The Biggest Miracles in History are Coming - Rabbi Eitiel Goldwicht

begin by first of all thanking Torah anytime for this uh tisha of burst of inspiration. You know we find ourselves in the beginning of the month of Av and the month of Av is a difficult month for Ben Israel. When the month of Av comes in we diminish in our sim but I want to change that around a little bit. I want to give us specifically in this time and in this age a new perspective because as all of our classes have been saying we're getting to that moment and therefore we need to focus the month of Av and what it really stands for. A also means father. A father gives birth to a new beginning. A is also alf. It's the beginning of the alf. There's going to be a new beginning that is starting right now. And I want to quote to you a benish in the introduction to safer and says the we said this in yesterday. Evan is a has come in. Those are the that are and in the beginning the look down at the month of and they were different of that we are diminishing in our more but really as the this is the which is the for all of the month it's the Roina and it has a mile that we can't even imagine. And when you think about it and you think it's going to be no, the next is and then we're going to be this day of which was the most difficult day. We're gonna understand that Hashem did it as a just like it's gonna end up becoming a day of and a day of lifting am together. The month of Av is the month of Aos. But the Benes says this is going to turn into the month of what is the Beneskai referring to. You know if you have something very let's say you have a large tree in Hebrew what do we call it? Eights. If you have a small tree what do we call it? Aits. So you take the eights and it turns into like a little plant and it's you take the and you add if it's if it's hot today so we say it's but if you want to say that it's just warm so you say it's you take the last letter and you add you repeat it again if it's car so to say that it's just a little car so you say it's the you take The last letter you add a U and you repeat it again. So if A is something very very big what would be a smaller version of A? It would be AI. What is AI? Aiv the month of AV is the month of the Gulah. The month of Nissim the month of Mosher Rabenu taking us out of Mitim of Kasamsu of all of the makos of all of the gul all of that is like anit compared to the eights it's an aiv compared to the aiv is g but that is nothing compared to the gul that we're going to see in the month of au flows flows And we're going to forget about the NISM of Mitim, the Gimarra says, because the Nissim of Av are going to be so great. This is the month that we're entering right now. And just to to paint it, I only got to this understanding. I haven't seen it inside yet. anyone speak about it this way? But we know that the Gimar says just like when the month of a comes in we diminish in our there's a comparison to those two months just like this. So to this and like always wonder what's the comparison it's two different energies and two different they have nothing to do with one another many different explanation for that but I I want to say just I think if you think about it historically for the first thousand years is our init was probably not a month that they that they had a veil in Even though it was already the time of when the Moraglin came back, but nothing new tragically happened. And the month of Adar was probably a very very sad month for Ben Israel because this is the month that Mosher Rabenu, the Messiah, the great leader of Ben Israel, who took us out of Mit was nif. So therefore, they commemorated the month of Ad to be a month of sadness. And how do I know that? Because that when Russia cast his lots and it landed on the month of Adar, he was so rejoiced. He said, "Ah, it fell out on the month that the Jews are sad. So therefore, I'm going to be victorious on this month." What does the Gar say though? Voyada. He didn't know that the day that Mosherenu was nif was the day that Mosherenu was born. This is a month that has in it a lot of potential for and therefore it was The entire month which was commemorated as a month of Ael turned into a month of Y a month of the happiest month of the month of A is right now historically for the last 2,000 years since when realized that all of the Torah are being put together in this month and on this day of tishab not only the moraglin but first byon is and then later on it was also bet all of the five things that happened on tishab they're all a destruction and therefore this is a month of aos and they made halos to be but the banishes is being mgal to us something very futuristic something that is no to our for that that month of is a month that is going to be and that day which is the day in which the destruction happened. What day is Msiah born? Teaches us the medish on tishabove is the day that Msiah is born. It is from the aos comes out the when we enter the month of a we need to enter it with an understanding that the pain and understanding it and and looking at the suffering in the eye and understanding the pain that Amish has gone through in the last 3 years and in the last 2,000 years is going if we are able to look at it in the eye in the right way will be za that this month will be for us into a month of and that's really what I want to focus on today. I want to focus on how could we get to the what is encapsulated in this month so that we could get to the true cuz this week we're in the beginning of the month of Ara of Shabas but next Shabas we're not going to be learning on Thursday because it's going to be tish and by the time we meet the week after that on Thursday it's going to be already after tub and there's so much happening in the next two weeks we have a shabas kazone We have tishab, we have shabasu and we have and I want to take a bigger picture at the month of a to try to understand what's going on over here. What is the how could we actually turn the month of a into the month that is av compared to that it's going to have such tremendous miracles compared to the huge miracles that we had when we left mit. And that's what we sing. It always falls out on the same exact day. The day that Pes was first night of PES is the same night as Pes was Wednesday night. Is Wednesday night every single year. And we say, but we end that it's going to be the same day of what do we need to do in order to merit it. So when we go to next week's para the shabas that is known as tells us you should surely have you should be surely surely have an and my question is how could you give an to a person twice once you consult them once you comfort them. That's it. You gave me if I was difficult with one of my children and now I want to bring them back. So I say, "Come, come, come back to Aba. I'll give you a hug. It's going to be okay. It's okay. Now you're going to be a good boy. Aba loves you." Right? And we're back. That's it. You don't need to do it again. You don't need to do it again. So the medi says says the sin twice. [snorts] As the says was Twice they got hit twice. We got another malus. But even even still, how can you get a double? So I patched my son once and then he he messed up again. I patched him again. At the end of the day, we don't patch this in our generation. It's okay. But even that it's important sometimes to patch. It's important. Very important. All right. Son was he gets uh scolded by his father. He gets a patch by his father. He be again he gets a second time. And now the father sees that it's time to give him the moment you give one. That's it. You're back to being together. Why do you have a double? That's question number one. Another question in our of tisha. We say we're always using and throwing around the words. What is the difference between what's the difference between the two of them? And the ni says we have named why is it called maybe should be called what's the difference what's the difference between we're always seeing it in all the of and finally I want to understand a little bit more about tub. What exactly happened on tub? The gimar in says there's no happy days to like yum kipper and tub the happiest days for and on those days it was days of the girls used to go out on on the afternoon of yum kipper and the everyone was wearing white they used to find their shak and the girls would go out on tav and everyone would find their shak and the Gar compares these two days as the happiest days for all of why what happened I I know what happened on on on yum kipper the gimar says the gimar and it says what happened on yum kipper it's so once we're atoned so it's a happy day we feel so clean loves us we're back we're feeling but what happened on tav says are a few explanations number one mess midbar which seems to be the reason according to the Rama the 40 years of Jews dying in the desert because of the sin of the moragim they stopped dying on tub that's when they realized that they're going to be alive there's a different discussion how it happened it was tishabove every year tishab they would go to sleep in in their own graves that they dug and only a certain percentage would a certain percentage would die and the rest would get up the next day and they thought maybe they made a mistake they made a mistake until it came too bad they realized no we are staying alive. The last portion realized that they're going into number two and other they're allowed to marry one another. Number three, they removed the guards from the roads that put a blockage that you can't go up to. you're allowed to go up to your number four and all of the people thousands and thousands of people who were murdered by the beta revolt which is one of the terrible things that happened on tishab they were able to bury them after two years and none of them were decayed they were able to find each one exactly where they were and to give them a proper kur it was a big nace and number fiveim they stopped chopping down the woods for the mar. Those are all very very nice things and very important things. Are they like yum kipper? You're comparing yum kipper to tahav. What's going on over here? And in a certain way, if you think about it, it seems that nowadays those two days in modern Israel became the most extreme and polarized days. Like yum kipper is a day of kaduca. It's a day of dav and shul. And to be they turned it into like a Valentine's Day. It's yava or something like that. But we're trying here to try to understand what is it? What is the essence of it? What could we bring back? Like we're so far. The question is so glaring. How can you compare kipper to tub? It's like two different hemispheres. Is it that we lost tub just because it's in the middle of summer camps and no one is around? So the rabbis don't speak about it. So it's like not clear enough. Like what exactly is tub? Why is it such a happy day like the day of yakipur? So we want to understand how could you get a real why is it a double what's the difference between and also what is the secret of ta so in order to understand this I want to give an introduction the basis of all of Judaism is around one idea and it's the idea of love of there are two major loves in Judaism. Judaism is ultimately a religion of love, a system of what are the two majors? We have and the other one is there is the love between man and his creator and there is the love between man and his fellow man and included in that is the mitzvah of of loving even someone who is outside of our people who's making his journey back into Israel. So you have the love between human beings and you have the love between human beings and their creator. Those two loves people think that they have nothing to do with one another. Two separate thing. One means I'm a religious man. One means that I'm a nice man. One means that I pray. One means that I have good manners and that I'm nice to my friends. But we know that in Judaism it's not the case. The love is intertwined and connected with one. And that's why when the convert came to Hillel and he said teach me the whole entire Torah or Rabi when he comes to say what is the the rule that all of Torah is based on he says the entire Torah also the understanding of comes from and also our there's a that brings us down that comes and says there's There's one in Judaism and he says lives based on his amuna says of desler real amuna is connected to did you do your business with faithfulness your faith your amuna is how faithful are you to one another if you want to show that you have a strong or a strong love for then you need to have a strong love for his children as well. They're intertwined. If you have a real strong love for one another, you're going to learn to have a strong love for the aavos are intertwined. They're connected. They're one another. And that's why both of them the key uh I would say trait to understanding how to build love is learning how to listen. Love is not built by sight. Love is built by when you could hear one another in a real way. It is true to love between human beings and it is true for our love with when it comes to human beings. We say by at the end of a bris a famous Torah I love to always quote from my father. We sayrisis why do we say that right away after the bris we say twice we give the at the end he says there's four there first four aras in the Torah when says so rash over there brings down the four different areas that are referring to human beings there's also the ara of the fruits but the refers to human beings so he says there there's that they didn't that They couldn't their their heart was hardened. It was covered. Rashi always explains that there's a cover. There's the of the brisma and there's also that they they refused. They sort of closed off their ears. They covered their ears. They weren't willing to listen to anyone who was giving them. So my father said what's the right just like he started the process of removing the cover of the other three tora is the my speech is negative or it's not in it's not developed so you want to remove the negative speech and you want to have speech of Torah and of positivity anyone who knows that the real understanding of a real marriage is the are you able to truly listen to what your spouse is saying to what your husband is saying what your wife is saying what your children are saying any relationship is built is like what's really bothering him what are they really saying what's their pain point and then is the our love of the is removing any difficulty so we find that is the ability ability to fully understand another person. But is also we're going to learn this in next week's paran is the one that want is that is the introduction to the of loving what do we say every single day twice three times a day listen in Judaism we don't make idols and pictures to worship but rather we Listen to the cold mama of And that's why in the gimar the raazir brings this down. The gimar is filled with tash. Come and listen. I hear from this I understand what it is. I understand you. I I feel you. The shia is the ability to understand what a keshbu wants from us and the listening is the ability to understand what our friends want from one another. We have two loves. The love of aeshbu the love of one another and they're both built on the same thing. Let's take it one step deeper. B Israel are leaving mitz. There's two major events that they need to go through in order to live a full complete life. Number one is receiving the Torah. Understanding that bris that covenant sort of like a with that is our locking into the bris of the covenant that we stood under with he's giving us the and therefore we're getting married. We are one with and the second one is once we have the Torah we're about to go into and as Mosher Rabenu in the entire safer in the end of Bidbar it's called the bris of arvos mo arvos moav is in the is arvos is arvos is raim where do we build the society that is b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b based on these laws. on this Torah on our relationship with where do we build it? How does it reveal itself in this world? If is our and we go into the chose and over there we build a society that glorifies our relationship with so we were in our fillin and his fillin wears they are one they're connected to one another and they're building this society where does oneness reveal itself when we're able to build a society that ised Ed and based on these values, oh, Hashem's name is glorified in this world. Two major things, receiving the Torah and going in. In both of the two major things, we messed up. We stood by Hari. We said, Hashem, we want this, but we didn't have the patience. We didn't have the patience. And the day that should have been like we spoke in our on it should have been a day of and of rejoicing of the celebration of comes down with and he sees that they're doing a so what does he do he breaks the lus we have shattered our relationship with we're second stage we're about to go into Israel and Mosherenu the people come together they want to send Moshen speaks about in this week's par and they say and I agreed we'll send the Moraglin even though in that par doesn't say Moraglin it just says but they came back as Moraglin and they became an adah haros this terrible group of people why was it a terri terrible group of people because they were looking out for their own coat as brought down in the zor as brought down in they didn't want to go into because here we're the leaders and over there we won't be the leaders and therefore each one was looking out for himself there was no aras for the rest of they weren't thinking about the rest of the Jewish people what's good for them what does want from us they weren't even thinking about one another as a team there each one was thinking what's good for them and therefore or they warned Z to go into we messed up even in the entrance to which is based on our arim being connected to one another. We lost that one as well. By the way, in both of those who did not sin, it was the that did not sin. In both of those, they did not want to give their gold and silver for the eel av. And when the moragum came the way the kakar brings it down by boss said that they didn't they didn't cry like the rest of they said no no no tobar mode and if and it says the clear if mosha would have sent women like to be loser they would have came back with a great report we would have went into something to think about a deeper vision that the women of ya midwar had. So we have these two tra tremendous tragedies which are the two tragedies that we are surrounded by right now. Anyone who chased us and was able to be massaging us and to hurt us is because it's between these two major tragedies of not completing our love and relationship with and receiving the Torah and that's the breaking of the lus that happened on and the second coming into loving one another aros of coming into the land of Israel and being as one people we messed up on tishabove with the sin of the and because of those two things is are having ongoing troubles until today. What is going to help us be met them? How do we fix it? There's two major dates. Each one is coming to be met each one of those sins. And that's the tremendous understanding when we sinned by the and the lus were shattered and they were broken and we hurt our relationship with we weren't married on the same level. What is the day of the of the of I forgive you for that sin? 40 days Mosherenu goes up and asks for forgiveness and says go down to B is tell them to get ready and come up for another 40 days the third time and then I'll give you a second set of lus and when was that kapara ultimately the kapara Mosher Rabenu finally comes down on which day with the second set of l and with a an eternal message of that even after we messed up our relationship with we could always repair it. Relationships sometimes go through a whirlwind and sometimes there's a fight and sometimes there's an argument and we need this relationship with the Torah and with and sometimes we're not perfect but gave us a day of so that we could rebuild that relationship with and that day says [clears throat] the Gar at the end of Tinus is because it is the day of rejoicing. But there's another day that that brings down which is the day of the day of is the day of of the other that we did the of the sin of not being connected to one another and therefore all of the aos and the five things like we said in our shasamos that happen on shivasamos they're all breaking our unique private bond and relationship with we've broken that bond each one of those five things and therefore is bringing the bond back if you look at the five things they're all things that we broke the bond with one another the moraglin lashhara against not thinking about their brothers that want to go into killing one another stealing from one another inappropriate relationships that's there's no arvas there that we're still experiencing today harugaka shalom according to some and finally we were totally kicked out of this land and of just like the first sin of the moraglin. What happens on two? Each one of those things are our ability to show that we are one and that we're dedicated to Jushai. Number one, that meidariku mebar all the ones who spoke lash and har stopped dying. The last batch perhaps did chuva and was even able to enter. They thought they were going to die and they woke up. And they woke up the next day who saw they did chuva and they realized we have to be moser nephish to one another. They did chuva on a relationship that they broke. The shvatim were not allowed to marry one another on tab. They were allowed to get married. There was an inner fight between shvy and the rest of the shvatim. Eventually they forgave them and they said we will marry the shvat of binyamin. There was no connection between Aniim and the rest of Malus is and Malus Yehuda. It was like two different people within AmIba put roadblocks. One cannot enter the other. It's like it's like the east and the west of Berlin. There's a huge wall in the middle. You can't connect. Even though there's families on either side, they're able to finally connect. It's the day of Harug Betar. that were brought to and sees that kept their bodies intact and that there was a sense of being there for one another at the end. So even though they died the end they were there for one another and made a n to show and it was and finally like the at the end of tinus the dedication of all the different families. They used to have a holiday when they brought the up to the to it was the full dedication of several families that would come up and bring the as opposed to they're bringing all the up to the day of is the day of and of just like is the is the day of and for the sins that we've done in a certain way. You should know that the two loves are int they're intact. They go together will not work if is not working for you. Tav comes before cuz tav is there to awaken us that you better start putting in order your relationships that are not intact so that you could be z to the month of a is the month of the but it's the month that we have to take steps and we have to go out of our way to ask for because is the day that we broke mainly until today. What is it that we could do in order to bring Israel closer together? And in a certain way, this is the wants to tell us. If you're able to get close to every other Jew, to feel them, to be connected to tap into the potential of the month of Av of a new beginning of alf of tremendous, it's going to be a month of of unreal things. So then you're going to be what's there's two. The first is you should be one another for all of the pain and tragedy that we've been through in the last years in our lifetime. Be there for one another. But there's a limitation to the to the comfort that I could give someone else. I could come. Unfortunately, if someone is sitting shiva, we could come. We could be there for them. And and says you just need to come and be there. That is the you don't need to say anything. That's an important people need to understand the of you just need to come and sit if they start talking to you. So then you talk back. So in that I could be there for you for the future but I can't fix the past. Someone is lost some pain has happened. I can't fix it. But says number one if you're each other. So then I will be I will give you is an that goes retroactively. It's as if we we suddenly understand that the pain of is really the the itself as the said in our opening words that suddenly it's a we're able to get a hindsight a 2020 vision of of being able to see how everything led up to this tremendous miracle. And that's that's the two one to one another. The second is going to give us like we've never ever imagined. And those are the two aspects of there is and there's the is giving us But is the that we are building together holds in it both aspects. It holds in it the aspect of it's the city for everyone to come together and it's also of the of our relationship to when we say the is when the is able to come back to to is that you gave us the strength to come together and to build the two different the raashi. Does the base of mdish come down or do we build it ourselves? It's both. We need to come together so that we're able to build needs to come down from shim in order that means something and it's not just a physical beautiful building. This is the month that we're in. We're in the month of building. Perhaps this is what Rabi Akiva saw when he went with his friends to Haratim. They were overlooking yushim and they started crying and they're crying and they don't know what's going to happen and Raba starts to laugh and they say how could you laugh don't you see look at what's going on in Harabay so he says this is why I laugh cuz what does he say Rabaka is the one who remember in the other story of Rabaka that his chicken and his donkey and his candle the candle went out they didn't let him into the city and then the candle le went out and then the chicken got eaten by a by a cat and his donkey died and then he he was totally in pitch dark so he went to sleep quiet in the middle of the field in the morning he hears noises coming out of the city and what's going he he makes his way to the city by by daylight he sees that there were robbers who came in everything that happened to him in the middle of the darkness in the middle of the gullless Rabaka always said and he learned from anything that the Torah does that Hashem does is for my good. So he's the one who's in the darkness is able to see. What is he able to see? He tells them there's two there's one prophecy of will be totally plowed over. That's what we see. But that gives us to the other of we're going to be all coming back together. It doesn't say it will be totally destroyed. It says it will be plowed. What happens after you plow a field? If you plant a few seeds, what happens to it grows again? Abaka saw within the that was totally plowed down and they tried to erase the name Jerusaleim and to erase the name Judah and to call it Palestina and we're still dealing with that until today with the rewriting of Jewish history that the our enemies are still claiming that that is the name of it. We're still dealing with that until today. It's real. But Rabi says we already see the happening. It's happened on we brought in the eight. There is so much growing in this place. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to us. comes down to our ability to connect with one another to work on our and also to rebuild our relationship with of when we understand that these two loves is the bedrock of what Judaism is all about and that we're able to incorporate them into our life in the month of we're going to see the month of A is that is like the eights. It's a huge tree compared to the aviv to the small miracles of mit. And you can imagine if the miracles of mit we're still celebrating them every year on pes and on we're celebrating the how it all flipped into Yeshua. You can only imagine how big the miracles of the month of a are going to be. If only we'll be z to it. We'll be z to and thank you so much. Thank you. >> Amen. >> Such a hopeful message. >> Amen. We need we need hope in our generation.
