snipp serious respons the S family and by we be the 17th are longing for to return to restore to the building of theik we last left off the told us was said not only today in the absence of during but even when the we D to that Theon the aod should be should be should accept it favorably today we don't have we don't have today theod that we have is is right after after we list all of our needs we then say Hashem we hope that that that went smoothly we hope that you're favorable we hope that you'll answer in a positive in a positive sense qued by comments on this the first of the last three of the writes the following when one says they should think not only about the restoration of the aod of the service in the bikash but we should see ourselves in our lives as the ultimate aod to sacrifice to serve Hashem that's r Hashem let my service of you let my life let my mission let my purpose let my lifestyle I dedicate I devoted all to you to the point that we're willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice it's a very difficult very difficult language to the points a person they have the Merit to be most of their to now I don't I don't think he means literally we don't value or celebrate death we the Jewish people the Torah teach us we preserve we fight for we protect we secure life we don't glorify death we don't long for death we certainly don't DAV for death yet yet in we say every day a willingness to devote to says means person says I'm willing to give you my resources I want to devote it all I'll give my life I'll give my life for you the balat writes the Tanya says the simplest Jew unsophisticated uneducated non-observant the simplest Jew push comes to shove in that moment pressed into a corner back against a wall the simplest Jew would give their life for being a Jew for Hashem we saw it throughout our history would be m nees simplest Jew writes the balatan not the most learned not the most Pious not the most observant simplest Jew has in our kishkas a willingness to be most said on his lips when he gave his life all my life I waited I didn't know how would I fulfill those words and now I can so B is not writing God forbid a person should DAV or long for but as we're seeing now so sadly and so tragically how many soldiers have been most neish have paid the ultimate price they didn't long they didn't want they tried to avoid at all cost but a willingness in the service of hem and of his people if we are devoting ourselves as that a that service sacrifice to hasem a sacrifice is ineligible if it has a m a blemish for us to qualify to be that sacrifice that service we have to rid ourselves of M of blemishes so R essentially is a calling that we do CH that we reflect on our lives and we live lives and lives of service in which we have no blemish so is our effort that we not find within ourselves any any blemish and listen to how he concludes he writes will be rebuilt go to the Cel you should look up and see something else there and say what's it doing there they're occupiers they're occupying our Mountain they're occupying our holy space it doesn't belong person should be in pain should be in pain we're longing we're daving we're waiting I once had this when I was learning to pick UPI he's coming shabas and to go around with him when he was giving shum so when I first picked him up I saw him I he had come from the kotel and I said reie how how was it and he said you know this peculiar thing happened I said what was that he said I I tore Korea and I looked up and there's still no B mikdash there's a Masque where the Mak mikdash should be said so I started crying how could it be I thought this time it would be different he said when I opened my eyes there was a crowd around me pointing and saying look there's a Jew still crying that so he looked at me and he said eim does doesn't everybody cry when they look up and see that there's a mosque and not the B mikdash to which of course I said yeah sure everybody everybody cries that's of course that's the natural reaction everybody does rebi I don't know what's the matter with those people so there's still our Jews there's still our Jews that look up and we should be among those Jews R is our our prayer that we qualify we count we be among those Jews that we look up and we say what that's not what's supposed to be here someone's occupying our home our land our Mountain our how could it be the pleasant fragrance that we provide the delicious barbecue that we sent to Hashem it's not there we're absent it's missing how could it be how could it be and I mentioned last time actually includes the words he says something astounding he says that a person the IIT writes the IIT writes that if a person doesn't answer a you don't answer a which is important because often people hear the and they jump right into mod Mod's a fan favorite so they jump right into mod and they neglect the after if we neglect that aain and we neglect in and we neglect what that's supposed to be we all want the Mia how can we get in the way so says that this should be said with a broken heart we're remembering we're reflecting we're nostalgic we're supposed to be there is taking the place but it's not the same we want the aod we want the we want the we want to be worthy we want to Merit to see his return mem speedily in our days
