this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay brookhome welcome everyone the shurim on safer devarim are sponsored by dr zakim tonight's show is sponsored by our good friend rebel yazar jacobowitz as his host for mordechai you should find his diving bokarov also sponsored by our dear friend abba ram kashayaram leila nishmasa's mother is and also sponsor anonymously in honor of a anonymous rav whose birthday is today okay thank you very much and um we continue in our shuriman seifer divarim this week of course is practically and it is known by the special appellation of shabbos nachamu let's begin with the following observation in pasha's vascanan we read it's a very important reading there are a lot of highlights in practice it happens to be my bar mitzvah parsha and one of the big highlights of the asar sadibros so we read about kabbalah satora and that is certainly worthy of note why is it that immediately after tish above we read about kabal satora here it is we just fasted and we had three weeks of mourning and all of a sudden we read about kabbalah satya why kabbal satara come in the aftermath of tishbov so the avoidance israel the khashnat sarmagit he says as follows kajun surmaget says that on tishbov you weren't able to learn so we had so to speak a break from learning we had a severance from learning we couldn't learn so because we couldn't learn and because we had this break immediately after we have to come back and renew our commitment to the torah we have a new kabbalah satora hence we have the asar sadibris in the immediate aftermath of tishbov so we sort of re-energize our dedication to the torah and we have we read about kabbalah satire right so this is what you're saying it came after yeah right so the idea being this this this idea is based on the principle that devarim good oil and inability big things are never coincidental so if divine providence had it that things were orchestrated in this way we have a right to examine why did the divine hand have it that that that service should be read after tishma and we're trying to give an explanation okay so let's uh try to investigate another approach we're going to begin with the comments of the sephirah yosef oymets which is a collection of minhagim and dinim of uh the german community in frankfurt of harab yosev han han is a german name and he says as follows he says after the ninth and the tenth of the month of in other words after the ninth and the tenth of the month you have to move on you have to get over it you have to move on with your life you have to remember the consolation to the point where the marshal writes the following psaq there were so there are some people that are careful not only not to meet in the nine days but they don't eat meat and they don't drink wine for the entirety of the three weeks they're such accustomed however the marshall says that it is not correct to extend that custom after the tenth and if one does so it is wrong and you don't even have to imagine either in other words if this is your custom you go let's say uh four weeks or whatever your custom is if somebody goes beyond the three weeks they don't even have to be materned there one can sort of break this practice without any need whatsoever to be mata because it's wrong it's incorrect you're not accustomed yourself in more availos then is legislated in fact the yosef oimetz says that a proof to this and even though the words in marshall do not need is that there's an early custom get a load of this time on tish above women would go into the shower and take a shower on tish above after midday why because mashiach is born menachem is born on tish above and to commemorate that women would bathe and clean their head on tishabav why he says just like we're obligated to make azer to the horben and the we likewise have to make azekhar to the redeemer and to the consoler so that we don't give ho up hope from gu'ula so the call boy brings an amazing minogue and i don't think this is in practice today nor do i think this would ever fly but there was an ancient custom among clarissa that the women would bathe and wash their heads from tish above the afternoon and on from here we see that practicing avelos after this man is also you cannot extend the avedos whatsoever beyond this man even though again this this particular example is only for women this particular example is given for nashem nevertheless it's a principle that we learn from here that once this man is over one has to forget about the avelos and has to move on and think about the nuchamma and the gula and therefore the yosef aymets says furthermore he says because of this we call the shabbos after tishbov shabbis why because named after the haftarah of course the torah is it's the best after of the year first in my bahamas torah and even besides that it's one of the only weeks of the year the whole shabbos is named after the haftarah when else do we call the shabbos after haftarah we have shabbos and shabbos shiva but it's not a common phenomenon and and therefore says yosef omits um you should sing more on the shabbos you should say more pieutem on the shabbos and you should enjoy and rejoice in this shabbos more than any shabbos the whole year he writes about and likewise he quotes the ibn shiva that it's a mitzvah to make this shabbos like a yamtif very interesting so shabbat a tourist trap to get people to go up to the catskills and buy tickets to a concert but that it's based on the early writings of the yosef oymets that one should enjoy and rejoice in the shadows more than any other shabbos during the year should sing more be messianic in the shabbos and from here we see that once the availas is over you can't extend it you can't say oh i want to be a big sadiq i'm going to mourn your shallam an additional week once the availas is over it's over so that's an important thing so one thing we have to think about is we have the shabbos called what is the nakama what is the consolation we had three weeks we commemorated the destruction of the first temple we commemorated the destruction of the second temple we over the course of tishv we said 45 kenneth we spoke about various murders and massacres and disasters okay oh it's over okay it's over but what exactly is the consolation so oh the consolation is the navi ushaya says console console so imagine somebody goes into a shiva house and the mourners are sitting on the floor and they're crying and they're mourning and they're weeping and somebody comes in console console they'll kick them out what kind of nonsense is that what's the consolation what do you mean console console what is the nahamah and what's even more interesting is that there's another quasi-jamtif around this time of the year what what other occasions we have around this time of the year we have something called tuba of which interestingly happens to come out on shabbos this year as well and the gemara says it's a missionary base the mishnah says israel the two happiest day days of the year were tuba avenyam kippur and the kumara wants to know what happened on tuba what's so joyous about and the gemara gives a whole list of things that occurred on tuba number one until then the shvatim were now to marry into each other and then they said okay benjamin can marry into zvulan and zvulan can marry god and god could marry so now everyone could marry together which i don't know i'm not sure how joyous that would be it used to be if you had a wedding it wasn't you know if you lived in binyam and you had a wedding by benyam if you live now people have to show up to lakewood they have to show up to the eilat to to the to carmilla to uh they have to go all over to swallow i'm not sure uh if everybody considered that a simcha but i guess i would have been outvoted but uh the gemara says it was a very joyous day that the shwartam were allowed to marry one into the other and then the gemara brings another opinion that after the pillage begiva after that episode they made a rule you can't marry shivapinyamin they're bad and they let that rule go and from now on the shot them are allowed to marry into shivapinyamin and then the gemara says that the those who were slayed at baytar were given to kura they were buried on tuba and then the gemara says that when you ruff and bennavat stop the jews from being oily regal from going to shalayim that was abolished on tuba of and then the gemara says that the in the mid bar we know that because of the year fifteen thousand jews died so if fifteen thousand jews they would dig their own graves on tish above they would go and lie in the grave so the first year six hundred thousand jews dug graves they dug mass graves and then they all went to sleep in their graves and in the morning fifteen thousand jews didn't wake up so if you have six hundred thousand jews and fifteen thousand die a year how long is it gonna take for everyone to die out a little math six hundred thousand divided by fifteen thousand is forty it takes forty years so in year one fifteen thousand jews died and year two fifteen thousand jews died in year three and finally in year forty you have fifteen thousand jews left and they all went into their graves and you know other years if you're a betting man you could say okay hopefully i wake up in the morning but in year 40 when the only 15 000 jews left the chances aren't that good and it suggested that you know every other year 15 000 jews died because they people davened but in the back of their head they didn't dive in so hard because you know maybe it's not them in the final year when they knew it was then they really davened and their fields were accepted so you see from here when the person divins you got it down with your back up against the wall okay anyway um interestingly all these occurrences happen on tuba do any of them have anything to do with shabbos nachamu no nothing at all by the way another thing that happened in tuba of is that every day they cut wood for the and mizbayach tuba of the sun gets a little weaker you ever did you notice on two above that's when the summer starts to end the sun gets a little weaker and the wood would not be as dry the rest of the summer the wood is drying out in the sun the wood isn't dry it could contain moisture and it could get wormy and you can't use that wood on the mazda from tuba oven on they stop chopping wood for the mizbayach and the rajabam explains that whenever you finish doing a mitzvah you make a sem this is the source of making a seam when you finish them sakta and these are all the various things that happened on tuba's comes the ritva and the ritva says because tuba is such a amazing holiday look at number five um for this reason you should make a big sunnah to celebrate the joyous occasion of tuba of so now listen to this all of the simcha of tubav is being relocated to shabbos this is another source to rejoice in all the six uh reasons to rejoice on two above are now being repositioned to shabbis nachama so there are a few questions here these questions are raised by ravi rehm ocean the rasheed of lakewood question number one is why in the world would you celebrate tuba of on since when in judaism do we take a calendar date and move the simcha to shabbos tried to kill us god saved us so we'll celebrate the following shabbos or hanukkah the the ant uh the uh syrian greeks try to take away mitzvos so celebrate on shabbos or passover that god jumped over our house so we'll celebrate our child we never celebrate anything on shabbos okay one out of 30 is an exception and the tour asks the tour asks since when do we celebrate anything on chavez and the torah gives various answers all of them a freshman deal with that question why is the miracle of hashem saving us from the egyptians who try to kill us for shakting their god why is it moved to shabbos one answer given is because it happened on your nissan but but yo nissan is the yard side of miriam hanavya so they couldn't celebrate on your nissan so they had to move it to shabbos where another answer is on your nissan kaiser crossed the yard and so somebody mistakenly may think it's for the splitting of the yardin so they moved it to shabbos but in general why would the celebration on tuba be moved to shabbos we don't move things to shabbos especially the joy of shabbos nachamu is that hashem is consoling us over the corbin and the joy of tuba'av is for one of those six reasons the gamora mentioned that the shevatam can marry into each other or that we can marry into shayta binyamin or the may say midbar stopped dying or we were able to be irregular the two have nothing to do with each other what does the simcha tuba of got to do with shabbos furthermore you'll say well shabbos nachamu is the shabbos of the week of tuba of no it's not sometimes tuba of comes out after shavasana sometimes it comes out before shabbos so shabbas nahum is not always the shabbos of two of sometimes partial zaikev is the shabbos of tubaf why always move it to shabbas nahima so let's deal with the following question what exactly is the nahamah of shabbos console console my people what's the consolation god says console console what is the consolation so this facemask quotes a madrish the matters tells us that the constellation of claudius the divrei the words of torah are always the consolation for a claudius the divrei torah are always the constellation for the jewish people in other words says assassins then of claudius is the torah tara and the tara shabbat what does that mean exactly the torah is the consolation for the jewish people get a load of this check this out take a look at number nine in parashat's kisa and he said behold i am going to seal a covenant behold i am going to seal the covenant what exactly does that mean hine kai respres that were not created in the land and among all the all the gayam all the nation will see that you that hashem is with us so here god is promising i'm sealing a deal with you i'm stealing a covenant with you and you know what i'm going to do i'm going to make miracles the likes of which the world has never seen god is promising he will perform miracles for us greater than any miracle that was ever performed so ramban is troubled what exactly are these miracles that god is promising that he's going to do for us that are greater than any miracles that he ever performed this is after yudhis mitsurayama no miracle has happened after euthyrs mitzrayim that was greater than the exodus and here god is promising i am going to perform miracles for you greater than anything you've ever seen look at the words in the wrong boundary says it's not possible to explain that hashem is promising atta to do with the jewish people miracles ashur loy nivroom would come down now were created before of the arts god did not do any greater miracles than he did with them originally originally god did bigger miracles the miracles of the time were much greater so what exactly are these miracles that god is promising that he's going to do with the jewish people god never did miracles greater than you'd see something trying says review who we have discussed to me many times and he has a fantastic safari and the oira rashi is my good friend with maishi gruan rabb yurukhum ocean said he once heard an explanation to answer the ramban's question from shivapanovic exactly are these miracles that god is promising he'll do for the jewish people greater than all the miracles of israel and answered with the well known words of rabbiak of emdin these perhaps are the most iconic words ever written in the last five hundred years take a look at number thirteen wherever yaakov emdin writes the immortal words and we've quoted this many times in another context says who analyzes the state of the jewish people in the world the heretic has to be ashamed we the exiled nation zura the scattered sheep ah after everything that has passed upon us from the tragedies the hatamura's and the suffering allah for thousands of years there is no nation in the world that has been chased and hounded more than us how great were our torments how great and powerful are those who stand against us from our youth to try to destroy us to uproot us because of their hatred that stems from jealousy how powerful were the nations that have tried to destroy us the roman empire the greek empire the persian empire the babylonian empire the assyrian empire all the great empires of antiquity how powerful there were we weren't even a hundredth of their power and their prominence they were not able to destroy us and where are they where are they where's navukhanetsarnael where is titus now vespasia now herod where are these people where is their empire they're relics of the past they're down they're dead you want to see a relic of the roman empire you could go to the british museum and there you will find a shard of pottery that according to some bogus interpretation of an archaeologist this handle of this coffee cup was used in the times of the roman empire that's the holy roman empire today they're on display in museums around the world you could pay money to watch their earthenware caleb in glass with light shining down on it that's where they are today all these power found persons that try to destroy us sartsilam their power has departed and how about us we're still we're around we're alive and kicking we'll get up in the morning and we still watch an egomaster and then we run to shul and we put on palace and the talus looks the same way it did 3 300 years ago and we put on fill in and if the balcore deers to make and mispronounce one word he will be lynched by a dozen people who want his head because he instead of saying vioimer he said value and if he does it again they'll never ask him to get up there and if the balcore runs over one tiphra if there's somebody in the crowd that actually knows they wouldn't let let him land again because the mission of says if you jump over one kama makhzira naisai that's where we are safeguarding the minutiae of every aspect of our observance not one iota is missing and throughout the length of our golos mark twain wrote a famous article about what is the secret of the immortality of the jew but rabbiakovemden writes it much more forcefully he says what will the sharp philosopher answer to this will happenstance and coincidence explain how all the mighty empires that try to destroy us and they conquered the world they conquered the globe and they're relics of the past and we the smallest nation a nation of sheep sep pizura we're still alive and kicking we have institutions with thousands of students that safeguard the the detail of every halacha says i swear keep his blind and even a fly sailor when i think about these wonders gudlu etzly yo me call nisim viniflies they're greater than all the wonders and miracles that god performed with our forefathers in egypt of amidbar of areth israel the miracle of the glory of jewish eternity is a greater miracle than the miracles that god performed for us in egypt the fact that you could come to a shul today and turn around and there's a jew sitting next to you and he's not in a museum which do you think would more likely be in a museum a bust of homer plato or a jew you know the reason why hitler didn't destroy many cemeteries in germany is he wanted there to be a museum that there was something called a jew so which is more likely for there to be a museum they should have what's more or less likely that there should be a stuffed jew in a museum or that hitler's bunker today should be a museum the fact that all of our tormentors are relics of the past they're destroyed all they are are are uh items and products in a museum and we're alive and kicking says this is a greater miracle than all the miracles that god performed for the jewish people in mitzrayim and artsy israel says the longer the golos takes the more miraculous this miracle becomes every day we're still around this miracle becomes greater is magnified and compounds says marana you know what the miracle that god is telling the jewish people i'm making a covenant with you and i'm going to make a miracle for you asher he ca negan called opposite your people i will make wonders i shall uh earth that were never created god is promising he's going to make a miracle for us greater than all the miracles of mitzrayim what is this miracle that god is promising that is greater than the miracles of the throne the answer is it is the miracle of the eternity of the jewish people that's the miracle that god refers to when he says i'm making a deal with you and a covenant with you and i'm going to make miracles for you greater than the miracles of yeshua's mission however added there is another miracle that is likewise greater than the miracles that of the yetis matriarch not only the eternity of the jewish people another miracle that surpasses in magnitude the miracle of euthys mitzrayim is a miracle of the continued survival and existence of our torah the fact that after 3 300 years every word of the sacred torah is exactly the same as it was every letter is exactly the same as it was and if somebody would try to take a safer torah and there would be one letter missing or spelled incorrectly they would take it they would ramp it up and they would put it back the fact that our torah today is the exact same tire as it was 3 300 years ago and every midsole we do has survived and we continue to observe it what is the likelihood that the jewish people the people who have been hounded persecuted murdered harassed chased out of every country we've ever been in still observe every single detail of the law to its minutia that is likewise a greater miracle than the miracles of utis mitzrayim this is also added and rabbi roccomotion says if you look carefully at the words of yakov emden he says this as well on the one two three four five sixth line loi nifcad mi meno it is not missing from us throughout the terribly disastrous long exile affilo ice one letter we're not even missing one letter is there any nation of antiquity that could say we have the exact same document to the t of 3 300 years ago it's unheard of it's impossible now in that every nukuda every one of the 613 mitzvos is still observed as punctiliously for thousands of years as it once was every gazer of the nothing is missing time did not take any effect on it that is also a greater miracle the eternity of the torah is a greater miracle than the miracles of ethios mitzrayim by the way ironically you know who else makes this point that the greatest miracle in the history of the world is the continuous existence of the torah look at number fourteen or be honest in ibishits in the arastovas he says the main godless that we're in is our loss of torah that god has left for us a remnant ash we have not forgotten his mitzvos we did not forget his torah we did not forget how much we have to praise hashem al-nis this wondrous miracle that we still have the torah what was the darkest day in the history of the jewish people the navy says the navaj is number 15 i await god hamaster who hides his face from the house of jacob vicki visilight and i hope to him the jewish people say that we wait for hashem who hides his face from us says there is no more disastrous difficult prophecy then the moment moshe said that god is letting us know that there will be a day that he will hide from us the worst day in the history of the jewish people is when they got a report god says one day i'm going to hide from you and you're not going to see me you won't know where i am you won't recognize me but on that day god promised that this document this shira will testify as a witness that despite the darkness and the difficulty recognizing me you will never forget the torah take a look at number 12 fahaya it will be when you will find terrible evils that surrise and difficulties but on sahashirah this song will testify as a witness you will never forget the torah look at the next passage in the navy behold i the haiyaladam and the children the children will be the sign and the wonder says rashi who are these children that will be a sign in a wonder rashi says the students of torah will be who are beloved like children will be a monument and a testimony that the torah will endure forever in other words if you wanted to know was there ever a roman empire i don't know if you go to rome today you'll see a statue of nero casar you know he's in white stone so i guess he once existed because he's a statue and was there ever a titus i don't know titus made an arch and how do we know there's a god in israel we don't need statues and we don't need arches the navy says when students will be learning torah after 2 000 years that is the greatest testimonial monument eidos that there's a god in israel and the navi is promising that the biggest consolation for the jewish people is the continuous study of torah throughout the generations the talmide haiyashi voice are the oys and the moifes if you wanted to know you know sometimes people say if god would only perform a miracle for me if god would only split the sea i would come on time for chakras but until then i will you know we'll take it easy if god would only you know kill the firstborn enemy then i'll start learning every day but not until then until i see a wonder and a miracle then uh i'll keep i'll have a chill dad approach to tara mitzvahs the navy says you want to wonder you want to sign you want a miracle if there are jewish people studying the same torah after 2 000 years that is a greater miracle than the splitting of the sea you want a miracle god is making miracles for us much greater than the miracles of the exodus a reverend cutler in many of his writings in the mishnahs for baron and he points out that talmidim who are learning in the yeshiva aside from their fulfillment of the mitzvah torah they are the living testimony to the divine hand of providence in the history of the jewish people so what's the consolation what is the consolation our temples were destroyed our families were massacred every country we've been in we've been hounded right obviously america is going to be different right than every other country we've ever been in obviously because you know america is going to be the exception to the rule every other country we were in get out and you're happy if you were able to get out with the shirt on your back but of course in america we're going to be here forever because with with big houses and comfort and respect america is different why would america be like every other country we were ever in in our history why why should america be like every other instance that we've ever experienced just pointing that out but what is the nahamah for the jewish people in the aftermath of tish above we read 45 kenneth i mean these disadv the annals of jewish history are unparalleled in the history of any other nation what exactly is and then we say okay the the tenth is over forget about it don't even think about it you're not you have to eat flashes i don't want to hear that somebody had pizza tonight for supper the night after tish above you have to have a burger you have to eat steak nobody should dare eat milk a day after tishma because you have to be consoled why because enough you said console console oh they're good that makes me feel so much better because the navi said console console what is the consolation says the sasemas the consolation is the torah it's like we say in the sliches the holy city and its provinces is utterly destroyed and disgraced and all the treasures of jerusalem zeiss is drowned and hidden vain but we have one thing left there is one thing that we have and that item is so miraculous that is actually more miraculous than the miracles of mitzrayim and that rabshak says is predicted beforehand when god said god is saying i will do a miracle for you greater than any miracle that i ever did that is the eternity of our torah that is the consolation of shabbis nachomo i would humbly suggest you know i always wondered is the parsha and randomly we pick a haftarah that has nothing to do with the parasha but it's the week after tishb so we read a haftar of consolation but not like it's connected to the parasha no what's the consolation of the consolation is kabbalah the torah is a consolation so the reading the torah readings perfect haftarah is it's not a random haftarah it's not unconnected to the torah reading the torah reading itself is then the torah reading is the constellation and the navi is saying i want you to know that this torah reading it will be eternal this is your consolation that is the consolation of shabbis the gift of the torah and the eternity of the torah so what's the god do tuba why would we celebrate tuba of ready for this so one of the big celebrations of tubav it's the day they stop chopping wood for the mizbayah sounds like a really exciting time let's celebrate let's party they stop chopping the wood what could be more exciting than that and what could be a greater cause of celebration no sammy let's go you know let's go out have a big suda simha well dance why they stopped chopping wood now by the way why they stop chopping wood because the sun got weaker oh the summer's over let's celebrate yeah that's also that that makes a lot of sense says in baba basra now here's the deal for the whole summer they're chopping wood every day now how long did it take 15 minutes 30 minutes guess what they couldn't do during those 15 to 30 minutes they couldn't learn tyra yeah but they were doing a mitzvah they were chopping wood for them friends let me tell you something there is no mitzvah that even remotely comes close in magnitude to limarata lima rattara is qualitatively quantitatively superior to any other mitzvah just give you an example you have a pair of sitsis it's old it's worn out it's frayed what do you do with it throw in the garbage okay it's not so nice so you put it with clean recyclables whatever but that's then you could throw in the garbage there's rocky on the gemara says what about a shoy shoifer you blew this shoe for 100 years you blew one year for the belzoreba the next year for the the spinkareba the next year for the uh vera reba then the samuraiba and then the bubba forever and then the uh yep fine you spit this is the holiest show forever and then uh you finished what do you do with it throw in the trash throw in the bin behind the house why because a mitzvah only has kadusha when you're involved in doing the mitzvah once you finish at the mid-side there's no kedusha lula you finish shaking the lulav what could you do with it i know people have a humra it's based on rama you burn it with the comets there's nothing wrong if a person throws in the garbage it's not the nicest thing it's not us or what about it's filling you have to fill in you're done with it ah you got to bury it you got a berry that's on what about the straps connected to the filling oh you got to bury the straps what about the box that the filling was in you got to bury the box i understand what about the mezuzah case got to bury mr case why do you have to bury a mezuzah case and the pair of tutsis you could throw in the garbage the answer is because it sits this is only an item of a mitzvah an item of a miss only has kadusa so long as you're doing the mitzon when you finish them it says no kedusha but fillin had parshiots of torah in it torah has eternal kadusa and the straps connected to the torah have eternal kedusa and the box that housed the torah has eternal kedusa because taurus kedusha is far surpasses any other mitzvah by the way gentile an akuma an akum an oived why because they don't learn torah they only do mitzvah nazrakim they don't have to be buried israel you have to bury a jew because you learned torah what about a jew who never learned torah the malek told him torah every jew or entire anything associated with terror has eternal kedusha so on the day they stopped chopping wood for the mizbaya they had an extra 15 to 30 minutes to learn torah the joy of tuba of is extra time to be able to learn torah what do you mean it's not like the guy they were wasting our time we were involved in preparing wood for the mizbayach to bring carbonus carbona all that stuff is great it doesn't hold a candle to lima and therefore the joy of tuba of is the joy of extra time to learn torah furthermore the gemara continues why didn't they chop the wood anymore from tuba because the sun wasn't so strong that there is less daylight hours the day starts getting shorter on tuba off so what do you mean it starts getting shorter on june 21st it slowly gets starting but on two above it the days start moving you know the clocks really starts moving the days get much shorter the sun is much weaker oh the nights get longer the gemara tells us the night was created for tamatara says the gemara ooh mekan since they're more nighttime hours whoever adds to their learning will have longer years with deloitte moisture if someone does not add to their learning yeah safe they will be taken away from the world early bottom line is tuba of marks a new time of the year more nighttime hours for limara torah so they're two facets of tubav number one they stop chopping the wood stop towing the wood more time to learn number two the days are shorter days are shorter nights are longer nights are longer more time to learn so the simcha of tuba what's the joy of tuba the joy of enhanced increased magnified elevated tama torah and what's the consolation of shabbos says the consolation of the jewish people is that after 2000 years despite all of our suffering the greatest nahamah for the jew is our the continued existence of the torah observance of the torah adherence to the torah the fact that after two thousand years not even one letter of the torah is missing is this the consolation of the greatest miracle in history greater than the miracles of existence the continued existence of the torah it's a miracle that rav shaq says ribanjam predicted beforehand therefore the perfect shidduch
