out uh next week and um okay the other exciting announcement or it's actually if anybody likes making something called shorts which are short clips of videos um we're looking for some volunteers okay let's start with the first Shear D um and let me oh here yeah here we go by the way if you want to sign up to our emails at office rabid dg.com you can go to our site rabid dg.com which has been really updated and has a tremendous index built by my good friend Raa Morgan okay so first year today D ya connecting to the the par to the hasana okay um we know that the Bam are how many days who could tell me who could tell me how many days are the B Hamed s you know starting with uh what morning well you have we want want right we start with SH on a Tuesday and Tish is on a Tuesday so it's three weeks and one day they're 22 days of even though the rash the mar famously says that there 21 days in the B for some reason that count does not include Tish the Full Count incorporates 22 days well lo and behold I found in the from the sages of Yemen who explain the opening p in is a reference to the you know why it is the biggest P that opens up any of the [Laughter] you now any words are on the opening of 22 words in the opening of corresponding to the ban H I also found this in theas also my good friend Ral an friend I mentioned this idea to me we then move on to the remes of the tells us that the opening P of the par is a reference to the two main a that caus the number one we know the B was destroyed because of says first B was destroyed because of second was destroyed because of this teaches us is equal to all three sins but the says that is equal to all three sins so the says that the the refers to was the that led toar however K tell us not everyone speaks lashara but everyone speaks aak lashar so the first word of the par is and the other one is the second main cause of theb is which is very interesting to me because the gar doesn't say as one of the causes of the second m mikdash it only lists that for the first B mikash for the second B mikdash the gar says they had they were Tyra so this is what I like to say I like to say just look at our generation there's more Tyra in our generation than in any other time in history and at the same time there's more B Tyra in our generation than in any time in history so it sounds like a dichotomy I don't think so you know we have so many um we have an easier lifestyle back in the day they had to work you know 8:00 a.m. to they had to work the whole day nowadays you know they have a short work week and people could work from home and people have long lunch breaks and there's more learning today you have Arts SC missa Torah anytime you have all the resources you could imagine so there's more learning and there's also more B people waste their time more than ever so it's interesting the Z says that was the cause of also the second B mdash in any event the says that the opening P of the par is a remes to the main causes of theban we move on Rashi explains pan is a secret Reb for the sin of the MIM which the mirum were sent from midbar pan is a reference to the AAL you know that's very interesting is that correct is it an order when was rebuking the Jewish people why is he first rebuking them for the and then theal everybody knows theal was right when they left Egypt the moram was not until later so my friend RAV Emanuel Bernstein pointed out to me that according to our approach of D where a par is connected to the time of the year it comes out very uh noteworthy why in par there's a remes to the morim before the AAL because this week is the par of Tish so before Tish we first focus on the a which is the source of Tish the source of is the by the way moreover the truth is it should say it's a mistake over the is a major theme in our para this is a mistake the is a major theme in our para from um parak I think it should say if you look in the para there's a major topic is the hamam so for example from per Al it should say from it talks about you think it's a coincidence that this week the before we talk about the it is uh we speak about the because that is the topic at hand that is the sin that is the root and the cause of Tish now my friend RAB Zone pointed out that the K on this Bane Bane why does it keep on saying Bane and Bane the cleak says that the is AZ to the between and um and so again and he learns differently than is a reference to the but he says is a reference to he says the word is often used in reference to like in okay on the words 11 days from teaches that this is a reference to as well on the words 11 days from says hurried them up in 3 days says Tish is the day that Yakov wrestled with the angel and his hip socket was dislocated and Hashem did not want the day of Tish to be in the 40 days of the maragam which was the day of panus therefore hasem rushed them in three days so that the Morag would be able to come back on the eth of a before Tish and had they not sinned they would have been able to repent and complete shua that night of Tish would have been rectified and the C of Yakov would have been rectified as it will be that's why it says Midel meaning until the KA of yov will be rectified but because they made a mistake and they spoke lashan Hara um they ruin this but that's why right after Tish the power of the Sam the S was B and they were able to do chuva but learns that this is a of hasem orchestrated that the maragam should not be involved in their sin on Tish cuz that would have been utter disaster at least this way they came back before Tish now what's interesting is the most notable connection to is the [Laughter] word and it says in if we would have been we would have only had to read but because we were not we have to read [Laughter] also the mentions three people said M saw the Jewish people in their Tranquility he said yes saw us in our lowly State he said saw us in our defilement and he said by the way the points out that there's a very important connection between theik and he says the reason why we read before Tish is because we want to read and K speaks about the rebuke for thein so therefore we read which is also words of rebuke um my friend brought to my attention got angry at mha because of the Jewish people and says you know had we not sinned with the moram then we would have been able to go into Israel and then mha would have taken us in and then the G would have come and if later on in history Hashem would have been angry at the Jewish people we would have been on a high enough level that we could do chuva but because of the now in the future if we sinned we can we cannot rise up to the level that we were expected soem cannot let enter Because if he would the B mikdash would never be destroyed and Hashem would not have a way so to speak to vent his wrath on the B mikdash so because of the which lowered drastically de markedly the level of the Jewish people that because of thatu was not able to go into so because of the that had an impact onu himself now this is an original idea and I think it's a very powerful observation in terms of there's a theme that to me repeats itself throughout the para and that is the greatness of the land of Israel the greatness of Earth Israel we know the sin of the moram what was the sin of the maragam that they did not have proper appreciation for Isel they did not show proper love and yearning for the land there's an idea that reiterates itself throughout parar namely in the beginning of the parem says I'm going to give you the borders of the land are until the Great River the Euphrates River Rashi is bothered why is it called the Euphrates River because it's mentioned in connection with the land of Israel and as the proverb As the adage goes associate with a king and you'll be royal the servant of a king is a king So to a river that is associated with the land of Israel is automatically great so here we have the idea that anything associated with is immediately is infused with greatness elsewhere the says called and others called it and Rashi says elsewhere it's called says Rashi so that means it has four names who cares says Rashi this teaches us the praise of the land of Israel that four different nationalities gloried that they owned it and they gave it a name that they owned this area this one says I'll call it my name and the other one says I'll call my name this shows the greatness of Isel again you think it's a coincidence that the par before Tish we have this idea that the Torah is emphasizing and highlighting that the the greatness of the praise of that four different nationalities were vying to be able to name a specific area and then further the writes uh we have um PK I think it should say perak Alf PK per Alf the PK says elenu the maragam took the fruits of the land and they brought it down to us says Rashi from here we see Earth Isel is the highest of all lands question is that true is the land of Israel the highest of all lands you don't have mountains in in America that are tall the cat skills are not taller than the land of Israel what about the app what about the Rockies are definitely taller there are many many mountains and areas in the world taller I don't even think the land of Israel in the top 10 so what's what that if you have a ball what's the highest place on the ball it depends what the focal point is it depends how you hold it so whatever the focal point of the ball is that's the highest point when kazal say that is the highest land it doesn't mean it has the highest altitude it's whatever the center point of the world is it depends how you focus on the world so if you had a globe and you turned it where the land of Israel was on top then of course it's the highest point why would we do that the answer is because that is the center point of the universe just ask the New York Times even the New York Times is masim to this gamar that the center point of the universe is the land of Israel every news Outlet every member of the media acknowledges they don't even have to they let us know that the center point of the universe is obviously you know that Israel is the biggest country in the world did you know that it's the biggest country in the world it has the largest population I mean I didn't just take a census and I didn't measure I'm just judging by the amount of attention it gets in the news that this land of Israel it's like an it's like the eighth continent you didn't know that it's bigger than Africa I mean if you had to measure the amount of attention the land of Israel gets compared to any other place in the world you would think it's as a land mass the size of Asia it has a population like India or China that's what we're learning Artis is the highest point in the world because whatever the focal point of the world is that's the spot on the circle that's considered the highest again all of these ideas are expressed in the four names of of the that this is all by reading this it's a t for the who they demeaned the value of okay said that's our first offering for today recording
