Tu B'Shevat - The Day To Start Preparing For Purim

okay good morning friend I want to share with you a few thoughts let's begin with is we know the idea of is usually invoked in reference to P some apply it even to other that but nevertheless there are sources that the idea of applies to as well for example in the of jaob and we bring it in our humble which by the way is being republished and will arrive in America any day that tuat is a preparation for the of the says that wanted which is we make a in order to which was invoked by h on P so that is one source that has a significance and that is it's this idea is also mentioned in the of the re of chov that this is also brought in the what's interesting is the says that every year would learn before but specifically arfel theer theer he is no every year to begin learning on the 15th day ofat and to finish it by P that is brought in the that was the of the to start learning to start learning on and uh to finish it by P well once we're talking about andat you know it's very interesting the first cycle of Dai began in uh on rashash Tad 1924 that was the very first cycle of Dai Rashad and it was announced by Romer Shapiro in his letter that uh we're going to be beginning beginning learning da R and the the very first took place tough r s Al on tuat in the year 1931 but anyway the there is an idea that tuat begins the preparations for the yti of so actually we have a we start learning 60 days before so you could do an day and if you if you fell a little behind or if you didn't start yet you could start a BL day starting from TU so that's one element of the significance of tubish namely it is a for by the way just to add um and I'm going to be speaking about this this evening there's AER published by Shalom Z of Modina and he wrote A M on Tu in and he says tuat also is somewhat of a preparation for pm and a protection for PM because on that day ham wanted to wanted to select the month of shat and the month of shat um served as a protection for CLA is actually you know it's very interesting he writes that hamon wanted to destroy uh the Jewish people in the month of shat he writes here take a look if you here I'll put it up on the screen for you uh this comes from theer he says you should remember stood up for us in the times of when he cast the Lotter like it says in the and the reason why H did not select the month of is because even though was going according to and we don't pass him that way but we learned that the helped that H should not select to destroy the Jewish people in the month of shat there are other reasons why shat has a the medish and Esther says on the 23rd gathered on the and salik and for other reasons because the the ma of is which is but the what the mentions is the protected in the times of PM and in like we mentioned 30 days before is a for the Y of so um here we go
