[Music] foreign [Music] heard sounds of Triumph Victory success emanating from the city of Rome and they wept they wept over the success of the enemy of the Jews but Rivia Kiva laughed when rabikiva was asked why are you laughing rabiki responded very simply imla Ivory wrote if this is the reward for those who violate the will of Hashem imagine the reward for the Jewish people who fulfill the building of Hashem likewise cried they wept when they saw foxes prancing on the Temple mount but Ravi Akiva laughed ravikiva said if the Prophecies of Doom and Gloom are being fulfilled surely the Prophecies of the future happiness of the Jewish people will be fulfilled how would Ruby Akiva look at Tish above Ruby Akiva probably would appreciate why Tish above is called a moyad as mentioned many times tishabov in a certain sense has the halachic status of amayed we don't say we don't say let us use the approach of revia Kiva and apply it to Tish above you know if you take all the tragedies that ever happened to the Jewish people Crusades Forest conversion Inquisition pagram Holocaust do you know how the navi captures all of these tragedies says for a brief moment I've forsaken you all of the tragedies of Jewish history God says I just forsook you for one moment but in the future with great Mercy I will gather you in in Fierce anger I hid myself from you for about a moment but with eternal kindness I will have mercy on you all the tragedies a small moment just a brief ing passing second the future Redemption the future Bounty happiness success the moistama that's relative to the tragedy it's great Mercy relative to the tragedy it's so the tragedy in the eyes of Hashem is small the success the happiness of the um great it's oylam eternal let's extrapolate now because we know the magnitude of Jewish suffering if the happiness of the of the days of mashiach is great and eternal compared to the tragedy what a what a great magnitude could we even imagine the scope of the happiness of the blessing of the success of the um and he and he would say if Tish above and the eyes of Hashem is just it's small and it's fleeting and the days of redemption are great and eternal then how happy do we need to be in anticipation in yearning and looking forward to the days of the coming of mashiach so if you want to have a little barometer what will the magnitude of the days of redemption be like we could apply the philosophy and the world view of Rabbi kivan say that if all the tragedy in the eyes of the almighty is just regga Katan and the um how great will the days of the coming of and this is all a lesson and an Insight that we glean from Tish above itself indeed Tish above may we all Merit to see
