylonian names why did the Jews when they returned to Heritage Israel why did they stop speaking so regarding this question we'll call it uh a second question the there's an interesting comment of the Samsung the example rights um regarding a very interesting we know that in a place where there's filth in a place where there's soya you're not allowed to learn you're not you're not even allowed to think in learning the question is are you allowed to say Hebrew words in other words does the Hebrew language have kadusha or do we say only Tara has kadusha but the language itself is uh Hulen so interesting the paskins and simphas that is secular speech discretionary speech you're allowed to say in in oh says based on this mug in a rum that is not to speak what about in an area where they're avoidazara in other words we say there's a concept technically you're allowed to speak what about where there is preferred not to speak says because I'm sorry for now I understand why when the Jews returned in the times of the second base they did not speak Russian you know why because they forgot it they literally forgot how to speak English why did they forget it because they went down to bubble and Babel we know is full of Idols so in bevel they were they didn't have the opportunity to speak English because they were careful with this mug in Abram not to speak Russians that's why in ancient times the custom was not to speak because it was a they were avoidazara everywhere and was completely forgotten from us okay so that's the shot of The Cypher but it's something that Rebecca kamleski wonders about and that is why when the Jewish people returned to this time in the second race did they stop speaking again in Egypt maybe they weren't the mahmer like the Magan Abram right the Torah wasn't given yet so you want to say you know the Torah wasn't given the same argument yeah there was no Tyra so they didn't even have to keep the Mitzvahs in fact they didn't keep the mid-size so if they didn't keep the mid spice uh so it's unusual but one thing they did keep is they they know okay yeah no they were even up at the Zara how they're learning hummus every week so this is a few a few interesting points namely why did they adopt the uh Persian names of the month why in the times of the second basea mikdash did they stop speaking Hamilton Valley wasn't written in Metairie that the reason for targum right is targum is Melo we do twice in there so once in time between Novato the tagum onculus was given on cni yeah but the language itself doesn't have uh kadusha okay Rabbi said we can see a lot of very interesting things okay in the times of the second Masonic Dash they were missing a number of things that they had in times of first place some ignition it says um and it's spelled the caved without a hate these are the five things that they had in the first place at McDonald's that they did not have in the second base I think this what were they the h was not present in the times of the second message but most notably but what they didn't have in the times of the second way samikdish was the Aryan the Orion was not extant in the time of the Sacramento so you'll ask where was it so the simple answer is a hundred years before yoshima took the Orion and he hid it about a hundred years before destruction of the first place and they didn't know where it was in other words you ask most people where was the all right in the times the second base something they'll say we don't know yoshio put it in the other underground labyrinths that shall not made of the first place to make Dash the problem is Aso Bianca if there is a mishnan scholar and the mission goes as follows there's a story with a Cayenne who was doing and he saw one of the floor panels of this in mcdush was a little bit out of place and he wanted to tell his friend oh look at that maybe that's where the online was and he died meaning what do we see from here Cesar biakov that they knew exactly where they were vyakov so why didn't they take it out and put in the Karissa dosham where it belongs so in a meeting until today everybody would have gone their whole life thinking that they didn't know where the ring was but that could not be father from the truth they knew exactly where it was they knew to the millimeter they knew to the inch we are the our own lay under which floor plan they obviously deliberately left it there and did not remove it and put in the Kardashian where it belonged why why didn't they put the arm along after all the whole caduce emanated from the Orion it's called mishkan holidays so they knew where the Orion was why didn't they put the Orion back asks of Yakov kamonesky here's the real Whopper so so far we're reading the Amazon parisha's boy now let's go to the amazing and there's a plastic in shemais parekh gimmel pasok yud Hass the plastic sounds like this don't worry they will listen to you Israel to our God myself three days in the mid bar huh never happened what kind of mice is supposed to spin to para para just let us go for three days what are you talking about you know we're still we're still on that three days sabbatical Paro let's just go for three days wants to take us out he doesn't have to trick parody what what is this what's my shopping is supposed to tell paroi why is Hashem telling Maisha tell power let us go for three days you ever watch you ever wonder about this what's going on over here what's going on what is my shabano telling parai that's another question so so far we wanted to know about the months of the year we want to know why did you stop speaking in the times of the second base why didn't they put the ring back and for we want to know what what is this bubba Misa that it seems like my shabeno is spinning off pawning off to Pari another question Robert's saying Jewish sovereignty but they took it a step further they decided to appoint the king and because they did so they violated the Sava of the zakane Yakov you know they violated yaakov's ethical will jacovino said Laos and therefore they were punished that the kashmah were wiped out and that's why today the gemara says anyone who says they come from the hashmanam is a liar all the kashmahon were wiped out to a man why because so as of Yakov kamonesky there were rabbis back then right I mean we're talking about you know why didn't the rabbis get together and say yukoi had him you're a bunch of hersham you're violating the uh you're valuing the Posse in the homies do you know what the repercussions could be why didn't get up and speak out and have a protest and gather everybody together and say we can't have this we need to appoint a melak from Aqua space David why did the rabbis um countenance this why do they allow this why do they agree why do they endorse this why don't they speak up foreign a lot of questions you ever open up um how would you show me how mad you xiaomi was written where it's just wrong it was written by rabbis Orthodox rabbis and they probably knew so why in the world did they write it in Aramaic you want to say talmud babli which was written in bubble I was written in Aramaic okay that I understand that's the language that everybody spoke there that's the language of the country why in the world are abundant writing and it's a very difficult Aramaic it's a very hard era it's harder than talmud babbling why would you write tamadu xiaomi in Aramaic what's the point of doing that what's the logic of that you look at the names of the tanoam and amaran bye rodimi ravini Ravina Papa was terrifying wow these are not Hebrew names not call themselves like avraham yes Hebrew names one of the reasons why we were redeemed from Israel is they didn't change their names and here the Tana came out all of them they don't have it Hebrew names they all have Aramaic names why would they use Aramaic names what's the meaning of that it's a very uh very unusual uh phenomenon we have over here if you open up your tanas we have what those were our Morrisons and sometime now I'm yeah we're Babylonians yeah but why would they use uh why would they use Babylonian names the reason why we're exiled from Egypt is because they didn't use Egyptian names that was there's there's they didn't change their names so why would these who had religious freedom they could have called themselves any name they wanted why would they use Aramaic names wipe their Brits why did their parents say because Ashi Ravina why wouldn't their parents call them Hebrew names foreign what's very unusual is if you look in the Tanakh you'll notice they're tunivium there's enough and there's another hagai and the Navy Haskell primarily is a prophecy about what the third base is the future is the prophecy of the return in the times of the second base isn't that out of order came first lived in the times of the first base he's practicing about the third base on mcdosh and the navigation who lived at the end of the first during the 70 years he's practicing about the second why would God have the prophets prophecy out of order where the Navy hasco is prophecying about the third base of mcdosh and the navi khai guy is prophecy about the second Mason mcdosh what's the meaning of that okay so ravasai I refer you to the following password which is this week's parasha Tarak Yoda alif pasok Allah the politics says like this I have one more plague to bring afterwards I'm gonna send you out of here when I send you out color gorisha is coming there color what does color mean she says Khalil call him all of you what does that mean listen to this is all of you as opposed to what as opposed to only foreign s his major thesis which is a concept that he presents in a number of places and powershell's boy in parashat shamois imperations in his commentary to perkiavois and in many of his footnotes in the safer and the way I want to introduce it is with the words of ravianas and ivishans asks another question so we have something like 10 questions the good news is there's only one answer okay ass like this who was worse off who's cindergrader with all the with all this forum and all the videos and all the coffee Heritage Foundation material who sinned the worse the people in bias reshine When the People by Ashanti bias we shown they killed they committed adultery and they served by ushini when their friend got uh Ravi uh they got into a little squabble so who's worse I mean you could spin it however you want them those are the big three Nam you know is relatively minor and yet after they were a bunch of murderers about as we shine basically Hashem sent them in tagalas and they came right back you had people who literally left the land who came back Terrence is wrong they made it back to the land and the guys who didn't like the people who you know who's yamako was a little bit different than theirs we're still in goals 2 000 years I mean how does that how do you fit that so I know but I know is equal to all three but look The Big Three are the big three it's not fear asked to be honest and I Bishops here it is they send words and we're suffering for the Bible and the ones who suffer who sinned and by Ishani who sinned rather minorly they're the ones suffering and the ones who said by this Mission they came back it's how many birthday macdashem are there in the entirety of the Jewish people really they're only two there's nice we shine and there's by shelishi what's value Shaney so if you look in the lotion of another year we find like this the navi yarmiya says who remembers the next words foreign I'll remember you it doesn't say I'll redeem you says I'll remember you it's a pikida you know pikita means a visit a visit you have somebody he spent his youth in Yeshiva and now he's out in the workplace and you know what he doesn't feel the same sanctity that he did when he was in the four walls of so they have today these things you go for a day or two or for a weekend to a hotel and you hear shirim the hoshabis from big people and you so to speak recharge your batteries so that you could go back out into the world with more of a with more of a feeling of attachment to the Tyro with more of a Sanctified album they had a narrative so right there's such a concept you're not going back into the Yeshiva you're you've done you're done with that stage in life but you're you're trying to reconnect to the sanctity that you once had and now you have a different obligation in life is the Jewish people when they sinned in the times of the first baseman they were in hot water they were in such that you know how long they needed to be in Godless for for 2 000 years plus but there was a problem and the problem was they didn't really have the tar she about that so for example at the end of the 70 years the Jewish people came back to Art Israel they didn't know what a Suka was they didn't know what Shabbos was they didn't know what it meant that you have to marry a Jew so he had Jews coming back in time with something Shabbos you allowed to marry a guy what's so bad Ahmad Amaya it's all in the family anyway and most of the Jews intermarried right in times of Ezra Malachi he had to take care of the intermares you think intermarriage today is a problem it is you know what the intermarriage rate is today it's over 70 in 2017. that means out of every 10 every three three times you're going to Finca or right or some other place in Borough Park to a wedding you should know somewhere in the world another seven Jews are marrying out of their faith but this is not the only time we had intermarriage problem in the times of Ezra times in the second based on megash in the beginning the Jews were disappearing at an alarming rate So what revansham had to do was even though after Corbin by his region we needed to be in Galas for for until the gulach but the Revenge them realize what he needs to do is he needs to visit us he needs to inject us with kadusha for us to be able to last the golas and therefore he gave us a 420 year reprieve with the building in the second Mr mcdosh was that a gaula absolutely not it was not a Redemption that based amigdush did not have ruach it did not have the shrina god wasn't there it was a temporary reprieve it was a recharge of their batteries during those 420 years the Tara shabao path expanded they made a decree you can't eat the bread of a guy they made a decree you can't eat the oil of a guy they made rabbinic decrees to prevent the Jewish people from intermarriage that all the denim durabanon came into effect not in by a solution by Ashanti without dinam drabana Pierre immediately they disappeared so fast they basically forgot the language they forgot Hebrew they don't speak Hebrew anymore when the Jews went to Babel in one in two generations we were about to disappear forever gave a second base tamikdas not as pikida as a remembrance and this is something that's brought in many many sparm and this is the concept that ravianus and ibischitz brings down over here look at number 10. um on the one two three four of the Fifth Line it's already explicit in all of them it was only remembering the goals were in today had already been Signed Sealed Delivered when the first place hamiktos was destroyed and if you look in the next paragraph of organisms what was the purpose of remembering us after 70 years and then exiling us again but says the purpose of the second base that migdash was to preserve the Jewish people during bias reshine because of the Roy vasiva satar because of the Great defecting from the Torah ulamir attacking you had very few Dinesh the average person forgot the Torah kemat and when they returned from the golos they forgot Shabbos they didn't look at the orange they have the The Ten Commandments there somewhere right they look over there all right the fifth one uh it's the where is it it's the fourth one right here it says the fifth one yeah that's how much they forgot right he mixed up among the goyam and they didn't know that they didn't he says they didn't know they just thought you know my parents always told me you go off to school just one thing I asked you don't marry a shiksa that's what they thought it was he gave us the second base not as but as a pikita ah so says the biakov kamonesky based on this concept all of these questions become very clear and that is looking look back at number nine one answer to all these 10 questions let's let's go through it says look at number nine is they knew as they built second base I think this they knew this building would not stand forever and they were not returning to Art Israel as a Gula it was not a destination it was only a station and their opinion was that the purpose of aishwani was to prepare them and to pave the way to preserve them in the gullus and had kiswell gone straight from horizont straight in tagalos there is no question says robyakov we would have disappeared as a nation so they built the second base and to instill in us the gazeros but in order to emphasize the idea that the second base of English was not a Gula yes they knew where the ring was they intentionally did not put the arrowing back so that cloudy so realizes this is not a real basamikdosh this is not the base of the bias three shine this is not the base to make this this is a temporary kala so to speak this is just an injection of kadusha to last us through Legolas and therefore cesariakov the oily bubble were no Hague as if they were still in gullus and what did they do therefore when they returned to aretz Israel they continued to call the names of the month the Babylonian the Persian names so that they should realize they're not redeemed they're still on Galas inert Israel they're really in Dallas Paras nobody should make a mistake and think yeah we've hit it this is the you know lest somebody think that they had reached to call the months of the year Babylonian and Persian names would not revert to speaking they continue to speak Aramaic even when the wrote the talmud babli only even Talent yushami davidafka wrote it in Arabic so that Kaliso should realize that they were still in Galas yeah the so what we see from here is that without the injection we would have been lost had that goal it's been 71 years with the Turkish about pair where we've been able to last this long in other words you see what happens to a Jew without adherence without adherence to the Israel the Jew disappears in two three generations with adherence Israel hopefully hopefully not hopefully we'll we don't need to we don't need that injection too much longer but the rebiakov says that the usual me wasn't written in in Aramaic because that's the only language that people understood it says it was badafka written in Aramaic to understand to emphasize the point that we were still in Galas when the hash monom appointed a king from the kohanim even though technically it was against the halacha but on the other hand the common did not want to speak up and say you know what you should really appoint the king from alpha space David because that would give the impression that we're going back to basamiktas and we're pointing Amela and we're ushering in the times of mashiach so they they let it be they let it be so that everybody understood this was not the the last ERA this was not the actress in order to get to the your swim up I don't know look one thing is they knew that are coming back then they knew the ghosts would last for uh hundreds of years and they knew the second base stomach does was not a ghoulash Lima you want to know now do we need to make a status that's not the subject of today's show I don't know the answer of that look one thing we know is it says that you need to be directed you need to seek it out so the question is how do you seek it out hierarchically right that the plastic says you need to be direct how are you doing if you know how to go to the Bank of America you know if we're we're tame is resume you have to at least desire it in your heart now what that means on myself that's not the topic of today's Year back to rabiaco if robyakov says like this the reason why the Navy prophecy is about the third base before the navi khagai prophecies about the second Masonic Dash is because from the time that the first place to make their stood the I the collective eye on the of the Jewish people was looking forward not to the second base of Magnus the anticipation and the yearning for the actress hayamim was from the time the novice prophesied about the third baseman that is is the ultimate Gula that is the Utopia that is that we all look forward to why would the ribosome second base I think this wasn't even in the cards it will plan to have a second base the plan was kaiso would go to Babel and hopefully be strong enough and and uh endure and have enough endurance to be able to last until the shiny was like a take two was okay if it ain't gonna work out that you're gonna endure the gaulas for two thousand years without disappearing I guess I'm gonna have to give you the prophecy of the navi khagai that there's going to be a second base to make Dash but the navihagai was somewhat of an afterthought it was the third base hamiktash when the Jews in the times of the second they always look forward to the third base something like this in fact I don't have it on the sheet but the RAM Khal writes that we know that base shall matter is you sure I am foreign was moved so we don't have a basement anymore but immediately when the first base hamikta shellmallow was removed immediately replaced it with the third baseman downstairs we only had second base at mcdosh it was always an incongruous but from the moment the first place I think this was destroyed the mikto shelmala was the third base not the second baseman okay so says that is the reason why when the kohanim appointed a king from the tribe of Levy the khakamim did not speak up well here comes one of ibiaco's classic ideas and this is back to the Emma sliak of Empires and rabiac of uh was known to be anishamas he was somebody who personified Midas MS um the first place of English I don't know I think that there's ever going to be a third baseman I don't have to do that because God promised us he told us so anyway the rebiakov says like this wasn't makeup making up any stories so imagine told client Israel you're going to be in mitzrayim 430 years um right and at the very least we have explicit that we're going to be there for 400 years and yet everybody knows we were there 210. so says the reactive do you really think that it was all a scam to begin with that Hashem said 4 30 and he said 400 but he didn't really mean it he only meant 210. he meant 400. the problem was in year 209 the Jews were in bad shape and had we met if we were going to remain there more than a year more we would have fallen to the no point of no return we would have fallen to the 50th level tomorrow and we never would have been been able to get out do me a favor I promise you're gonna be here 400 years I gotta keep my word I want you guys going out to the mid bar for three days You're Gonna Hear lectures from uh from arachim lectures you're gonna hear a shoe Rim you're going to hear the most amazing uh the most amazing shiram you're going to recharge your batteries you're gonna bring carbonus for three days and you're gonna be elevated to such a level that you'll be able to withstand another 190 years of golus that was the plan this was not a trick this was not a scam it was Hashem said 400 years oh I'll just count it from the years of Yitzhak if God says a number he means the number the problem was it wasn't working out the Jews were sinking fast so Hashem had to come up with a plan and that was the plan is we're gonna come back and we'll be super strong the same way the second base hamiders gave us fortitude for another 2 000 years the three days in the mid bar would give them fortitude for another 190 years the problem was powery said no look what do you want for my life Plan B I only said 400 years because that's what I meant power if you're gonna cooperate if you're not going to cooperate then we're gonna have to figure out another ASA so plan B is in the next six months of time I'm gonna have to condense those 190 years with the value of either you let them go for three days or you're gonna blow the Holyoke plan so what do you want from me I'm gonna have to start making calculations medulla galahar in the cafe salad voice and count to 400 years back from the time yet snook was born I mean pick your poison either you let him go for three days and then you have another 190 years of the Jews in your economy or we're gonna blow up your place in six months from now so power is said no so ivanishum said I don't have a choice I'm gonna have to take everybody out now and condense the the bitterness bitterness of the Sheba into the next six months of kamonesky and now finally we could understand apostlic in this week's passion that all of the mafarsham struggle with let us look at number um foreign look at number 12. foreign this is the meaning of the little of this simple interpretation of the word what about that yeah I mean look The Tackle of 80 of the Jews they they fell pretty low and they they couldn't make it out they didn't make it out no color means as opposed to temporary in other words until now the plan was only to go temporarily and now the plan is to go permanently very interesting that look in paraguio dalid Paso okay when matrium realized that yes what do we do we let them out what'd you let them out you don't remember you just had 10 markers and you told them to go what was that whoa they woke up in the morning what did we do what do you mean what do you do you're basically you were decimated so you decided to get them out of here before we all gone right the answers we thought now they're only going for three days now they see they ain't coming back so they decided to chase after them says reviakov kamonesky there are patterns in Jewish history and there are times in Jewish history where the evolution gives them atana not as not even as the beginning of kaiso sometimes needs Azog to be able to endure so we would have had that in the times of matrium parody didn't left that was what happened in the times of the second base the second base was not it was not the beginning of a Google the second is something this was what's called a pikita that's why the rabbis did not speak out about these xiaomi was really Aramaic so that Kaliso should realize that they're still in golus that's why the tanoy and amaron still maintained Aramaic names that's why prophecied before the nabihagai that's the meaning of the word kala that's why they didn't put back the urine in the times of the second base Summit Josh says in his opinion you know many wonder what is the role of the state of Israel in Jewish history and the answer is nobody knows that's the answer because we're not Hashem only Hashem knows you know we have no we know some people have different opinions about what it is rebiakov once uh spoke about this publicly and is published in his safer that after the period of the Holocaust and after really the religious decimation of Russian jury the Jewish people needed sort of a boost and a shot in the arm and the concept of the state of Israel says giving us a little bit extra to be able to endure whatever goals we still have to endure now we hope we don't have to endure so much of it like in the times and second base amigdash but again there are Concepts in history where the revansham gives matano Israel and the purpose purpose of it is to serve as a shot in the arm to allow us to continue to survive the gaula so there are patterns there are three days in the midvar there's a period of abayashani and there are other matanos and and benefits bestows upon Claudius says this is really an overarching understanding of Tanakh in general of the episode of utsius matrayim and should be something to be able to use and put in context the events of Jewish history until ad kiyagoi you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
