tubish bat is one of the minor holidays
but it is really an amazing
time it is of course as we know the
Roses the new year of the trees and in
fact there are those who don't call it
tbat which means the 15th of Shabbat
which is the date on which it falls but
simply call it
which means trees it is a date of course
that is significant in because in the
land of Israel depending on whether the
fruit ripened before or after tbat the
tides the changes accordingly it is a
time when we should of course uh have a
little s there read
the have the foods there are actually 30
fruits that are prescribed to be eaten
sometimes it's difficult to get all
those 30 fruits so we should get at
least 12 of them and drink some wine and
read exactly what is written in the T
and sing songs and be together as a
family there's a significant message
however that I see in
tbat tbat which as I say is referred to
as if you take the word IL in gatria and
Jewish numerology it has the same value
as the word
like yesterday it's very important to
have a marker in life because when you
have a marker you realize just how fast
life is passing you by now when you take
tbat or as that marker and you look back
at your life you realize things that
happened many many years ago
are just like yesterday what's the
message in this the message in this is
we want to be good Jews we want to do
Torah we want to do
tomorrow today I'm a little bit involved
in other things I'll do it tomorrow but
tomorrow you don't know what tomorrow
means when you realize
that the years that have passed you by
were just like yesterday so tomorrow is
also that many years away who knows if
we'll even be around then by the time
tomorrow comes around so we must do what
we have to do today now not put it off
till tomorrow I think it's a very
special message that I get out of tbat
look at the trees look at how long
they've been around it's like yesterday
and they may have been here 200 years so
if we wait 200 years for tomorrow it's
never going to come do it today and may
bless us and
all wherever we may be and may we Merit
to see the
coming not tomorrow today
