this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com like we said in the slikhas this morning uh there are five tragedies that occurred to claudius on shavasana tamas and five on tishabhav so it's interesting the mishnah could have said five things that happened in shivasupatamus and listed them and then the mission could have said five things happened on tish above and listen to them no the lesson of the mission is five things happened on shavasana tamas five things happened on teshav and then the missional list the five things that happened shabbas with thomas and the five things that happened in tesuba the mission implies that there's some commonality between the five of shavasana thomas and the five of tisha somehow like they parallel each other five on to the timeless five on tishwa okay now i'm going to tell you what they are there also seems to be some kind of significance to the number five five things happened on shimasu thomas five things i'm like and somehow if it would be four and five or five and four it just like wouldn't be symmetrical it wouldn't fit in it wouldn't be right it's smoother now it's real it comes out nice so what exactly is the significance here so maral understands that there is a very specific importance to the number five both on shibasa potamos and on tishbov this comes from the safer venezuela these are this is from the makshava of hagon with moisture shapiro so the idea is like this and hopefully we can explain it as best as possible the morale learns that the number five uh corresponds to the oise the letter hey the oys hey represents uh creation and building the letter hey always reflects binion in fact the vilna gain he quotes and the his commentary that safra that's niusa explains that even the image of the letter hey represents creation so you have a little a little yoda right in the leg that represents us that represents existence that's like intrinsic existence the small dot that's kim hailem and then the ribosome created yeshmeien so the little that is the yesh and then we have a line that goes from right to left and a line that goes from safan to dharam that represents the concept that after hashem created methios he spread it ledal confess from right to left and from up to down that's the letter hey hey represents creation in fact there's not resound we've probably said it over many times already that the letter hey is the letter of fertility to have a child you need the influence of the letter hey so for example avram and sarai had no hay in their names that resell says so they had some kind of difficulty so hashem gave them avram got the letter hey sara got the letter hey in fact that result says this is maruma's in the past is the letter of children why because the letter hey represents binion it represents creation represents creation yitzhak and rifka she had a hate they had a child it was difficult yitzhak didn't have the hate rivka had the hay yaakov has no hai rakhal has no hey leia is okay leia has children she has the hay rakal has no so what does she do she says i'll give you bill ha billa has two hays maybe i could be built from me from her hey that's that reason rizal writes this a number of times the letter hey is the letter of fertility it's a letter of binion hey represents existence the ud is and the two directions represent it being the shade in fact that result says there are two ways three ways to spell hey there's hate you could spell out hey aleph hey hey and hey you'd yeah hey you're means hey is a woman hey yod means she's pregnant with a with a zakhar hey hey she's pregnant with an akeva and hey alif right could be hey hey hey yod hey alef hey alef is some is maybe twins maybe something else but the letter hey that rewrites that's where the three ways in gamatrya when you when you figure out words the hey could always be spelled in three ways hey alef anyway so the concept here is and remember speaks about this at length is shavasavatamos and tishba parallel each other the five tragedies of shabbaswatamas parallel the five tragedies of tishb and they simultaneously destroy the world and create the world meaning as follows before shavasana tamas think about the massive of the world hashem gave us the torah there's no death right it says that before before we send with the egal we were going to live forever we were going to be infinite we were going to be eternal like before the height of the tadas and when moshe broke the luchas and after the hero ego we had to die again so hashem so to speak had to recreate the world the world was recreated on shavasana thomas there were new things that were brought to the world miso was brought to the world shakira was brought to the world i believe zara was brought to the world the world was recreated the world was originally created to be perfect but ultimately we sinned with the it's hadas but we were massacring that at matan torah shiva also but thomas recreated the world there were things introduced to the world that did not exist before there was no such thing as avoiding zarah untoshivasabatamas that kind of sheker was created that's the concept of the five things the five things represents a creation there is a new binion on shiva's batamas on the other hand it could be looked at that srivastava thomas and destroyed the world the world was now if the world is created by right we know hashem created this world with the letter hey we say it every morning hashem god created with ayud and he created with a hay now i'm going to tell you tube shot him why did god have to use a hay to create this world so the gemara says you look at the letter hey it's easy to fall out in this world it's very easy to fall out you could be a govaldic you could be very from you could be very observant you could be very dedicated you could fall out when you're 10 you could fall out when you're 11 you can fall out when you're 12 you can follow when you're 20. you can follow when you're 30. you can vote when you're 40 yo though fell out when he was 80. that's this world it's a very it's a very tenuous world it's easy to take a misstep in in different areas in life and you can lose it all that's that but you could always come back in that's what the kumar says there's a hole to get back in sugamar asks why can you come back through the same hole no it's not easy once you fall out you need extra ciata to show you have to that's what the gemara says i once read one of rabbi arya kaplan's books why did hashem create the world with the letter hey so yes why does some create the world with anything why do we say hashem created the world by speaking why do you have to speak why couldn't he have just thought hashem could do anything the answer is it's just the mashal the mushroom is for god to create this world it was a cinch think about what's the easiest letter of the hebrew alphabet to articulate and pronounce the letter hey doesn't require any of the five um faculties of speech it's just the breaths so it doesn't mean hashem created the world but hey it just means it was very easy for our brother to create the world so that's the concept there are five things that happened shabazz with thomas five things that happened on tishbo was broad introduced into the world new ideas new concepts that were far in to what the world was before and it hurled the world into a state of khorben one final thought you know the kriya satoru that we have on any particular day is very much connected to the essence of that day only on a tightness we do something in the kriya satora that we don't do any other time and that is we jump we're reading vaikal and one column of the sephora torah and we do something that halachically we're not allowed to do at any other time when you're laying from the hummish you can only do when you lay in front of the navy we actually jump an entire column we skip we skip the next column and we go to the third column value soil so what do we see from that what's what's the significance of that there must be some kind of idea that on a on a tightness we have to realize there's a gap there's a whole there's something in in us because the torah and claudius are one so it's so to speak there's a gap in our torah there's a gap in us there's a gap we have to fill in something's missing we're not making the connections you know we're here we know there's a torah we know there's a god but there's something missing there's a disconnect we have a disconnect between what we know as what we saw cilantro says the biggest gap in the world the largest space in the world is between the head and the heart we know everything but we don't feel it we don't feel it that's the message of the christopher the tightness that all the things that we know to be factual to be true to be ms but we're lacking in our life we're lacking in our perception of it and our feeling of it so we should be zoeka that through this tinus which is the yamchuva lamale and we should be zakah to the binion have a easy fast you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by
