okay good afternoon
everyone great to see everyone today is
a special day first of all
it'ses Nissan and later this afternoon
will be a lunar a solar eclipse so I
hope everyone's very excited about
that today we're going to learn about
we're going to have two she first about
and then we're going to uh have a very
brief sheer about what to say when you
see the solar
eclipse more than just pass the
sunglasses okay um now first stuff
anybody would like to order the sa mag
on PES there are a few copies left andem
a new shipment is supposed to be
arriving
tomorrow um it's available at better FMS
stores everywhere or you could order it
on our site rabid
g.com the art scroll hag is also
available um you could get it at
artscroll.com or in farm stores near
you today we're going to learn about
Nissan this evening is uh the month of
Nissan it's a very special
month
tell and said that means that a person
should think that it's a very realistic
and likely possibility it's Mish
50/50 let us begin with the comments
of
brings that there's a minog to fast
three days to commemorate the fast of
M and Esther after PM Monday Thursday
and Monday however we don't fast Ines
Nissan why because on the first day of
Nissan the mishan was put up and then
the 12 were M of their
carban
and each one made a yum on their day and
so
too theik is going to be built in
Nissan says
the we don't say for the whole month of
and this is of
the that we don't say the whole month of
and we don't say and we don't eulogize
and we don't fast but I would like to
make a public service
announcement we do
say which is the short before you take
out the you
say many many people in jump
to it's
incorrect is not connected to it's
connected
to so the brings down this that we don't
say for the entirety of the month of
Nissan and the
b um deals with
this that we don't say in the whole
month of Nissan and the is the in other
words why wouldn't we say the whole
month so the brings
because the first 12 days of Nissan the
brought their carb and on the day they
bring their carbon it's considered like
a yam and then afterwards on the 14th is
of p and then
p and then is and if so the majority of
the month has now exited and therefore
we render the whole
month so what we see
is that
not every single day of Nissan has a
reason not to say t but since the
majority of the
month has passed badusha so the whole
month is considered holy so it's very
interesting we apply the following
rationale it's like rub K since the
majority of the month has passed in
kadus so therefore uh the whole month is
considered holy okay
comes and he quotes the question of
the and namely in namely many people
wonder what about the 13th day of Nissan
we explained the first
12 days we explained the 14th as of
P the 15th and on is the of P but we
have not explained
Yim so what's the reason not to say on
so what's interesting is I'm I would
like to share with you today seven
reasons why not to say
onim let's begin with the reasoning of
the
of and it's quoted in
the the the he says the reason why we
don't say on the 13 day of Nissan is
because the 12 were their on the 12 days
of N and Yim is is of
theim niss is the is of the 12 days
that's the reason why we don't
say and it always bothered me what do
you mean why we don't
say why do we need a reason not to
say didn't the mug quote from the that
we apply the since the majority of the
month has passed so we don't say the
whole month but why do we need
specifically to find the reason why we
don't say
on so I thought
perhaps that the reason why you need to
have a reason why not to
say is because if you merely have a
reason for 12 days and then for ER of p
and the seven or eight days of pesak
that's not
arrive the first 12 days is a mi the
next eight or nine days is a miat and
you don't have a to create a r you need
a contiguous block you need one
consecutive block of time so it's not
sufficient to say well we'll add the
first 12 days and then the middle um
eight or nine days and I'll get 20 days
that's surve that maybe doesn't create a
ro a ro is not when you have the
majority of the days but you need to
have majority of consecutive
days and therefore we need to sort of
fill in the missing uh link to connect
the first 12 days to the next eight or
nine days and that is Yim therefore you
need to have Yim and I'll bring you a
proof that in order to make a ro when it
comes to not saying the days need to be
continuous I bring you a proof from
Tish Tish has 30 days and if you count
all the days we don't have we don't say
t it's definitely Roy of the month you
have two days rash yum yum four days the
four days between yum and Su eight days
the eight days of suus 16 days is 17
days plus shabus you have at least
another shabas or two it's at least 18
or 19 days that you don't say takna
so why do we say in the month of when
the majority of the month we don't
say it must be because you don't have a
consecutive block of time that you don't
say rash is two days
arer
um uh AR
is two days the question though is
really you do have one consecutive block
of time that's the majority of the month
listen carefully Yumer Yumer the four
days in between
suus the eight days of suus and
then
is and in
in the answer is well that's only 15
days 15 is out of 30 is not
AR but the thing is in you have 16
consecutive days you
have yum the four days between yum and
nine days of
and unless you say the are not
determined by they're determined
by okay so back to the ranch we're
trying to explain why the 13th of Nissan
we don't
so far we had one answer
the that it's the of
the now another answer given by
the is that many have accustom to read
the para of the n on each respective Day
meaning on each day we read the para of
each
Nas
and the says and what do you say on yal
he says onim you should read the of the
because that corresponds
to was he did not have a in the soem
said your G is greater than them so that
means says the the first 1 days are all
all
holy and then the 13th is
K so it comes out the 13th day has its
own reason not to say t it corresponds
to sh Le that's answer number
two theer himself gives three
answers theer
himself says in
his three amazing answers to this
question number one he says that the
carbon of the were eaten for two days
and one
night
and
therefore
the
of even though he brought his Carbon on
the 12th of Nissan but it was Eden on
the 13th as well and since it was Eden
on the
13th therefore that day is also
considered a yam furthermore the says we
have a tradition based on barous Raba
that sedim was overturned on the 16th of
Nissan
which would mean the malim came to
Abraham the day before on the 15th of
Nissan now we know they came to Abraham
on the third day of Abraham's mil which
would then mean that Abraham's mil
listen carefully Abraham's mil was on
Yim because
it's okay so this gives us another
reason why you or says
the the year the Jewish people
left he says the
carbona was brought on yud gim
Nissan
why
because Tes
Nissan was a Sunday
there is a
Sha of the
remel that ER of PES came out on chabas
and if ER of PES comes out on chabas the
curent PES
is however the carbon is notab so they
brought the carbona on Arab
shabas they brought the carbona on Arab
shabas so therefore it was a yam because
on a day that CL brings carbano it's
considered a
yam okay so that's so far we have five
reasons why Yim is a y number one we
have the reason of the
it's we have the reason of the
it's we have the reason of
the that either it was
the of the second day of or it was the
the mil of Abraham aino or
friends instead of that it was the mil
of Abraham ainu it was
the in
sh I want to share with you two original
reasons
foran the first reason number six I
heard from my friend Rabbi
poro
there's we all know that we don't say m
P because the would be eaten the next
day or actually because the you bring
many loaves with it and you can't eat
after so therefore we a Carbono was not
brought on era of P so when all the Jews
went to be
oal they you know they hadn't been there
since suus and maybe they crossed the
sea to get to isra or they crossed the
midbar and they all had to bring a
carbon TAA when did they bring a carbon
TOA when they were o for PES and the gar
says that the 13th day of Nissan was the
day of tremendous bringing of
carbonis tremendous bringing of
carbonis
and therefore I would humbly suggest
excuse me this I heard from RAB pitz RAB
pit shared that he wanted to suggest
that the reason why you giml Nissan is
considered yam is because the a good
chunk of Cl many Jews were M the carbon
um to the carbon to on that day
on again on yal they couldn't bring it
because it would easily
become but Hashem gave you me mat
another reason friends why is a day not
to say and that is in a certain senseim
Nissan is one of the happiest days of
the year how
so who remembers from Milla
sester what happened on
Yan ham cast the lots to destroy the
Jewish people
on
um
he remember what it says in the
[Laughter]
Milla on the 13th day of Nissan hamon
cast lots to be able to destroy the
Jewish people now he thought he was
scheduling the annihilation of the
Jewish people but little did he know he
wasn't scheduling the annihilation of
the Jewish people he was scheduling the
happiest day in the history of the
Jewish people he was scheduling when the
Y of P would be so
since so since he was
scheduling the uh
yam and he scheduled it on
Yim Yim Nissan so perhaps that's the
reason why Yim Nissan is a festive day
and we don't say again
because is the day that H scheduled
to be able to he thought annihilate the
Jewish people but in effect he was
really scheduling thep of PM
now what's very interesting RAB is if
you look in
the ofar of
Amsterdam he is not pleased with the
reasoning of the that we don't say in
the whole month because
of because if you look
at
doesn't say we don't say because
of the
the seems to imply something
about an amazing occurrence happening in
the end
of what is
that the says
that the is destined to be
built therefore we don't say month what
is that referring to that bik is
destined to be built in that
month
um so the Mas says as follows he says we
have a tradition that the eradication of
amalik will be on the 14th of
Nissan and first will be the destruction
of amalik and then the
bash so therefore says the
will be destroyed
on the bik will be
built soon
after and the B will be built
on excuse me the master says that am
will be finally destroyed
on when we burn the that's when we're
going to destroy amalik the bdes will be
built on the 15th of Nissan but there's
a
principle and therefore the inauguration
of the third base mikdash will take
place in the final seven days of Nissan
the final seven days of the month will
be the time of the inauguration of the
third
now this idea that the third base will
be inaugurated at the end end of Nissan
is not unanimously
maintained
because if you look in the malum in Seer
Ezra the malum says
that that we have a tradition that the
third Bas H mikash will be
inaugurated on the
23rd of
Adar
he says the kanuka ofel will begin on
the 23rd of Adar so there is an opinion
that the third B mikdash will be
inaugurated sort of at this time of the
year but the M brings the traditional be
inaugurated in the final seven days of
Nissan by the way according to the Mas
we no longer have to come on to the s
that since the majority of the month has
emanated in kadus therefore we don't say
in the whole month no according to M
every single day of Nissan has its own
independent reason why we don't have to
say the first 12 days are the days of
the of
the the 13th we gave seven reasons not
to say either it's is or it's the day of
Ley or
it's the second day
of or the of of or that was the day the
Thea was brought brought or that was the
day the to the carbon TOA was brought or
that was the day that H scheduled
p p you have seven days of P you have is
and the final seven days of Nissan are
reserved for the future inauguration of
the now the gives us another reason why
the whole month of Nissan is Holy he
says Nissan is the beginning of the
year and this month it was revealed to
the Jewish people the great
hash of to is and the reason why the
month of Nissan was picked is because
the MIT worship the constellation of
Nissan the tle which is the head of all
the
constellations the T services in the
month of
Nissan that's why we find in that the
Maka of bad
um that's what we find in the Mak
of the
par was um was humbled he
said God is righteous and I and my
cohorts were Wicked
but by Mak excuse me by Mak AR
par became Brazen and he chased out and
by he had even
more he said I never want to see your
face
again why why what happened to par
that
um what happened to par that originally
he said that God is righteous and then
he changed his mind and he said he
chased them out and then he said I never
want to see your face again he said as
follows because as the month of Nissan
was approach approaching Paro became
reliant on his
Ma and he said you know what as if I
could somehow get around T Nissan I have
nothing to be afraid of because my mule
is strong in the month of
Nissan so God specifically waited till
the month of Nissan when the masle of
MIT was dominant to destroy it and to
show that he controls the world so the
month of
Nissan was chosen to demonstrate the
power of
the and therefore the says we don't have
to come on to the reason of the majority
of the month has exited in kadus but
rather we could say that the whole month
of Nissan is kades because of this
reason that it demonstrated the power of
the ofes
I would humbly
suggest an original reason why the
entire month of Nissan is
considered and it's holy and we don't
have to come on to the reason
of and the
uh says as follows this what what I
would like to suggest is based on the
Kadesh the Kadesh says the to establish
the days of Nissan as holy and
not and this is in
the you know it's very interesting if
you look in the it
says this month is to
you
it almost sounds like this month is to
you says that's right with the PK is
saying that every single day of Nissan
has the Kad of each day has a status
of this month is to you the beginning of
the month each day every day of has a
status
of this month is to
you every day is
like and we're going to explore in the
second half of this
sh what this means that every day of
Nissan has a status
ofes obviously we don't
say we don't even have every day but
nevertheless every day of Nissan has a
certain kadus to it as it's as if it has
the status of
and if so we don't have to come on to
the reasoning of the qued by the that we
don't say in the whole month of Nissan
since the majority of the month has
emanated in kadus but rather we could
say every single day of Nissan is
spectacular every single day of Nissan
is wondrous because every single day of
Nissan has the status
ofes now I would like to share with you
and the second part of
the the meaning what does this mean that
every single day of Nissan has a status
of okay in the Chas of the the r of
the
he
says I got your letter Arab
chabas and you wanted me to
answer but I want to tell you these days
are so
precious every hour is like a day every
hour is like a
day so let's try to explain what does
that mean that every hour of Nissan is
like a
day you know I I could say and I'm sure
you've all experienced it you know
sometimes you're able to be more
productive than other
times but there's this idea that in the
month of Nissan every single hour is
like a day what does this
mean you know the tells us
in we were redeemed and in Nissan were
destined to be
redeemed why past performance has no
bearing on future outcome why are we
destined to be redeemed in
Nan
in there's an astounding P you ready for
this friends we
say on the day of the first
month on the first day of the
month you should put up the mishan what
does it mean on the day of the first
month it already
says it it should
say what does it
mean what does it
mean it should
say what does it
mean another interesting question if you
look
in and it's brought the
he brings that Abu passed away in the
month
of it
says you will be buried in good in good
you will be buried in good old age what
exactly does this mean that AB
ainu will be
buried in good old
age
what exactly does this mean that AB Ain
will be buried in good old age so the Y
says it means he'll be buried in the
month of
Taves Taves is the secret of
goodness and if it
says will be buried in the month
of in this month the Mas cling to the
like it says
ET
okay comes
out by the way um the also writes passed
away in in by the
way
is fine the question is this is openly
against the gamar the gamar says
explicitly that that the aice were
either born in Tish
and died in Tish and Rua says and we
passing like Rua they were born in
Nissan and they died in Nissan so how
could arino passed away in the month of
T how could the mystical sources say
that arino passed away in the month of
when the gar says that he passed away in
the month of Nissan
comes says something astounding he says
if you look in the Seer
car that he says
that the month of Nissan incorporates
all the months of the years there are
days of Nissan that correspond to T Abu
died in
Nissan on the day in Nissan that
corresponds to Tav meaning there are
Nissan days in Nissan there are ER days
in Nissan there are s days in Nissan
there are t days in Nissan a since
Nissan Nissan is like you know the
placenta the cell the embryonic cells it
incorporates all the entire year
it's their days in Nissan that
correspond to
T definitely passed away in Nissan but
in the day of Nissan that corresponds to
T by the way the Agra
dalala writes that now we understand the
P PUD it says on the day of the first
month on the first of the month why
isn't it say on the first day of the
first month it should
say it should say on the first day the
first month why does it say on the day
of the first month what does it mean the
day of the first
month the first day of Nissan is the day
that encapsulates the whole first month
in other words if you wanted to know
which day in Nissan corresponds toes
Nissan it's the first day of Nissan so
the first day of Nissan is the day of
the first
month the first day of Nissan is the day
of Nissan which by the way the
Shar writes that this is why we
say that if the month listen
carefully you know why we
say the month of
Nissan what what day of Nissan
encapsulates the whole
Nissan the first day of Nissan the first
day of Nissan is the day of the
N of yud the source
of so since the whole month of Nissan is
rooted in the first day which is the day
of Mal of Mal therefore this month which
is rooted in maluda is the month
predisposed for the coming of the
G
comes the sh the and he says according
to this we come we've uh
discovered a
amazing reason why shabas before PES is
called
shabas we know that when the B left MIM
they left on a Thursday the shabas
before was the 10th of the
month they tied a a goat a g to the post
of their bed
and the teeth of the mitz were they were
nashing their teeth and we battled their
firstborn and we killed many of
them now that means listen carefully how
does Nissan correspond to the whole year
the first day of Nissan corresponds to
Nissan the second day of Nissan
corresponds to ER the third day of
Nissan corresponds to Sian and what do
the 10th day of Nissan correspond to
Tes
the the re the masle of Tav is G the
goat that's why we tied the goat to the
te to the door post excuse me to the bed
post on the 10th of the month because
the 10th of Nissan is Tav the tenth of
Nissan corresponds to Taves the masle of
Tav is G
by the way what we know that every month
has a per has a corresponding name of
hav sh hav and the sh hav that
corresponds to Tav
is from the ends in ends in a ends in
a ends in a therefore it's called
shabas because the source of that day
which was the 10th of the month is from
godal
um furthermore I would humbly suggest a
new reason why it's called shabas you
ready for this and on chabas I found
support from the I'm going to I'm going
to bring it right
now okay I'm back with you I just went
to run to get a safer it's called May
shra on the hag I'm sure you're all
familiar with the uh classic
may this is like you know the classic
safer you give a bar MIT boy if you
don't want to spend a lot of money and
you want to give him so instead of you
know you you save a few bucks you could
give this to him but this was like the
classic saer you give mitz it was
compiled by Alexander zusa Friedman
which I understand he was a Kusa of my
great-grandfather
in so he
has and I saw on shabis a support to
this idea that I would like to um
advance
according to the benay how do we
reconcile the mum with the gamar the
gamar says passed away in Nissan and the
I'm sorry the gamar says AB passed away
in Nissan and the mum say he passed away
in
T and the says he passed away in Nissan
Abraham passed in Nissan on the days in
Nissan that correspond to
Tes so that what day inan corresponds to
Tav Tav is the 10th month he passed away
on Yan abam passed away on chabas right
on the 10th day of
Nissan what is Abraham ainu called in
tanak if you look in yahushua he's
called the great
man God and what they did he pass away
on the tth of Nissan so now we
understand why it's called shabus hag
it was the day of the passing of Abraham
ainu isn't that amazing it's the day of
the passing of abrah ainu so I saw in
chabas that the rambam writes the whole
life of Abraham he was hoping he was
waiting to be able to create a nation
who would accept the Yoke of heaven and
now that to and MIT were given to clel
the ambition the yearning of ABR ainu
was fulfilled so now because now it was
determined that that
is and since the says was
called this shab that cles over M MIT
became the shab of cuz now his wishes
were
granted ah so we just quoted before from
the
schah that every day in niss is like
that every day of Nissan has K
inherently but we did not explain what
is it about Nissan that every day has
the Kad ofes what is it about Nissan
that every day has the status of but
according to what we're learning from
the bay and other sources that each day
of Nissan
encompasses entire months the first day
encompasses the whole Nissan the second
day ER the 10th the whole Tav
so we understand now what it means that
the month of Nissan has the status ofes
CU literally every month encompasses an
entire
month according to the above we could
understand the depths of what we began
the second part of the share with AB who
said that the time of Nissan is so
precious an hour is like a day an hour
is like a day
we we asked how is an hour like a day
why is an hour a Nissan like a day the
answer is if every day of Nissan
encompasses a whole
month then you understand every hour of
Nissan encompasses a whole
day and we'll conclude with the Holy
words of the
K who
says that this month belongs to us the
kak is given to us if we would know
what it is and what we could do
says we would not be M even one moment
we would not be M even one
moment a day of Nissan corresponds to a
whole
month an hour of Nissan
corresponds to an entire day and
therefore we have to make sure not to
waste even one moment every moment this
is like the beginning of the year just
like you know the cells of the embryo
and the beginning of its formation it
contains in it the ability to create an
eye a liver a heart in the original
cells of a human being they Encompass
all the future development and growth of
this uh entity likewise the the the time
matter of the beginning of the year
encompasses the entire year so first
we're that as the month of Nissan is
coming we should be finally that just
like
should and should give us to utilize our
time properly productively and we should
be to all the great influences of if you
want to hear some stuff about the solar
eclipse for a few minutes you could hang
