#551: Amida: V'LiYerushalayim (Part 3)

is respons Saka family and by for as well we're on the not the proper pronunciation is we last left off the significance why do we DAV in addition to mhia daving for the eschatological era fancy way of saying mashia why are we specifying because is not an ordinary city as we say the second word of this it's your city it's the place of hashem's dwelling to place of hashem's Hashem manifestation it's an intense connection to Hashem and we long for it the real question is why does this BR begin with the letter v v is a the V connects with what comes before it there one other bra that has the V and that is some of you correctly pointed out when I said is the only with a V you correctly were ahead of me in preparing s Snippets but that's not true also has so what's the V of what do you mean and your city every other almost every other does not connect to the one before with a with the letter V what is the significance of the letter V here soab in his book in his safer on sitter says the following he says the word the word and the letter V here perhaps alludes not only to sh the idea that we have a geographic destination there is a holy city categorically different than any other called y but there's Shala there's y above very beautifully describes paints an image that Shala is filled with thousands hundreds of thousands maybe millions of tadim of holy and precious and of holy Jews who throughout the last two Millennia have hoped and doed and longed for y have waited have waited for the opportunity to go home have desperately yearned for our sovereignty and for Torah to again spread from and when the time comes sayab for to be rebuilt these Nas in the sh Mala these holy souls who poured out their tears as we mentioned last time from the that a proper the evidence the measure of a proper is does it bother you living in this gullas living in a place where people people ignore Hashem or drive him out or violate his will for this world thatb that state of person should be a person should worry and be aggravated over it and those who do they Merit to live in even if they left this world before y was rebuilt when the time comes says he says that those in shal will be together the people who are physically experiencing sh when the rebuilt when we come toim again then there'll be a celebration a union of sh together with those in Mal so the and the is and Mal this notion permeates not only our as we mentioned last time whether it's in Bening the gar shabas tells us that when we come upstairs we'll be asked one of the questions we're asked isua were counted in Shala is that where you went and that where you were waiting did we long for did we DAV for were we feeling a sense of of pain that Y is incomplete and that instead of looking up and seeing a b mikdash we look up and you see the the golden dome I once had the when I was learning Israel would come to take him escort him around to the different yeshivas that he spoke so he had come me went straight to the cotel and I met him soon after and he said he he said that he went he fulfilled the of Teran Kaa having not been there in 30 days he said before he tore Kaa he looked up he looked up at the m and when he saw that there's still no B still no B and instead it's occupied there is an occupied territory it's called and it's occupied by others to whom it doesn't belong he started to cry he started to cry he said that when he opened his eyes there were a bunch of people standing around him they were pointing like look there's a Jew who still cries so I saw him he said to me this is a short while after he said e doesn't doesn't everybody cry when they look up and they see there's no B mikdash why were they pointing at me why were they looking that's not everybody's reaction the first time you go back if you haven't been there and you look up and there's no B mikdash everyone doesn't cry everybody's not and everybody's not broken that's not the natural reaction so there's a special place for those who are Yeshua those who are waiting and those who are longing there's a special place and that's a fulfill we know the because they're incredible tunes and incredible singers and incredible harmonies and incredible performances atas but do we know the words we know the words but do we know the words do we know what it's saying do we know it's Essence do we know what it's telling us who's the I forget who's saying who's the author who's the speaker so the tarum the tarum tees the tum translates that it's so it's that's saying it says it's the Jewish people that all day every day we feeling is incomplete look at the world look at the international world look at the state of the Jew and that finds it way as we know I'll end with this tonight into so many of our practices at a for example there says you don't see this fulfilled as often as it should be some have a custom of doing it under the some do it before walking down to the to take some Ash and to put it in the place where the filling go on the on the head and he says others have a custom to break a a glass under the to put the ash on the on the to Brak a glass under the and the adds he says why do the Moms come in and break a plate but the says the reason we break the glass under the the reason we break the plate one and the same which are such a happy joyous moment but even in that happy and even in that joyous moment we have to be we think about we're answering that question and answering that call of of or we count it in the so the VAB doesn't say any of this part but the V of forab the V is sh we're waiting and longing for which of course has had at least but to be fully redeemed but to be counted among those in the
