there is a in this week's par it's the first p in it's a very unusual P it's an innocuous Pak so you read the verse and you wouldn't make anything of it it's impossible to translate the simple words of this B you ready it seems very innocuous in the first month on the first day of the month by the way what's the first day of the first month today now but it doesn't say in the first month and the first day it says the day of the first month what in the world does that mean the day of the first month we mean the the day of the first month which day just translate those three words in the day of the first month if it's a month it's not a day it should say in the first month on the first day of the month there's an extra word it should say what does it mean on the day of the first month what does that mean you know there's a a very important many people's favorite even though Nissan is a busy month teaches we do not say the whole month of Nissan many people love this you know they say there's a pleasure in life a go can never appreciate this pleasure you ready you're in a Sho and it's a Monday or Thursday ton it's a long and people you know you could if you do a test on people's moods people are in better moods on Sunday Tuesday Wednesday and Friday than Monday and Thursday and all of a sudden people start breathing very heavy at the end of the preparing for the long and there's a guy in the back he sheepishly raises his hand he he says you know I just got married I just got married wow ma everyone's ecstatic for the uh everyone's ecstatic for thean and everybody's even happier that there's no everybody enjoys this and the question is why not why don't we say in the month of Nissan so the says the first 12 days of the month were theot of the each brought aan to inaugurate the and the explains that when you bring a carban it's like a y for you so therefore the first 12 days are there's noon that's the first 12 days days is we don't say you have seven days of P it's eight days you have therefore we don't say in the month of Nissan so the asks okay that just explains certain days why don't we say the whole month says we don't say since the majority of the month has a reason not to say therefore we don't say the entire month which is very interesting you know since when do the laws of go by ro go by ro now brings this question and they say what about what about why do we say why don't we say so question is what do you mean why don't we say we just said the majority of the month has a reason not to say so what about the laws of majority why do we care about it seems like you ready for this K very important K it seems like if we can't explain the 13th of Nissan you don't have a ro because 12 days is not a ro and then AR of P seven days of p is nine days nine days is not a ro so you have 12 Days 12 is not is a n days is a you can't combine two to create Ro that's what it seems like so until we find the Lynch pin of see if we find a reason for then we go straight from the beginning of the until but if you can't explain giml then you don't have a ro because you can't combine m meaning a small segment to create a ro you know what the proof to this idea is I know you were thinking it right I could tell think about it well you said it I know I heard you m murmur yeah you said think about you have two days R you have AR yum kipur you have the four days between uh yum kipur and sukot ra says we don't say you have eight days of you have you have the majority of the month yet we say during and after why what about Ro must be must be that you don't have a ro because you have two days of rashash you have 15 consecutive days from until and there 30 days in always has 30 days 15 is not a ro of of 30 so you'll ask but in you have 16 consecutive days yeah you have Yumer you have Yumer you have four days in between and maybe the laws of are not determined by maybe it goes by you don't have a ro so why do you say why do you say because you can't make a ro out of be it as it may all the want to understand what's the reason we don't say you ready I'm going to just tell you now seven reasons why we don't say ready very quickly number one is a very early he said is the of the brought for 12 days so the 13th is for or the says so even though did not bring a but was that's dedicated for gives another three answers says in his footnotes on number one when did the Angels come to AB to tell him he's going to have a kid what day of the year was it first day of PES it was the third day of Abraham's mil which means when was Abraham's mil so the first mil in history was y or the last n who brought hisan the was for two days so even though the carban was brought on the 12th he could still eat it on the 13th or says there's an opinion of of that the year we left Egypt it wasab and the was but K was brought on Yim okay I want to share with you two original answers to this question of yiml okay somebody in Brooklyn you ever hear Brooklyn there's a planet called New York and in New York there's a country called Brooklyn someone inly P said if you look inim the gamar says which day of the year were more carbon brought than any other day says because anyone who came to theing the he has he he possibly hasn't been in the BET mikash what what if he flew to uh to I don't know where he flew to Turkey he has to bring a so by the time P comes people starts bringing the car P have to bring the carb to you can't bring carb to on P you can't bring it on PES we don't say m to on because there a lot of Loaves and you're not going to have time to eat it so last chance to bring the was the says Yan had more carot than any other day so in a way that was also a great holiday yiman was a great holiday because everybody brought the carban now you ready for this this is really an original reason foran I would argue yiman is the happiest day of the year do you know that Yim is discussed in the tanak in there's a man by the name of ham and he's you know rolling the dice trying to figure out a day that would be an appropriate day to kill the Jews and the says the says yeah it was the 13th of Nissan h on the 13th of Nissan scheduled the annihilation of the Jews for 11 months later in Adar he thought he was scheduling annihilation of the Jews really he was scheduling puim so what day was puim established so of course it's a holiday I mean who could forget about puim if you want know what day was puim legislated when when did H make okay these are all reasons for okay so now we have 12 days we have we have ER of p and we have P the only thing is the last seven days we don't have a reason not to say but comes and he says we go after R there's a sa called does not buy the he doesn't accept that since when do the laws of go by ro and he says if you look in doesn't say the reason we don't say is because of Ro adds one thing the will be built in okay so what does that have to do with so and qu in his footnotes on says I have a question for you you know we say we were redeemed in Nissan we're destined to be redeemed in Nissan when in Nissan when 15th the 15th it's not just the month of Nissan in general it's the first day of p in fact says explicitly says 15 words why because so the BD be built on the first day of P very nice when do we make the party you can make the party on P says the last seven days of Nissan are reserved for the inauguration of the thir we don't need to rely on the of every single day of Nissan is already accounted for every single day of Nissan has has a specific reason not to say now so i' would like to share with you another reason why every day of Nissan is spectacular and we don't need necessarily to come on to the reason of Ro but we could say every single day a special we just read this morning listen carefully to the words what are the next words this month is for you what does it mean this month is for you Ro says in the month of Nissan every single day has every that's what it means this month is for you every day has the K according to that we don't have to use Rove you don't have to say well most days are accounted for so the other days just get pulled along no every day has its own independent reason so let's just dig a little bit deeper into that idea then the month of Nissan every single day has K because yob is getting very nervous he gave this intro I always quote these faric rabbis and here I'm quoting all these ashkenazic rabbis so he's getting a little bit nervous and you look he invited me so we have to anybody know what month of the year did Abraham ainu pass away Yu sayses the remes is told [Music] Abraham passed away in it's brought in the sa um of ril Hal on his history work he quotes the Y wrote on that so so passed away so comes and says what passed away the said that the were born in and they not in so how could the med say that passed away no passed away says Ben and by the way the of luin says the same thing Ben says that the month of T each day corresponds to a different month each day is like the Roes of a different month so the first 12 days in by the way the way the Beno says it is there are days in Nissan that correspond to Nissan there are days in Nissan that correspond to there are days in Nissan that correspond toan passed away a Nissan on the day that corresponds to T which the of luin said the first 12 days corresponds to each month in fact he would be able to predict what would happen in a based on what what based on what happened on the seventh day of uh yeah on Nissan he was able to see in each day what would happen in the future month so says that there days in Nan that correspond to pass away in Nissan on the day that corresponds to I would say which day in Nissan corresponds to the first day of Nissan is the whole month of Nissan the second day is the third day is Sian the fourth is T the fifth is a the sixth is El the seventh is T the 10th then the 10th is T So passed away on shabas 10th of T oh maybe the reason it's called shabas is is called is the one individual in the tan is called so maybe it's called Shabbat it's the Shabbat of abrahamu so comes the in and he says now we could read the in this week's no it's it should say what does it mean on the day of the first month what does that mean on the day of the first month that means there's a day in Nissan that corresponds to the first month what day of Nissan corresponds to the first month today now the first day of you know in other words our question was it should say what does it mean what do you mean the answer is the first of is if you look in the he writes in one of his I'm sorry I didn't respond until now it was the month of Nissan time is at uh is at a premium each he says each hour of Nissan is like a day what does that mean like nobody understands what he means what does it mean an hour in Nissan is like a day the answer is if each day in Nissan is a month so each hour each hour is like uh is like a day so writes the month of Nissan he says if we would only understand how important how valuable how powerful every moment ofes would was we would not waste a we would not waste even a moment so this is the month that's predestined for g once had the to spend Shabbat with and he asked what does it mean we wait for M every day what do you mean we're going to be redeemed in Nissan it can happen at any time said the month of Nissan you need to wake up in the morning and say 5050 is happening today that's what it means it could happen any time but the the likelihood the stakes are much higher the the probability rises in the month of niss so we should be to take advantage of this special time of the year should give us to be and in the Merit of and that Merit hasem should bring us the so that the last seven days of we should for the of theen
