sources that will really upgrade our understanding appreciation of tuat eim is um giving us free advertisement so Ephraim is going to get um a free copy of the upcoming ha of Pak in French in honor of in Le of his free advertising uh we'll have to figure out how to get it to you okay B this year you're going to have to say the Manana in French okay that's part of it okay um tuat the tells us on the first day ofat is a rash for the tree now the word is a subject of great discussion in the B and we've spoken about that in the past how it is a reference to the es that is not what we're going to speak about today what we're going to focus on is a different of the and that is the fact that the Mish says it doesn't just say it says and yes that is also the subject of the focus of the basar but we are not going to be learning the Ben sar's interpretation today today we're going to be going with the understanding of theen but this is the question of why would it refers to the opinion of does it say in accordance with the words of B it should say these are the words of B why this so to speak indicates that this is in concordance with everything B says I see a wants to go to the to the safer this is actually the grand finale of the light and the Splendor this is amazing um presentation and this is the question of the why does the Mish [Applause] say in accordance with the well-known opinion of B again thear has his approach but we're going to be learning today the approach of the yud the he even brings in the that his z uh deals with this de of why it says now theba offers the following amazing approach and that is in general we know that Rabbi elazar was called a shuti shuti refers to the fact that he's a student of Shai let's say in the gar in shab the says it's number eight on your sheet rash says is either they put him in like the say and thei says he's me sh either rabar was put in or he was a student of shi now what isar have to do with this there's a well-known when was the World created thear says in going on to in the world was created the were born in Tish the passed in and the gar goes on to say that rear holds on P was born on rash s was remembered Ra was remembered was remembered rash left prison rash we stopped our in in the month of Nissan we were redeemed we are destined to be redeemed in Tish the opinion of Reb Lazar is the world was created in Tish and we will be redeemed in Tish then the gar brings the opinion of Rua says the world was created Nissan the were born in Nissan the passed away in Nissan on P was born on Rashana Sor was remembered Ra was remembered was remembered on rash y left jail we stopped working we were redeemed and we are destined to be redeemed in so we have Rua when the world was created when we are destined to be redeemed rear says Tish Rua says Nissan now rezar says the world was created in Tish rishu Nissan as mentioned RAB alzar is a student of shamai and this is in concordance with a wellknown when was the World created B Shi then would say the world was created in Tish and B would say it was created in Nissan why do you think Bai says the world was created in Tish and B says the world was created in Nissan this is why we know that b gave Primacy to Mid B was a more of Aid Man when they asked B sh sum up the T on one foot B shami said get lost when they asked B Hill sum up the T on one foot says the world was created in Tish Tish is the month of din rash are we are we are judged we are judged y we are judged to get anywhere in Tish you need to earn it you need to deserve it you need to repent you need to have therefore B sh says the world was created in Tish in the month of din that's on the month of Rashana rezar who's ATI rabar who follows the opinion of shamai he holds the world was created in Tish Bas Hill on the other hand and RAB Yeshua is going according to that opinion says the world was created in Nissan in Nissan we didn't do Chua in Nissan we didn't deserve it in Nissan we were a in Nissan we were why did God redeem us in niss because it's just Nissan is the period of year of complete now when was the World created Shai and razar say Rashana Hill and Rua say but really the world wasn't created on either of those days that's when Man was created but the Genesis of the world theim the first day of creation was six days before on either or so would say the first day of creation rishu would say the first day of creation is and andar would say the first day of creation is is however there's another the is in that the tells us in 40 days before the formation of the Vlad a Heavenly voice declares the daughter of plainy to plainy which means that before or even the formation of the embryo 40 days before upon conception there's a declaration who somebody is supposed to marry the deres from here that before something comes into fruition the idea is conceived 40 days earlier this is not just when it comes to marriage but when it comes to any matter of significance before something comes to fruition it is conceived 40 days earlier therefore if the first first day of creation was either or respectively then the idea to create the world would have been Tu of orat respectively so if you wanted to know when did God conceive the idea to create the world for the Jewish people so rabar and shamai would say tuba of and Rua and B would say tuat ah so now all of a sudden Tu has some significance because let me ask you a question you know the brings down the writes that we don't say why in the world would we not say tuat tub bishvat is not a celebratory day what are we exact what are we celebrating on Tu bishvat you know tubish is a halic Demar day of demarcation where what what is the joy of tuat why would we not say does that make sense do we say do Would we not say on the day that's for where the animals born last year are from last year's TI and the Animals born this year from this year's TI there's nothing celebratory about the and there should be nothing celebratory about tubish tubish is just a line of demarcation tu is the day the sap begins to rise in the tree and whatever had does not mean budding Kata means the earliest stage of development of a fruit whatever had Kanata last year you take off Mya on last year's produce whatever has after tuat then it is belongs to this year regarding the laws of my so TUV is not a day of Joy or celebration why would we not say t so that's something we need to investigate and furthermore you ever think about the fact why in the world would we eat fruits on tuat first of allat no fruits grow the sap begins to rise in the tree does anybody eat cows on because it's you ever see somebody he's walking home with a a goat say pal what are you doing I'm bringing the goat home why because today is rash so I need to eat animals I need to eat cows nobody eats cows on the day that's why in the world does anyone eat fruits on the day that's cuz you have nothing better to do no pal if you have nothing better to do onat than eat fruits then you need to you need to speak to someone there are a lot of very good things you could do with your life other than eating fruits why do you need to eat fruits fruits you need to eat every day you know the FDA has a certain the fruits you need to eat daily now do I know anybody who actually eats the that many fruits every day I don't know anybody who follows that bad that triangle yeah everybody says they believe in it I don't know anyone personally who actually subscribes to I know people who flip the triangle and they have many portions of candy and Cake they have then under that they have lots of carbohydrates a little bit of protein and then maybe a little bit of a piece of fruit I know people they flip the they flip the triangle but why should he eat fruits on Tu because it's rash do you eat people on rash cuz people are judged no I hope not you don't eat human beings on rash so why do you eat fruits on tuat so back to our there are two days that are the conception of the creation in the world has no significance is 40 days before before the 40 days before Tu is not significant in b b says if you're going to talk about trees you might as well do it on so that's why who says the world was created in he says in the world of there's nothing significant about there's nothing significant about 40 days before but in the world of where the world was created in Nissan and the first day of creation is and 40 days before is says the significance is given to not so it says theba the reason why the mishna says is this is in accordance with bami's opinion that the world was created in Tish why does bami say the world was created in Tish because B learns that the world was created with mid bous is um B Tish um the word bous bar the word bous is you the says because believes in a world of and that is what the the month of Tish represents it's a month of din it's a month of judgment it's a month of chuva it's a month of accountability B Hill says no the ier the ier uh time of the year is the time of RA when hasem created the world in Nissan Nissan is a month when we were redeemed even without CH when we were redeemed without when we were redeemed in with now friends there's another and that is when will hasem redeem the Jewish people reab alzar is of the opinion that God will redeem us in Tish Rua is of the opinion God will redeem us in Nissan it's the same because by the way you know Rua holds I'm sorry rabar holds rebar holds that the Redemption will only come with repentance reua says no we don't have to be we don't have to do Chua for mhia to come that's an amazing that is an amazing uh dispute re and brings that it's RAR and again namely says R Warman that if Hashem is going to redeem us in Tish that's the month of Chua then Hashem will only redeem us with chu but ifem is going to redeem us in Nissan then is not a month of CH niss is a month of complete niss is a month that we're so is will be redeemed even without cha says R in his so what comes out is let's think about that when will the Redemption happen the Redemption will happen in the the month that Hashem created the world re Yeshua says Hashem created the world with r he created the world in Nissan and therefore the Redemption will happen in Nissan and re alzar says that the Redemption will happen in Tish created the world with mid and therefore the Redemption will happen with mid so let's make one simple okay in a beautiful if the world was created in Nissan according to R by the way we p in that way the ran writes in hisas at the end of jiml that we pasin the Redemption will happen in Nissan well if the Redemption will happen in Nissan for all intense and purposes just like God created the world on the first day of Nissan that's when he created man but that means the first day of creation was so if you wanted to know when will the very beginning of redemption start okay and when will Hashem conceive of the idea to redeem the Jewish people when will the idea so to speak arise in the mind of a to redeem the Jewish people ah that won't happen until 40 days before that will happen 40 days before on tuat so that means tuat is the day that it arises k in the mind ofes to redeem the Jewish people now we understand why tuat is a celebratory day because it is the day most associated with the earliest steps of Hashem remembering cl to redeem us the G will happen in Nissan the beginning of it the conception of it 40 days earlier on tuat tubish is the beginning of the Redemption of the Jewish people in fact in the saer of theen rebba he brings from the rebba of Rin that he would say that the 15th day ofat who is the in fact if one of the most extensive descriptions of tuat is found in the and what's interesting is that what's very interesting is that if you look in theim that brings about enjoying tubish and eating the fruits of tubish he mentions many of theim about the G of so in in the he brings that the development of tubish and when it began to become popular was when the was uh started to be proliferated and in that saer when it talks about in the saer of when it talks about the procedure of AAS on tuat he brings many of theim that are so to speak Lo longing for the Gula and attempting to be marar of the Gula but again that fits in beautifully with this idea that we're advancing that in the world of RAB Yeshua that the world was created and and that means the first Notch of creation or and G would then be and the conception of that would be 40 days before on tuat so let's talk a little bit about then that which the mag brings down that ashm have accustomed to eat p on tuat we've now uncovered an amazing dimension of tuat tu the world is created in Nissan the first day of creation the conception of it 40 days earlier onat but not only is that the conception of creation it's the conception of G because if benal which means then 40 days before the conception of G is tuat so why are we eating fruits on tuat and we're going to uncover something really remarkable the gar says there is no more open and revealed signal of the coming of the G than the proliferation of fruits of God addresses the mountains you mountains of Israel your branches should give forth and your fruits shall bear for my nation Israel because they have come close to come what does that mean the gamar is saying if you want to know the most open sign of the coming of the G is the Lush and proliferation of fruits in the land of Israel rash says when the land of Israel gives fruits gives forth its fruits generously rates then the end will draw near and by the way the mara observes an amazing phenomenon the mar Mara observes a phenomenon this is something Mark Twain wrote about that so long as K were not on their land did not give forth fruits and this is something we saw in our time in our century when Jews began to return to Earth Israel in the 50s and the 60s and the 70s then swamp land marsh land which was formerly uninhabitable was swamp began to turn into an oasis the interdependency of er Isel with CLA Isel that the mar says that ER Isel will not produce fruit for our enemy if you want to if you want an example of that look at the difference between a certain strip of land bordering the Mediterranean Sea when Claus were there and when our enemy was there it was one of the most fertile areas of the world and then it just became Devastation so the mar says when the land of Israel when isra is Lush and fertile that is the greatest Simmon of the coming of the G in fact thear say why do we have the before because when you see when we see and we see you know what's coming next that is so the fruits of are the greatest sign of the coming of the G by the way not only that the says the trees of the of the field will give forth fruits what do you mean the Trees of the Field trees in the fields don't give fruits trees in Orchards give fruits Rashi says this refers to Barren trees that are destined to give forth fruits that love even the barren trees are destined to give forth fruits you know why the meaning of that is the baron trees are destined to give forth fruits you know the theate would say that's what it means you see nowadays not all trees could sing only fruit trees could sing cuz they're protected they're in uh the president has given them a security plan right security detail president of the world God says don't cut down fruit trees but he didn't say don't cut down oak trees or maple trees but Lo even the Elan will give fruits then they'll all sing cuz then they'll all be secure they'll all have security detail they'll all be protected they all have witness protection program nowadays only fruit trees are protected so only the fruit trees are singing But when the day comes you know the says in that trees fruit lost their T and their R trees lost their T and R and the mishna says that since we no longer have t so fruit doesn't really have the same taste and smell anymore Ben writes the word tar is tells a story there of H identified a very Lush and beautiful fruit Raba his son looked at the fruit and he really appreciated The Fragrant Aroma of the fruit and Runa said oh my dear son you have tahar why because the reason why our fruits lost their scent and their taste is because of a lack of Purity in the Jewish people but when the our Purity is restored or those who preserve their purity their fruits retain their original Purity their Original Scent and taste would say that's why in the of we say so we understand but what's what does eating fruits have to do with Purity he would quote that the reason why our fruits no longer have the same Aroma and flavor is because of our lack of Purity so if we were to ask what barometer do we have in this world that is the most compelling barometer as to how close the Redemption is how far are we from it how close are we to it how what phenomenon could we examine to so to speak be Wishful and say you know this indicates that may things are happening it's the fruits the fruits of is are the greatest barometer of the coming of the G and therefore on when it first when it arises in the mind of to redeem the Jewish people because Redemption is in Nissan it starts the conception is 40 days earlier we pick up the fruit on and we are hopeful and we are yearning and we offer a prayer and we're davening and mat that wishfully saying whoa these fruits are really delicious look how Bountiful is is look how Lush look how fertile the land is it's on the day of the conception of the gah we pick up the fruits hopeful Wishful that this should indicate that indeed the Gula is close to coming so it comes out friends there really two periods of the year you have the period of T which is the time of mid it's a time of chuva a time of rash yipper days of judgment days of chuva and then you have Nissan Nissan is days of RA Nissan are days that even if we're not deserving and we're be of mitz Hashem elevates Us by the way just an added thought that's not published is that you know the tells us that tuba of the nights begin to get longer and because the nights begin to get longer therefore we have to learn more because the night is created for learning now what kind of learning is it dedicated for what kind of learning is it dedicated for we know that the Mets tells us how Didu know when it was day and night when he went up to when God Tau him to knew it was day and when him knew it was night so if on tuba of the nights get longer that means there's more time for T and that's consistent with the month of Tish you see the month of Tish is a month of Chua Chua is not spoken about in the the med says that hasem asked the toyra what should be the fate of someone who sins and the tah cannot come up with the plan of chuva only hasem himself only in the oral law on the other hand if the nights begin to get longer on tuba the mar says then the days begin to get longer Onish that's probably why the sap begins to rise in the tree because now the spring is starting the days begin to get longer if the days begin to get longer so then there's more time for maybe that's why the which is often we have the now thatat is coming the days are getting longer there's more time for the in a way is RA there's an idea that is 24 books of plus the two correspond to the sh which is RA there are contradictions to that idea sometimes we say but for our purposes we're just bringing out the idea that the month of Nissan is a different time of the year you see in the month of Tish you're not getting anywhere without chuva on rashash you don't get anywhere without chuva on y you need Chua Evena you need some forth some some type of repentance friends fasten your seat bels I want to share with you the remes of the century revealed that the par at the end of the tah symbolize various periods of chuva the best type of chuva is to get it done in 30 days start you're done by they get it done with their by 30 days sure enough they're 30 signifies the cha of 30 30 days many people can't get it done in 30 days they take till 40 days that's the CH of is 40 40 days of chuva that's for Bim you'll say but not everybody gets it done in 40 days some people they take until they they're a little bit weaker they take 52 days 52 52 days from for 40 for 52 for people of lesser sture Cesar of Wolfson there's some people they take longer they can't do it in 30 Days by rashash they can't do it in 40 days by Yumer they can't do it in 50 days 52 days they take until if you add up 30 of plus 40 of that's 70 plus 52 of 122 122 days from is some people take wol said his son-in-law the said also is 122 30 + 40 + 52 they're basically three types of chuva or four types of chuva you have the rashash chuva you have the Chua Bim you have the 52 chuva of people of lesser stature and then you have people who wait till the last second they wait until the end of hu 100 what's the word afteru but then rev wolson hit so to speak uh a brick wall and what are you going to do with theim of they 41 so wolson said you don't have to worry about did you ever read shab we never ever read it's not counted but God illuminated my eyes let's count because some people they don't even do chuva by you know why because they can't Merit the system of din because even zoa you still need to do chuva it's last call for chuva some people they're just not tishay people they have to wait 41 Days Later 41 days after is tuat for them they have to be with they have to be with the different system not the system of not the system of they're only the system of 41 days aftera is none other than tuat tuat now moves us into a new segment of the year you see the first half of the year it's Midas it's Tish it's chuva it's earning deserving it's hard work it's but we come Thursday we come to bat and we enter enter a new realm enter the realm of and some are only in so to speak in that type of system of judgment so we hope this coming may it arise in hashem's will to begin the process of gula we're going to eat the fruits and we're going to wishfully hopefully yearn and be that it signifies the beginning of the process of the G and as the gar tells us in and every day we we remember remember this we say and we say if that will happen then so on we make as the Reb would say that is the of the have a wonderful rest of the day
