Rav Mattisyahu Salomon address at the 10th Siyum HaShas for Daf Yomi by Agudas Yisroel of America

the emotions this evening run very high I want to start with a to finish with the words that we heard in the we here all together we standing [Music] up together with the heads of our tribes together with the there's no better description of the assembly this evening the balat says that the expression it's of him for an assembly we only find by it seems that this expression describes a Resolute assembly it's not an assembly of Celebration it's an assembly of people ready to commit themselves ga together to reconfirm their commitment to M he said to them he was saying to them you are standing ready to be counted waiting for your orders committing yourself to my to everything that this massive Gathering that we are that each one of us Fields a special s to be part of might possibly be as close as we've ever managed to get a resemblance of my and I think that is correct that although we must not forget we have come together to celebrate to celebrate an achievement of AAS an accomplishment as we've heard of making our connection with eternity through Shas a thanks giving to the for giving us the possibility the ability the time the opportunity theim and as we have heard the supporting family to allow us to immerse ourselves into the Yama talud but besides that we've come together to commit ourselves fully aware of our un unique place in history we stand here Resolute to make a fresh commitment a fresh commitment to Li in its undiluted original form this mimat this Gathering is a demonstration giving witness to the tenacity of Cl not to be coerced to betray the holy tradition as presented in sh not to look at different interpretations of t as having any value whatsoever only the as handed down together with thei we stand here and give testimony that nothing else is MS [Applause] and I think that this is a very special opportunity to acknowledge and to salute the diligence of those who apply themselves regularly to the Daily study of toyra the self discipline not to succumb to the various temptations that could so easily disrupt their routine is an attachment as we've heard to Eternity because people who would like would sink into the heav volume of this world will always find excuses to break Aus and we we feel it's a to see before us such a large Gathering to know that there are so many of Cl is prepared to make the sacrifice say the the describes sadness and and he says the cries tearfully and my eyes sheds tear because the flock of has gone into Exile and the says three times that is being mentioned here the first one was a MD the second one was a m and the third tier was because of B to so the but it says in the because went into that was the tear that sh at that moment and the all the problems of Gus the difficulties of G has brought upon we're not speaking here about the a of we're talking about B to in the context of B it's not there the world must be filled with to and in Gus the possibility of filling the world with to is so much smaller and so much more difficult and sheds a tear for the B the is missing from the world a perfect world a perfect world the world of the time of Mia is when the world is full with when everyone is learning involved in breathing toing in and as long as that isn't there so sheds a tear and as our Gus gets longer it would seem to us that sh's tear gets larger till we came here this evening we are saying to AEM is this evening we are wiping away a tear of we who give away time to learn we appreciate that the world must be filled with we who do our bits to fill that world with we are saying to we are going to do our bit to wipe away the tears there are many tears in Gus and there's a prophecy call upon him what better way is is there to beg is to wipe away our tears then to say to hasem is we are prepared to wipe away your tear we cannot fill the world with t but we can fill our homes with to tonight if we want to make a resolution it is to make a resolution that our homes will be filled with not only the sh that we learn with a sh in public will bring the learning of T into our we prepare a and we'll revise a we'll learn with our children we'll find moments to fill our homes with to all of us those who have learned the and those who come to show their respect to those who have learned the have got to understand that this on the first day of is a commitment I want to say over short says a wonderful thing that the time of mhia the will pour out the May and the whole world is going to be filled with de with to he says when you look at the ocean it's level at the top it would seem that it's all even we all know that they are different depths from the seashore till the depths of fathoms and fathoms of water what's an afina why is it one place deep and one place more shallow it depends on how much has been hollowed out it depends of how how much this there's a receptacle for the water to run into and sometimes it rises like a mountain and it's just over the top of the surface the water is very shallow in the time of you think we're all going to be equal the is going to P the me everyone a T is going to get an extra amount of T poured over him but how deep will it be as deep as he himself has hollowed out y out in his own heart a receptacle for how much in did you give away for how much were you how much did you want to appreciate and understand and everybody will give that great mayadas and it'll fill the depth that you yourself planed that you yourself arrang that you yourself hued out in the difficult times we have to also appreciate I think it's important to know and to understand that the had in their tens of thousands that have developed over the last years they are part of a ripple effect where the the which began the center of this Ripple of the after the set up so that there should be and that Ripple spread and the spread and and Thea spread all over the world and the the families dedicated to to and creating an atmosphere imp at with with and from there the ripples spread into the streets and people appreciated to and understood they must also know to let us all appreciate it's only because they they are those who give us the and the encouragement and it's from there that the stems that cloudy SL can grow in and tonight we'll make a resolution that we all extend expand and deepen our knowledge in that's our from so the who we're going to stand before him we remember and we remind ourselves from we'll close our eyes and we say there was a moment when we felt and it's toiler that we want every that our occupation should be to and this particular Gathering a universal must have a universal In This Moment we wiped away as much as we can of that tear [Music] of wipe away our tears there's so many tears in CL enough wipe away our tears if we wipe away will give us up and we'll all be [Applause]
