way please join us at 5:30 Peninsula
Boulevard. Tonight is our grand finale
on this amazing topic we've been
speaking about for about a month now.
The topic of the revolt of Tonight we're
going to talk about the tragic fall of
Betar. The tragic fall of Betar. The
Rambam writes in the in
the Rambam says in paral
says the Rambam five things happened on
tishab
it was decreed on our forefathers that
they shouldn't enter
and they were stuck in the midbar for 40
years the first basikdash was destroyed
the second bas was destroyed by the way
the first and second ba mikdash were
both destroyed on mat shabas the way the
calendar is this Here that was the
calendar and the times both of the
Bishan and the Bay. Then the Rambam says
the fourth tragedy is
a great city was captured. Its name was
there were thousands there were tens of
thousands of Jews. We're going to see
according to one account 40 million Jews
were killed in Betar. million. 40
million Jews were killed in betar
according to one account in the gar
and there was a great king
all of Israel thought
all the thoughts
right remember we ra it wasn't only who
thought was messiah all the thought that
was messiahal
now this is interesting what happened to
remember we learned the garra. The garra
says they killed him. Simply the garra
means the killed him. The ram says no
he fell in the hands of the Romans.
They were all murdered.
It was a tragedy on par with the
destruction of the mikdash. Where did
the ram get that from? That it was on
par with the destruction of B mikdash.
From where does the Rambam know that it
was such a great tragedy that the Rambam
by the way doesn't say that about the
Rambam doesn't say that about the fact
that Toris Rufus plowed over the Makam
Mikdash. The Rambam specifically
comments on the fall of Betar that the
fall of Betar was on par with the
destruction of B. Where did the Rambam
get this from? So a few interesting
things you need to know. First of all,
what ultimately brought about the
downfall of Betar? The gitan says on
Zion the side of a carriage, the side of
a carriage there was a a wedding. You
know it always weddings it always starts
with a wedding. What happened? The side
of the carriage brought down betar. The
min in betar was or maybe in all of
Israel that when a young man was born
they would plant a cedar tree. When a
young woman was born when a girl was
born they would plant a pine tree. When
it came time to get married they would
cut the cedar tree. They would cut the
pine tree and they would make a canopy
from these two trees. One day the
daughter of the Caesar, I guess the
daughter of Hadrien was passing by and
her car broke down. The side of her
carriage fell off. So they needed a
tree. So they cut down one of these
trees. And what happened?
The Jewish rebels who were getting very
courageous and very brave and very
autonomous and were smelling
independence. They pounced on the legion
representing the daughter of the Caesar.
They told the Caesar the Jews are
rebelling and Hadrien said that's it.
Hadrien sent his best general Seis and
that's how the siege of Betar began. The
Gomorrah gives the most graphic account
of the fall of Betar of any tragedy that
ever happened in the Jewish in the
history of the Jewish people. There is
no tragedy that is more graphically
depicted than the fall of the says
that God cut down in his wrath all the
honor of Israel.
80,000 division Roman leaders entered
Betar. They killed men, women, children
until the blood flowed all the way to
the Yamhagal.
So the Garra says, "Well, maybe you'll
say the Yamaha is close to Betar." No,
the Gumar says it was a mill away. A
mill is 2,000 Am. If you look in the US,
the USI says it was 40 mil away. It was
40 mil away. So how do you reconcile
that? It's not clear. It seems that what
it means is the blood was so
voluminous. There was so much blood. The
blood colored the sea for 40 mil for
about 40 miles.
How far is Cyprus from uh
>> Israel?
Anybody know?
Anyway, there was a lot of blood. So
much blood. The garra says that
look at this account.
There are two rivers that flow in that
area. One flows in one direction, one
flows another direction. And the rabbis
estimated 2/3 of the river was blood.
Only one/ird was water. The Gmorrah says
for seven years the Gentiles did not
need to fertilize their fields. It was
fertilized with Jewish blood.
to the point where the Garra continues
by the way that and I would suggest this
is the source of where the Rambam got
that the fall of Betar was on par with
the destruction of Ba Mikdash. The
Gmorra says in Giten number five on the
call
the voice of Yakov is Hadrien who killed
in Alexandria Hadrien killed Jews in
Alexandria. There were many Jews in
Alexandria in the time he killed 1.2 2
million Jews. 1.2 million Jews
alishi
co this is aspianis by the way the yak
of emden and others changed the gera
because vespasian is long gone.
Vespasian was the the roman uh caesar in
the time of destruction of the
basikdash. Betar is 50 years after the
destruction of basd. So they changed the
gera to againrien. Hadrien killed in
betar arba Mayos rebi 400 myriads what
is 400* 10,000
>> 4 million
>> what
>> 4 million
>> 4 million are you an accountant
see the yeshiva 4 million
[Music]
some say
4,000 and myriads.
Ask him how much that is.
>> What?
>> 40 million?
>> Well, 40 million. 40 million. Okay,
that's a lot of Jews. Imagine if, by the
way, if there were 40 million Jews 2,000
years ago, that would make that today
there would be trillions,
>> you know. But that's what the Gomorrah
says. Now there is an idea sometimes
when the garra uses the new the number
four or six it could be hyperbole okay
but still it was a lot it was a lot then
the garra says
these are the Romans who destroyed the
bikar so it's very interesting the garra
darian's one puk referring to the fall
of betar and the destruction of the b
mikdash maybe this is the source of the
ram that the fall of betar is on par
with the destruction of the bame mikdash
Now what happened to Baraka? What
happened to him? The Rambam seemed to
say he fell in the hands of the Romans.
If you remember, look at number eight.
You remember we learned in Sanhedrin
that bar reigned for two and a half
years. But we know we have one
identifying mark of Mashiach. Who
remembers what's ident? How do we know
if somebody's Msiah? If you could smell
out the case. So they said new sniff out
the case. He couldn't do it. He needed
evidence. So they the Garra says they
killed him. That implies the Jews killed
him.
>> The right the Rambam says no he fell in
the hands of the Romans. We have a third
account in the US. The usami in Tinus.
The usami and Tinus says like this. The
Usami says when Betar was captured, Bar
was killed. They brought his head to
Hadrien.
We just visit. I told you I just visited
Hrien. He's buried in what's it called?
Mayor. Well, he's buried in
>> Castell
Santangelo.
That's where his remains were. But when
the crusaders came, they took his ashes
and they scattered it in the river. We
looked for the ashes. We couldn't find
them anymore. They weren't available.
But so we went to Hadrien. The Gomorrah
says they brought the bad they brought
the head of Bara to Hadrien.
Hrien said, "Who killed him?"
Who? Who killed this guy?
One of the early Christians said, "I
killed him."
So Bara said, "You killed him. Where's
the body?"
>> Hrien said, "Where's the body? You
killed him. Where's What do you mean the
head? What am I going to do with the
head? Where's the body?" They found a
snake coiled around his body. Hrien
said, "If God did not kill this man, he
never would have died like this." So
Hrien went and they killed so many Jews
until the blood was so deep that when
horses would walk in the street, the
blood went up to the nose of the horse.
The blood, the rivers of blood were so
great
that there were stones that weighed 40
saw that were rolling in the streets.
There were like, you know, massive
boulders just floating in the street
from the rivers of blood.
There was so much blood that they tra
the blood traveled 40 mil into the sea.
40 miles into the sea.
They found on one stone the brains of
300 children. The garra and the bavi and
the usami has different accounts how
many pairs of fillain they found just
discarded.
Now so what was going on in betar in the
time? The garumar says in betar there
were 500 yeshivas. Each yeshiva had 500
tamidim minimum. How many survivors were
there? There was only one survivor. Who
was the only survivor of the war of
betar? Raben Shiman Bengal was the only
survivor.
Hahrien had a big orchard in Tavaria.
It was 18 miles by 18 miles. He killed
so many bodies that he made a fence
around his 18-mi orchard of just
corpses.
And if you think it sounds like
hyperbole, this this is this is like a
description of holocaust.
Okay, this is worse than the mikdash.
Those bodies lay there for a very very
very long time.
But miraculously the bodies didn't rot.
The gumar the usami says in tinus. The
garra says in brais. The garra says in
tinus. The Gumarra says in Baba Basra
that when the bodies miraculously
did were buried when Hashem allowed them
to be buried they were maka
that was niskan that the harug bet their
bodies did in rot and they were given to
burial. So you say, "I don't understand.
I just ate a salami sandwich. I put
mustard on it, pickles. Why do I need to
think about the harug betar? Now's the
time to think about the the slain of
betar. That's the occasion. What exactly
is it doing in why is it so important
that every single time I bench I
remember the slain of betar?" Okay. The
usami actually says that betar lived in
peace for 52 years until it was
destroyed. So the us so what did they do
wrong that they they were destroyed like
this what was their big sin we have to
come back to the end of the usi
let's talk about what happened to the
raam says he fell in the hands of the
Romans
the garan sanhedrin says seemingly the
rabanon killed him the says he was
killed by a snake so which one of these
three things happened
it's interesting you Now do you remember
the Rambam in Alf? The Rambam says that
if somebody says they're Msiah, we don't
ask them to split the sea. We don't ask
them to perform any miracles. Remember
the Rambam says we don't need him to do
anything supernatural. The rivid I made
a mistake. Number nine should be the
rivid. Okay. The rivid asks on the
Rambam. Really? We don't ask Msiah to do
a miracle. I thought they asked. No,
smell out the case. So we see we do ask
Msiah to to perform a miracle.
It's interesting that the rivid only
asks this question on the Rambam and
Husim.
The Rivid doesn't say anything about
what the Rambam says in Hin
because part of the Ravid's question
seems to be Rambam, how could you say
that the rabbis killed Bara? The how how
could the Rambam says that he fell in
the hands of the Romans, but the
Gomorrah says that the killed him. It
seems like the rivet is bothered by two
questions. Question number one is the
Rambam says that fell to the Romans and
the Gomorrah says the Rabanon killed
him. Question number two is why does the
Rambam say we don't ask Msiah to perform
a miracle but the Gmorrah says they
asked him to smell out the case. So
there's a safer mate Yehuda number nine
should be the safer mate Yehuda. He says
the rivid doesn't care who killed Bara.
Who care who killed who cares who killed
Bara? It matters if the killed him or if
the Romans killed him or a snake killed
him. It's not there's no who killed. The
rivet has more better things to worry
about than exactly how died. The rahim
and the rabbit are they're not they're
not concerned with so the rivet would
say who killed him between different
garas and different midrashim. Did theim
kill him? Did the Romans kill him? Did a
snake kill him? The rabbit is just
asking a question. The Ram says we don't
ask Msiah to perform any miracles. And
the garra seems to indicate we're going
to ask Msiah to smell out the case.
So the opinion of M Yehuda is who
killed?
We don't know exactly. The Garra implies
the killed him. Maybe the usi implies a
snake killed him or the Romans killed
him. It's not really that important. The
on the Rambam says it's what we call
very very important
it is a dispute among various agadic
teachings who exactly killed Bara
or the Radvas
actually I have my friend came
from Israel and he gave me twothirds of
the trilogy the Abel wrote a famous
trilogy on the coming of Msiah he wrote
may Yeshua
He wrote
a second volume which he gave me but
Yeshua Mashia is not available in
America. So actually I messaged
Beagleizing today. They they have it. So
I tell them get it over to me right
away. It's already on the I just don't
have the I don't have the actual safer
Yeshua
is the Abarbanel's commentary on the
coming of Messiah. And
the Abbanel
says that probably what happened is
because Bara could not smell out the
case
he should die and in fact as soon as the
rabbis he should die the heavens came
and they took care of him. So it's not
that the rabbis got their hands dirty.
Once they pass and either the snake came
or the Romans came,
how do we make an assessment of or can
we are we allowed to? So many years ago
and actually it's in it's it's it's
in the Lakimmer book. We said over from
Mosha Shapiro that if Rabbi Akiva
thought Bar was Messiah
then he could have been Msiah and he
could have built the third B mikdash. We
mentioned many many times Hadrien
originally gave word that the Jewish
people should return and rebuild the
third B mikdash and then the Christians
said no don't let them do it they're not
going to pay taxes so he rescended which
means could have been Msiah he could
have rebuilt the third B mikdash so his
frustrated messianic
mission was analogous to the destruction
of a bas mikdash
so that seems to imply that he had holy
roots
If you remember, we learned in one of
the earlier shirim the Rami pano whose
yard site was
the raami pano says that bara was the
golgul of the leader of the baim who
left mim 30 years old early. He thought
he'd be able to so to speak forcibly
force the envelope push the envelope and
bring redemption to the Jewish people by
his own brute strength and his own
willpower. and Bara made the same
mistake. So that indicates that there
was some kind of perhaps
um pagam in the in the mission of and
the panu even says that msiach benim he
calls it will come and rectify this
but sasporas do you remember we we spoke
about rabakov sasporas
but rabakov sasporas I believe we spoke
about him two years ago on rabakov
sasporas was the first and the most
vehement opponent to Sha
we had this to be at his ke twice two
different times that I was in Amsterdam
I made sure to go to Rabakas's
he wrote the
he was the most he was the first one
alerted to the poisonous scheme of he
vehemently spoke out against him
thank you actually we we once said at
Batamos which is a day that commemorates
theel is the day that we mourn the
disaster of the Msiah Shak so I have a
friend in a who lives in Amsterdam that
since he heard that shar every
he makes sure to go to the kev of
sasporas and he's there he sends me a
message and it's not so easy to get in
he doesn't always have the key how do
you get into a a cemetery without having
the key that's something that let's just
day couldn't be done. Okay.
But he makes sure to get in and he sends
me a message
and he's mispo at the ke of Rabaku
saspas. Rabbi Sasporas received a letter
and the from a follower of Shai and the
follower of Shabiti sends to Rabaku
Sasporas he says in my assessment
had ana
to which Rabyaku Saspora says and I'm
afraid to say this I'm just telling you
what he said he said a holy soul really
in my opinion he has the he has the holy
soul of your master
meaning he's talking to the follower of
he says you say had
yeah he has the same nama as your guy as
your guy
just like the master
is the servant meaning
is making an analogy between two so to
speak futile efforts from Msiah he says
says shove him.
They stumbled on the same stumbling
block
and they are found to be missing
says
study the history of and then you tell
me if he had
I'm afraid to say it. I'm just reading
the words. That's what Raviaku saspa
said. Raviak of Emden did not have a
better assessment. Raviak of Mden
as we know
did not mince words
and if there was something that he felt
was out of line
he would publicize it. And we know he
was a vehement opponent of not only
Shaiti but any of the of his time who he
smelled any of the even remote odor of
Shaitvi
including some of the all-time greatest
and we're not going to speak about it
now
makes a list of two kinds of false
messiahs.
he what he calls tipim
and rashim.
Okay, there are only two kinds of
msiahs. So shap soakden
in his list of tipsim
basically foolish impostors.
Okay, that's the better category to be
in. You're better off if you're
basically here are the two options.
You know what are
that's one category that's the category
of
the other categories.
Now
now the
has a certain
assessment of the tone in which Rabakden
um relayed his opinions. For example,
the feels that perhaps it was certain
things were expressed
too harshly. But these are the words of
by the way said about he was a ni. Okay
said was a ni and he didn't say that
about me. Okay
said was a ni in the list of tips.
Now each of these categories has a
fatherhood
identifies the father of tips and on
this list by the way are people let's
say and I don't want to say their names
because puts them in
rein
him I'll say because we get that was
last year
do you remember that
and re alifhammed. I'm not going to say
who that is. And a bunch of other
gentlemen, the father head of tips.
Why are they pim?
They violated they were punished even
though their kavana was letova and they
didn't violate any in a reason why they
were punished is they violated the oath
that hashem made swear not to push the
envelope on the gula.
Don't push the envelope. You can't force
the issue.
By the way, even though there's like a
very fine line, I'm just telling you
personally, there's a very fine line
between you're not to push the envelope,
but you also can't be too chilled out
about it. You can't say,
"Oh, no, it's not a good time for you."
Okay, never mind. Make believe I didn't
ask. No, you have to push it a little
bit.
>> That's
Yeshua. You know, there's a good book
on.
But in the book on Yeshua
which is available
there's a chapter called demanding
says you have to be which says means you
have to be
in other words let's say let's say um
you know you're collecting you can't
demand the money you know the walks in
very poorly maybe if it's a good time
for you you know I was just but if
somebody owes you you know, and you have
an invoice. You don't say, "I'm just
wondering if maybe you know, you know,
you owe me, you owe me money for like
the last 10 years. Maybe you want to pay
up. You told me you're you say you owe
me money could pay up already." So the
says you have to treat the gul like an
invoice. You have to be
but still you can't push the envelope.
Rabakden says pushing the envelope
is a great stumbling block for the
Jewish people. It arouses the animosity
of the nations of the world. It causes
Hashem to remove his hashka from Israel
and therefore the opinion of Ryak
Sasporas and Rabak was pretty critical
in the in the summation of
so why did Hashem make that this happen?
Why does Hashem bring to the Jewish
people these false messiahs that always
cause disaster? So this is a very broad
question. I'm going to share with you
something very powerful. I'm hesitant to
say it, but what could we do?
If you if
>> are you saying that the reason why was
destroyed was because of our
>> No, no, no. Not no. That's not
necessarily why it was destroyed. But
Rabyakden says these people who pushed
the envelope on the gula cause disaster
for the Jewish people.
So throughout history, practically every
single attempt of a false Messiah brings
disaster. Now you could open up almost
any Rambam today and the following
passage from the Rambam is missing. The
sensors took it out and probably you
could imagine why the sensors took it
out. In the Shabsy Franco Rambam, it
appears also in the Rambam. The
following passage of the Rambam appears.
The Rambam writes in you ready for this?
The thoughts of the rebon are impossible
to comprehend. His ways are not our
ways.
Why did God bring
the Christian religion to the world? Why
did God bring Islam to the world? They
actually serve a very important purpose.
The purpose of Christianity and Islam is
to pave the way for the coming of
Messiah. Why? Because one day Messiah's
going to knock on the door and he's
going to tell the whole world there's
one God. He gave the Torah to the Jewish
people. God selected the Jewish people
to be a light onto the nations. The
world will now have peace. But it will
be impossible if the world never heard
about the concept of Messiah. they will
not be able to assimilate and understand
the concept of a messiah of redemption
of the Jewish people. So therefore, God
created, he allowed the formation of the
world religions. So that almost everyone
in the world believes in Messiah, but
they have a distorted view on what
Messiah is. So that when Msiah, the real
Messiah comes, what Messiah will do is
he'll just say, "You're right. You're
right. You got it right. You believe in
Messiah. We just need to tweak it a
little bit. He didn't come 2,000 years
ago. He's coming today. But you know
what Messiah is. you know what it's
supposed to look like. This, you know,
the 2,000 years of persecution is not
the world peace that Messiah was
supposed to bring. It's here today. So,
the nations are all say, "Oh, okay,
fine. We understand Msiah. We know what
Shabas is. We just kept Friday. We just
kept Sunday. We know what mitzvah are.
We just distorted them." You see, says
the Ram, the purpose of the world
religions
is to pave the way for the Malik
Mashiach. the whole world believes in
some messianic concept although albeit a
distorted one. So then when Messiah
comes all he'll need to do is he doesn't
have to reinvent the wheel. He'll just
tweak
and modify the beliefs of the various
nations of the world.
Some nations say Messiah already came.
Some nations have a a certain view of
Messiah. the true Mashiach will come and
the lion of the I believe is
alima
that Mashiach will merely turn around be
the erroneous beliefs of the nations of
the world comes in and Yeshua Mashia are
you ready for this is astounding do you
remember the desar the daf learned it
recently first 2,000 years of the world
existence is
second 2,000 years are days of Tyra. The
last 2,000 years are Yo Hamashiach.
Did you know the Gmorra said that the
first 2,000 years of world history are
empty and void until Abrau at age 52.
Abra was born 1948. At age 52 he
recognized Hashem in the year 2000 and
it ushered in 2,000 years of Tyra. And
the last 2,000 years of world history
are Hamashiach asks Abrael really he
came he came 1700 years ago says Abrael
when the Gomorrah says that beginning in
the year 4000 are you mosiach what that
means is did you realize before the year
4000 nobody ever breathed the word about
Messiah and in the year 4000 all of a
sudden the whole world the main topic
that occupies the world attention is the
coming of the Messiah whether it's Yeshu
Hanitri who comes to the scene about in
the year 400. So he brought attention to
the concept of Messiah although a false
messiah and then even among the Jews
announces he's the Messiah. So what does
this do in the context of what the
Rambam says that the purpose of the
false Messiah is to bring awareness to
the world of what Messiah is so that
when Mashiach come he'll merely modify
the erroneous viewpoints of the nations
of the world beginning in the year 400
through Yeshuan
through the Yeshim through and through a
lot of the other individuals and
characters who were false Messiah
They serve a purpose. Unfortunately,
often it brings disaster, but that's the
purpose. The purpose is like the Garra
says, it's not that the 2,000 years of
the final 2,000 years of the world are
the coming of Msiah, but the lion of
theel. I want to read to you his words
because that would explain many emails
that I get. I get at least one email a
week of somebody who reveals that
they're Msiah. Why? Why they want to
reveal specifically to me? I don't know
but it's you know on average on average
an email a week of a guy who he feels
the world must know.
Okay. But this is all part of what Abra
is saying in the last 2,000 years. It's
like in the air and even in in uh in USA
there's a syndrome. There's you know the
the the messiah syndrome where people
just you know they they they need to

It's as if there's something in the air.
From the year 4,000 and on, Messiah is
in the air. Is it good?
It has a good aspect. Is it dangerous?
Whoa. Is it dangerous? Boy, is it
dangerous.
I want to share with you mamish a gift
from Shamayim. Can I have a sar?
Thank you. Thank you. You know after you
eat bread
there's something called bread and
people eat it and after they eat it they
say we all know the final

says
it's
that
was enacted in yavn
those who were slain in bet
because said the day that The harug were
given to burial. They were makav.
The bodies didn't rot. The hame that
they were buried. So I had a nice meal.
The day was going good until now. And
all of a sudden I have to start thinking
about you know rivers of blood and
horses up to their nose in blood with a
you know Hadrien's Tavaria palace with a
fence of of corpses.
Why is this important to
But I was thinking about what are what
in the world are these doing here?
What's that doing there?
What's that doing here? You want to
talk? If I were to ask you, I stop in
the street corner. Where is the best
place to dab in for ilio?
H best place. After I eat a salami
sandwich and I and I say, you need to d
for ilio. I mean, what's it got to do
the price of tea in China? How do you
get how do you drag Io into this?
At the bris, you know, you have the you

Rabaminhers
says something frightening.
He says why were Kazala
the of
he says during the time of the of
Hadrien the Jewish people made a
mistake. Ready? This is what he says.
The mistake was they thought that the
destiny of the Jewish people
lay in their own hands
and with war
and physical strength they could reclaim
the former glory of the Jewish people.
And it's a mistake.
Only
God will control the ultimate destiny of
the Jewish people. It's not physically
in our hands.
And in order to remind the Jewish people
that once the gulus begins our destiny
lay only in the hands of Hashem doesn't
lay in any any individual's hand. No one
we don't control our ultimate destiny.
Only God will bring that day. No person,
no power, no empire, no force, no human
intervention will bring the great day.
No, you hear this. No, this not I'm not
telling I'm not Don't say this. I'm not
telling you hashkafa. I'm I'm telling
you what he says.
No human intervention can bring the
great day. In order for the Jewish
people to remember that
they were makra, don't ever forget what
happened at betar. You will never have a
more powerful general and army and force
and ability to gain independence than
And it was a miserable failure.
And their bodies lay there until the
Almighty came and had Rahmanas on those
bodies and allowed those bodies to be
buried and preserve those bodies. As if
to say what God is saying is you're not
going to do it on yourself. But when you
just step back, watch what I could do.
Watch what I could do. The bodies lay
there for years and years and years. It
didn't rot. Anybody know you leave a
body out in a day like today?
Tell us. You know, right?
It's uh it's it's terrible. Imagine it's
gets it's hot. It gets hot in in Betar.
It's a hot place.
And the bodies stayed there for years
and they did in rot and then they were
finally buried. The message is that in
the gulus we have to remember that the
great day is only dependent on Hashem.
That's the lesson of the disastrous
downfall of betaram.
That's the emphasis.
You want redemption.
He's the only one who could do it.
He helped you in the past.
And you know what else? You know, you're
hoping for Msiah. It's going to be this
guy and this rabbi and this person.
You're making a big mistake.
Says Schwab says,
"You can never hang your hat on any
human being. Heaven forbid to hang your
hat on a human being.
and a human being.
You know why? One day he's going to die.
He's going to go back to the earth
and then you're finished. So what do you
do in the gulos ashro?
You can only trust in hashem how it's
going to play out. He knows how to take
care of it. God knows how to take. You
don't have to write the script. He has
the script written.
Says
Therefore, right after the
you know who's the I don't know but our
king is going to be God. He'll he'll
decide who the the goeteen is.
So I would humbly add so really so what
do we do? What are we supposed to do?
God said I'm going to let you know. You
know, I'm going to let you know
and he's going to tell you
Yeshua. He'll give you the memo. When
the time comes, you'll get your phone
will buzz. The time is here will give
you the if you want to know how you
going to know. So the benching ends
who
for all generations and how am I going
to get to
so he's going to break the yoke of the
nations.
That doesn't mean if you have the
opportunity to go you shouldn't go. Well
how can you not? If you could go you got
to go. It's a mitzvah to live in Israel.
If you want to know but who's gonna
bring me there who
and I would add I think that's why we
add
but one more point okay this is
think about
we end you ate your sandwich
and we thank Hashem for the problem is
we're in golus now so we ask Hashem
You know, you can't even have a knife
out on the table because you have a
knife on the table you might take the
knife and plunge it into your heart
being so distraught saying
so we just prayed for the rebuilding of
you know you want to get up and go and
you know just let's let's go let's gain
our uh let's bring the redemption.
So they were maki and says of no
didn't work not a good idea not a good
so who's our king who
and who's going to give us the memo
I'm not telling you my opinion here I'm
just telling you what says Again, if you
want to temper what he says a little
bit, by the way, it's well known. This
is very consistent with his view on the
establishment of
of Israel. By the way, this is very
consistent with his personal view. I'm
not I'm not here to talk about uh the
hashkaf of that. If you want to temper
it a little bit, you could say, okay, in
the times of
they were so trusting in their brute
strength and their power, like would
say, the people would say, God, don't
help me and don't interfere
because you could say, well, look,
ultimately, you got to do youras in this
world, but you always have to recognize
it's with the help of Hashem. And they
took it too far. You know said if you
want to be in my army you got to be you
got to rip off your fingers and have the
blood drip down. That will prove that
you're courageous enough. In any event,
so you ask is that why bet was
destroyed? No.
You know why it was destroyed? Let's go
back to the
says
the lama. Take a look at number six.
Why was why was bet destroyed?
When the temple was destroyed, they were
partying in betar.
And you tell me what you would have done
when the B was destroyed. Cuz actually
the the Yami says that in the people of
were nasty to the people of Betar. They
would set up like this commission and
when people from betaar would go to be
ole regal they said where are you going
you want to be ole regal or you want to
like get a government job they said what
are you talking about we don't want a
government job we want to go to be rea
they said you sure I think maybe you're
looking to be a government job just want
to know you own that house that's your
house yeah no you don't own it anymore
they would write aar that the guy who
was going to be sold the pe the governor
and their
And they would they would just
maliciously steal the property of the
ben. Now when the garra says that the
bet was destroyed because of sinam and
you wonder like well what kind of what
they didn't like each other. They you
know they stepped on each other's toe.
There were the usami says there was
nasty financial swindling going on
between the benalim and the benar where
the benu shalim
like in mafia style would would do
hostile takeover of the real estate of
the bay betar. So when usual fell they
were happy in beta he said good you you
know good for those nasty people in so
the shami according to the carbon says
that even though in betar they didn't
have because it wasn't it was for good
reason in betar the s they had was for
good reason but still to celebrate the
destruction of ba mikdash that is what
did them in the gar by the way in gan
says something similar about
that it was destroyed
and says that was destroyed because they
were
the ramifications of studying this
tragedy are very powerful.
I didn't spell out every single detail,
but if you listen carefully, the
ramifications
are very contemporary and very timely.
And this is one of the great tragedies
that we mourn on Tishab cuz this
ultimately so to speak sealed the fate
of the Jewish people that until the
great day comes we're awaiting the memo
from Elio Anovi and that's why we're Mal
and the basically the furthest we're
able to go is to be
more than that
more than that we're not able to do
until we get that great memo from Elovi
This
is taking forever.
