yeshiva is bracha the darkness and the dawn that's the title of this new book and kismo the darkness is obvious the we are about to approach tonight begins the period of the benham sarim the most tragic period of our calendar a period of time that has been almost a lightning rod for jewish tragedy almost inexplicably when there is disaster to happen it happens then on the other hand as we're going to learn tonight there is great promise and great potential and great spiritual energy latent in these particular days this farm teach us literally all of our pursuers catch up to us in this period known as the bain hammond sarin but this farm teach us anyone who chases god he see guha will achieve closeness to ubuntu shalom bain ahmed saram during this period of the year so on the one hand it's a period of darkness but on the other hand it is the dawn it is the time that we await the sunrise because we could feel the glimmer of hope that is latent in these holy days let us begin with a gemara message tells us and this comes from the sapphire this is the second chapter of the book you wanted to know how to get the gut the book i'm glad you asked this book you could go to our website rabbidg.com and you click on the book and you could get the book now if you want to get free shipping on the book and tell you a little secret there is a promo code rabbi dg r a b b i d g capital letters and you could get free shipping on the book or you could go to the rs girl website and procure your book for these days i hope it will uh elevate this season of the year for you well the gemara tells us of a few unusual practices that that the great rebbe rabbihood planted a tree on purim what's very planting a tree on purim there's a question whether you're allowed to do malacca and purim why is rabbi planting trees it's not arbor day it's not tu b'shvat what's he planting a tree that's certainly worthy of our discussion and focus hashem in the upcoming book on purim see i'm telling you a secret now the next book bezos hashem will be on purim i'm not sure about the title yet maybe the turn around and the triumph how's that for starters and we're going to discuss that practice of rebbi why rebbe planted a tree on purim bathed in a wagon in sipari on the 17th day of tamas now why is rebbe bathing on the 17th day of thomas why is he doing it publicly bathing would seem to be an act of comfort is that an appropriate behavior especially publicly on shavasana thomas there's it is a question whether rokhitsa's mutter on the on these what does it mean he bathed in the wagon in sipiri what's the meaning of this and the gemara says even more explicit inexplicably ubiqui shalak or tishbov rebbe wanted to uproot tish above and the gemara says did not agree that he could be a brutish above says the gemara rabbi abba barzavda says no no no that wasn't the story the story was a situation where tishaba fell out on shabbos and they pushed it off to sunday and rabbi says well once now the reason why if tishb comes out on chambers we push it off to sunday is there's a principle akdume paranusolo we don't advance punishment tishbov is a day of punishment so we delay it so rebbe says once we pushed it off get rid of it completely these practices certainly are worthy of our attention why in the world is rebbe bathing on shivasupatamas why does he want to uproot tish above why do we need to know it was in sipari why do we need to know it was in a wagon and here's another question [Laughter] adora sukkam so says the almighty master of hosts the fast of the fourth month the faster the fifth month the faster the seventh month the fast of the tenth month will be for the house of yehuda for joyous days in other words these fast days will turn into happy days for the jewish people by the way if i may you must see the chapter on that begins on page 457 called asar bhatevas on that very day where we have a very in-depth explanation and exposition on the fact that the tanism were not legislated for days of the month but rather for which month and that's why they're called sombra vitsa mchamel and so forth but why does the navi say that these days will be transformed into days of happiness for the base yehuda the house of judah what does yehuda have to do with the fast days all of the israel will of course fall fast and therefore when these days are turned into days of celebration we will all celebrate they are not specific to yehudah more than zvulan or god why dafga do we say they will be labay so now i want to move on to one of my favorite all-time encounters when ross advises naomi when nami advises ross to go to boyas and she tells her you know my daughter wait wait this out because you i'm glad that you followed my advice we know that nami advised russ she should lay down at the threshing floor where boyz was sleeping and tell him that she wants him to marry her and she comes back home and rus nami tells ross this man's not going to delay he's not going to push you off wait here my daughter until you know how the matter will fall because he will not let this matter rest unless he seals the deal today in other words baez will not procrastinate he will not delay but rather he will seal the deal and he's going to let you know today adar yaa darnish he's not going to delay any further and the question is how did nami why was naomi so convinced that buyers would seal the deal today there are a lot of things that needed to be ironed out over here chief among them is can boyas even marry ross russ was a moabite woman uh she came from mayav and by the way this week's parasha bilaam rose was a descendant of muyab actually we gave a share this week well billa may have been amidyani anyway but rus for all intents and purposes was a moabite and it's unclear if you're allowed to marry somebody from mayov so how was nami so sure that baez would seal the deal today and he would settle the matter today maybe he would delay maybe he would not know so this is certainly a question worthy of our uh attention now i'm looking at the cover now i'm getting distracted on the top of the cover we have the uh image of the arch of titus we actually gave a share recently about the menorah that appears in the arch of titus first of all it was not diagonal the way the sheet of the rambam is and there weren't legs like the raman rashi said and we explained that but back to the ranch the meadows tells us about an amazing phenomenon that occurred on tish above and that is the matter says that even though we treat ishiba as a day of sadness but the matter says there's a joyous quality to it on that day was born says the gemara on says the mishnah says the madrish that on tishabav mashiach is born and that is very curious one would think that the last day you would imagine mashiach would be born is tishaba and yet the madrid says in fact tish above was a mashiach is born on tish above how do we explain that so there's an amazing banaya saskar by the way you still have time you could join us on our trip we actually have a little bit of a change of in in the itinerary because the belarus is closed so we have to go into poland and instead we're going to the meney saskar and we're going to the rav naftali of rapshits and we're going to rip soda coin okay so the banana sashkar offers an astounding idea in the name of rapinchas karatzar and rapinha's karatsur says what's the shot that david he says as follows he says that mashiach is the holiest soul in order to produce such a holy soul you need a holy union now there's a very interesting and important and relevant halacha and the gemara tells us when a man travels before he travels he's obligated to pay special attention to his wife because when a man is going to leave his wife it's going to create a certain longing in her and she's going to yearn for him and therefore is obligated to recognize that and to give her the proper marital attention the benefit says that human nature is as we know absence makes the heart grow fond that's why you could have two people that they're at each other's throats they can't stand each other they're always fighting but when one goes to the airport and it's about to fly away all of a sudden they embrace and there's khibok vanishok and they show great emotion and great passion why is that because leaving causes the heart to grow fond and it creates uh it intensifies the ahava this explains you know the gemara tells us that that how were the kruvim in the dashing position the gemara says when we did the will of hashem the kruven faced each other when we didn't do the will of hashem the kruven were away from each other so if i ask you friends how would you have expected the position of the kruvim to be in at the time that the gentiles came in to destroy the temple you would have expected that the kruven were facing were away from each other they were probably you know all huffy puffy they they were probably a great distance says the gemara darshaning the pasuk kimar ish the light the layout save that the crew of him were embracing like a man embraces and is intertwined with his companion when the entered the temple the kruvim reflected a intense and passionate relationship between assassination because god was leaving us and even though he was upset with us and angry at us so to speak and he was departing and yahshua we were like a widow we weren't a widow we were like a widow the gemara says like a woman whose husband left overseas so god was leaving us and even though he was angry at us and we weren't getting along but the prolonged absence made god's heart become so fond and affectionate toward us that was reflected in the intertwining of the kruvim at that fateful moment when the came in to destroy the basa mikdash and therefore that was so to speak the most intimate moment of our connection to and a moment of such intimacy produced such a elevated heila ganashama namely the neshama of mashiach meshiach had to be born on teshevap because that's the moment that god yearned and longed for us and because he yearned and long for us therefore that was a holy zevog and because it was such a holy zevog it intensified hashem's longing for us and it produced the holy soul of mashiach sidkenh so that explains why mashiach was born on tish above let's come back to the significance of shiva asap so we see tishb has in it latent a certain dawn a certain element of simcha comes the holy hassam cipher with my safer in his drashas unpaid shin bays on the base to shin gimlimo you know how naomi knew that boyas would settle the matter today you need to look at a targum in the megillah because when did naomi when did rosa nami arrive in the fields of yehuda the passage says let me read you the passok that they arrived [Applause] at that's pretty good we had a pasaganecha we had a pasta in zacharia and now we have a pasuk in rus they came at the beginning of the harvest of the barley what's the arrival date says targom yoinosan ben uziel and how long did they stay they stayed from the end of the harvest of the barley until the harvest of the wheat three months so they came out of pesach they stayed three months which concluded on the 15th day of tamas rose advises nami ruth was advised by nami go to bayas say i want you to marry me and i want you to redeem the fields that belong to ali malach she did on the 16th day of tamas and then that was the night of the 16th she comes back because baas tells her let me figure out what to do i'll let you know don't call me i'll call you so she figured maybe she's he's stalling for time but bruce tells nami no va toy merch vivi is he's going to settle the matter today he's going to finish the matter today how did she know that he's going to settle the marathi because this was now the 16th of thomas and the 17th of tamos is a ominous time for the basic as we know the rest of the jewish people were exiled a hundred years before the quran they weren't exiled during the three weeks so for the rest of the jewish people the three weeks is not an ominous time but the malchus-based david and yehudah they were exiled in three weeks and boyas knew that this was a ominous time for the malche huda and therefore he would not get married during the three weeks just like we don't get married during the three weeks after the corbin he wouldn't get married during the three weeks before the corbin he sensed the impending ominous man latent at that time of the year so nami says listen i know this man he ain't going to delay this until later tonight is going to be the last time that boyaz will marry you because he's not going to delay this till tomorrow when shivasavatama starts and by the way boyas died that very night and says if he died on shabbat with thomas he was probably born on shiva tamas and sadiq hashem delays hashem fills their years so baaz knew it was his birthday on the 17th of thomas so he he was afraid he might die on that day so that's another reason that safer says that baaz will not delay marrying ross and therefore because shiva sarbatamus is an ominous time for the malche yehuda on the base david bayas would not delay any longer and he would close he would steal the deal today and sure enough baez lived with roast that night and you know who was conceived that night oy vade was conceived that night so the beginning of the michael of the flourishing of the malchus based of it began on shiva tamas so even though it's a day of great tragedy but it's also a good day of great it's a fortuitous time for the mahaspastafa as we see that oived was conceived on shiva tamas and even though tishb is the day of doom the day of disaster but who is born on tish above oh antiship meshiach was born and what about asara bataves sarvateves is also a tragic day it's the day they began the siege on yerushalayim yeah it's the day they began the siege but says in ibishits if mashiach was born on tish above the ninth of ab then seven months earlier meshiach was conceived when was mashiach conceived meshiach was conceived on tish above so all these days despite their tragic qualities have great simcha and samiras based latent in it tish above you know why rebbe wanted to be mavato tishb the gemara in chaba says anyone who says david sinned is making a big mistake like the posix says david was successful in all his ways and god was with him so why do what do i do with the pasik madua says hashem amar rav rabb said rebbi da asimi david rabbi who came from david mahaprabhu always looking for a way to justify dovah's behavior rebbe always defended of it because he came from david came from david who's born on tishbo a boy is born to the family of rebbi on tishiba khazal tell us it's brought in when a male progeny is born the whole the whole family is healed the whole family is healed and therefore if if if meshiach is born on tisha buff the whole family is healed rebbe who's part of that family he wanted to be like her tishombov noah nobody else wanted to be kartisheva because they're not part of the mishpacha but rebbie who is part of the family of david when meshiach he senses mashiach being born on tish above so he says okay let's just get rid of it entirely i feel the remedy the redeeming quality the healing properties of tish above and that's why rebbe wanted to be mavato tishbov well the ibanezham gave me a great matana the same way the holy binay saskar says rebbe wanted to be al-tishba because rebbe sensed the flourishing of the maha space david on tishbo perhaps we could say he also sensed a certain a certain blossoming of the divinity davidic dynasty on shiva asabatamas and that's why rebbe felt that certain mourning practices could be done away with because he sensed the fruition and the it's based on so we can read the gemara as follows we could say rebbi rakhats literally rakhats mean he means he bathed but like we say in berkshire may be in him i trust rebbi rakhat rabbi had faith the kroina in the karen in the in the glory of mashiach karen is a word associated with mashiach the yarim karen meshech he had faith and trust in the glory of sipari which nation is called the bird we're called the bird as the pastor says by the brisbane and basaram the yes and the bird he did not split rebbe rochas rebbe had faith bikrano in the glory shall see pyrie of claudius because the same way rebbe wanted to be kartish above rebbe felt that you could have faith in the fortuitous zeman of shiva asabatamas and we would like to explain very briefly that is one of the reasons why rebbe planted a tree on purim because you know purim is not the day of david parv is the day of shaol that's one of the reasons where pinchas kardashian says there is no krovitz for purim in the bracha of david because purim ain't the day for david. purim is the day of shaal the rectification of the mistake of shall and therefore since it is a day of shoal rebbe gets very nervous and rebbe says for once and for all we just need to declare publicly who the royalty belongs to you shall you could have a nice day but rebbi not tanatiya before the mars says what kind of tree are varnaki malachim a royal tree rebbe was saying al binyamin you can have your day but don't ever forget who malchus belongs to now i'll tell you another rene sasha the usami tells us that on the day of rebbe's funeral it was an hour of shabbos and there was a lot to do so hashem extended the friday so that people should not have to desecrate the shabbos there was and the gemara says anyone who participated in rebbe's hesped is going straight to ilam haba and there was one launderer who was not present at the hespid and he was so dismayed and he was so upset that he climbed up to the roof and he jumped off because he missed out of the opportunity and then a heavenly voice said okay the the launderer also has a share in the world to come it's asked why was it that hashem when was the last time hashem extended a friday and he made the friday have extra long hours ibanezham doesn't normally do that hashem doesn't extend fridays oh he did it for rebbe because since rebbe honored the shabbos he didn't want the shabbos to be desecrated by tishbow and he says if tish above comes in on shabbos shabbos is so holy that it's going to completely push off tisha buff so meet the canadian media he was rewarded that no one should have to desecrate the shabbos for his levaya another banaya sastra how many hours of the benham sarim in well how many days in khedastam is of the bin hamad sarim you have nine days of av and 13 days of tamas a total of 13 times 24 312 hours chevy chevy this corresponds we know that there are permutations of the yurt kevke really there should be 24 but the hay appears twice so they're 12. now all of these powers of holiness 12 times 24 which is excuse me 12 times twenty-six because the uke vavavke is twenty-six twelve times twenty-six is also three twelve the number of hours in estamas of the three weeks all of these permutations hohul they went into captivity that's maruma's in the hours of the three weeks in estamos corresponding to the number of permutations of god's name that went into captivity 26 times 12. says the banaya saskar they went bishvi but ultimately god will restore them to us also 312. so hashem gave me another great gift of this is another reason that nami knew that baez would settle the matter today number one because the three weeks are coming and it's not a fortuitous time for the mahrus best david and the and the shaivit yehuda but also she said chevy bt i know my daughter that this man will settle the matter today because tomorrow starts chevy the 312 hours in tamils that it's raya masley for the mahjos and it's a bad and ominous time for the mahjos based david and therefore he's not going to get married tomorrow he's going to marry you today because shiva are coming the 312 hours of tamas therefore we can humbly suggest these fast days that are ominous for all of but most specifically based of it they were the ones who were exiled during this time of the year but they are the ones who will experience the ultimate simcha this time of the year when these fast days when shiva sabotamos will be transformed into a yamtif aaron hakoyen when he made the egal he says tomorrow we're going to make the egg tomorrow will be a festival what do you mean tomorrow will be a festival tomorrow will be a day of disaster when we make the ego and will become a fast they know arna kayen was looking into the far-off future yes and he knew in the future it will be for the basic days of great joy and it already is latent in these days shiva sabatamas is the day of the conception of oived tish above is the day of the birth of meshiach is the day of the conception of mashiach but when mashiach does come and it will be the ultimate hashem then these days will be certainly for all of israel days of our lives but most specifically they were the ones who were exiled they were the ones who will experience this great joy may we all merit the day to see that soybean and our great zedda who always yearned for the meshiach and he always yearned for the gu'ula he will be among the first to get up for triathlon that god will make a special resurrection of the dead for those who anticipated the gaulah and they will be led by our great sadhikum of all the generations who yearned for the mashiach and zike nenu imaham thank
