The Miracle of Tisha b'Av 5785: Rise Up Instantly from Mourning to Malchut (Sovereignty)

Heat. Heat. [Music] Okay, I want to wish everyone to get up cuz at this moment within by the time this year is over there will be no remnant of the aus of tishab. What I mean is of course we know that although that on tishab the betameish was set to fire raman in the days of the Roman conquest and and and also otherwise in the previous conquest. So it burned through the day of the 10th. So the reality is that the that the 9th towards evening was the time they began to light it. So nothing really was destroyed on the 9th of Tishbab itself. It was just um the beginning of it but it hadn't been consumed. It had been lit but not consumed. But on on which is today the consumption took place. Hashem let his ash it saysim the the fire came down from heavens and the bish was taken upwards in flames. So Mr. Hashem be restored in the same fashion as we shall see. But the Kazal said that even though the majority of the burning took place on this day, we only observe tishabove minim customs till midday till okay which is uh Feinstein 12 noon is always so therefore I'm happy that we're beginning our shares precisely at the moment that some boskim hold is throughout the year differing opinions hold that it moves based on lung longevity of the days in question. So we have a little bit longer to wait here in Israel, but we'll we will during the course of this year be completely liberated from any remnants of Tishab observances which are what was observed during the nine days during the nine days that weren't in this year because tishov came out as we explained last time on a Sunday but we are machmir is asshkazimar not this to uphold the week of tishab observances all the way back to roshesh of and that includes no haircuts today, certainly no weddings today, no music today and no meat and wine today for breakfast and um and then uh the laws of taking a haircut, even bathing, that's quite a heavy level of restrictions. Um but and we're talking about pleasure bathing, hot hot, not not hygienic uh bathing from uh you know being sweaty, etc., which is perfectly fine. So the so just to punctuate this point my son asked me a wonderful question. He said why don't we if we had a week leading up to tishabove according to both ofkinazim why don't we have a week leading down from tishabove in other words if that's the epicenter the lowest point shouldn't we ease back and famously rabbi yphichek taught that the laws that were established to mourn for what's called the yishana the mourning for the destruction of the b mikdash the four fasts that were instituted by kazal Okay. Tishab being the pinnacle of it. Shivasama 17 of Tamos. S Gdalia right near right day after Rashashana that was the end of the hedgeimonyy of Jewish Jewish Malhoot on the land of Israel even post Horban. And of course the 10th of Tabis which is the siege of Jerusalem which we observed on Friday this past year. So which is rare. But the the original takana said mirrored the laws of mourning that an individual what's known as an aadasha there's two terminologies ashana refers to mikd that's the old mourning a kadasha means when a personal individual is touched by loss and they have to do morning observances we know they follow a specific pattern and salvage match the two patterns he said for example When when one observes mourning for a parent which goes for 12 months including 11 months of St. Kadesh there are restrictions in terms of social interaction and so on. He said that is corresponding to the period from the 17th of Thomas what we call the three weeks corresponds to the kesh period. All right. And then the idea of schloshim what's uh what's not okay in schloshim actually begins according to withh includes the week of tishabove quite as far just the week of tishab and until the day after and but tishab itself it's evening and its morning were constructed of the two most intense phases of morning number one was anus the night of tishab in which everybody reads according to some read lamentations during the day uh is the darkest darkest moment as we said sitting in the ashes by the ovens and uh contemplating our darkness that's called the period of anos means pre-barial a person has a loss and the me of the mesa is lying in front of them at that point you don't do any condolences you don't do and the the mourner is not obligated in positive mitzvah can't violate negative mitzvah but doesn't have to dab and say etc. It's a very very poignant moment where his focus of attention as was designed in the laws of aus be which began with Mosher Abenu himself instituted these laws of Shiva and so on that at that point and we know in the Torah the classic example was Aron the Cohen Aron the Cohen said I cannot participate as I would have as a coing guttle even on my first day of work I can only eat the carbonos that are forever but the carbonos that are going to recur monthly I can't because I'm an onain so it restricts the the ability to eat kachchim even for coen and we expand that to um being relieved from positive commandments even fillin according to most until the burial is completed after which you move into a period known as shiva and shiva is what uh the rest of the day of uh tishab is like but only until noon. At noon, we rise up from Shiva and we are we are not continuing the morning at all. We still have the restrictions right of the day of tishabove but essentially we've gotten up from Shiva and Rabbi Salvation described it as what we've done is we've transformed the day much like Yum Kipper itself into two parts. the moade part of it, the destiny, the historical destiny of destruction that occurred in Tishb throughout our history. And people may may or may not realize the extent of it. It's an amazing thing and it's an amazing prophecy that that this would be a leos but only until noon. Okay. What happened on Tishbove historically? Everybody knows about the expulsion from Spain which was the destruction of a complete Torah community was uprooted completely and the rest had to go underground to become conversos. But there were many other tragedies that took place on Tishbub that we get up from today. Okay. Well, what happened on those days? For example, we know World War II began, World War I began on Tishab, which of course was the prelude to World War II and destruction of Jews. What people may not realize is that tishov was the day the first day of the extermination order that was signed by goring uh to createa uh concentration camp which would then gas the Jews to death as opposed to inefficient methods such as uh anat grouping which would shoot to death and so one and therefore tishabove as a moade meant it was a date in destiny that's what it was a date in destiny but destined to be a future holiday as we dealt with in the last year but let's move on the however something transforms dramatically at noon at noon it becomes not a moade of destruction but a yum tinus we actually start our fast it's actually kind of like a half a fast of chuva and then of course that's how the itself concluded and pointed to us in the itself there are many references to accepting personal responsibility for whatever we did wrong we can't uh understand Hashem's ways and his decisions about what he made for the common destiny of Kalai Israel but we can understand that we do have an obligation to do chuva to search our ways hasho We are looking for renewal and the renewal begins on the day of tish of itself. Now how can that be congruent with the torching and the burning that took place? Okay. So classic answer to that question is the kazal tell us that hashem took his wrath out on a building and this is the explanation of the attitude towards viewing the for example at the endos where he saw the and the kum of what it said in jackles used to be a lot of them in bish but then they built them out of existence I think they're probably still around but not too close anymore. A sign of utter destit destitute and uh destroyed uh situation where no human beings are even generally present. So the shualeim can walk freely. They call them foxes but I think that they're more like jackals officially as they explain. However, Rabika looked at it as a kum as a as as something positive. And he says, "Well, this Nvoua came true. That makes me believe in Nva. That reaffirms my faith in Hashem and in the prophets that these things are completely true. Yes, this is a moade. But there will become a time where we transform this day into a day of rejoicing. That transfer that transformation begins immediately in midday of tishab where we go to a point of of supplication and chuva. Now to to uh accentuate this point that's really my son's issue is that why don't we have like a afterlow of mourning that goes beyond tishabove. Well it's very very brief. It's very very brief and it's only in deference to the fact that the actual physical plant of the B did burn that day. But it's it's only a it's only a miktas. It's only a a reference to it but by the time we get to midday 24 hours later completely disappears. So what comes instead? Now in order to understand this I'm going to give a little preface. I'll credit my son for bringing this to my point. See we spent time together on the nit Gabrielle or by Gabriel Zenner who's written fabulous that incorporate a wide range of opinions including many of the postgame and minim he brings down at the end of his second volume a vort from the mag of the the famed mag who helped uh establish generations ofic leaders. He wrote a safer known asel and he said including including it seems part of they are all linked. Now we know is the joyous most joyous time of the year is really about the sim of of Yamto and particularly on on sukus where we have our in gathering of most of the crops and fruit and we move outside and we share our wealth and demonstrate to our neighbors and friends and even non-Jews the magnificent munificence of Hashem. So how does that have to do with tisha polar opposites but recognize that they're one unit we actually begin building on the very day of destruction the mentioned yesterday in the keynotes that we were able to do with my esteemed brother-in-law Rabbi Shra Gro of the Carbakul here in Mesh and and a famed educator uh and oh Israel he um mentioned the board of the laber rebi said an interesting thing and it was relevant especially for this year with tishab falls out fell out moes shabas after shabas he said that although tishabove it was a day of destruction however realize that it's not quite what it seems and what does that mean we know in the laws Shabas, you're not considered violating Shabas when you destroy something. That's not a that's not anything constructive except if you're so almanas linos if you destroy for example a structure in order to create a foundation to build something new that is a creative act and you violate chabas by doing it. What do you mean I'm destroying something? I didn't make anything. No, you did. You began the process of reconstruction. So tishabove by virtue of the destruction of the facility of the basa mikdash actually cleared its way spiritually and especially in the spiritual sense for the next iteration which is going to be much higher and much better and the the explained he said that's the concept of shabas of sooer ammanas linos anytime hashem destroys something or seems to be destroyed it's only to make it greater and better. With this we can have a context to loss both personal and communal in way of all the difficult suffering we have seen in the last couple of years but keep an eye open because I believe starting today and even there was a miracle on tishabove itself that happened I don't know if you paid attention but there was a great miracle that happened this tishabove okay as a sign of building a turn I think a turning point in a little direction that's very very positive for Israel for its relationship to Erit Israel and the nations of the world and the difficulties and atrocities of Gaza. So let's remember tishab is a day of building because it's ste for a Jew alas linos is building you break a cup under the because we always remember but the reality is that is a new beginning as you break that co and you remember you're saying my past is gone my previous entity and ideals don't are no longer relevant I'm now part of a new structure a much elevated structure I'm elev We have a partner, we have a friend, we have a vision, we have a where Hashem joins us in the process of bringing life to the world and continuing the mitzvos and kum of Yahadus and Amnisel. It's a different thing. It's strain lios. Now, what is the linos that we're talking about? So, back to the mag. The mag said as follows. He said if it's true that tishabove and all the way to sukus is one big escalator going up up up that's why I say get up that's the theme today get up get up from slumber get up from mourning more importantly get up from depression about what's happening around us and keep an eye for this more than silver lining but the prophetic lining of thinking that we may see immed okay I'm getting to the miracle don't worry hang in there hang in there I'm going to tell I'm going to tell you the mag and we'll go back to the miracle so the mag says how does that work there's a remedriousic figure kimro kodes Nissan adasaur leodes bow let's take for example that chunk of time between tishabove and sukus it contains right within within a year actually 10 going back to Nissan we had 10 days which represent the letter yud of the name alfal ny of hashem's name afterwards you have four days of checking the carbon pes which is the dollid Okay. So you have y and daled starting with pes and afterwards from the first day of pes until shabuis is 50. That's the number nonun right of of of nun yud. And then the first day of sukus is is uh first day of shabus excuse me is the olive. So it spells olive tal. Now if Schlommo Schmel of Nicholsburg observed that the time period between Nissan right and Shivuis spelled out the name Alfalad Nyud so came along Rabbi Gabriel Zenner and used the same formula on our situation on this time period from today the 10th of A when we get up 29 is Exactly 50 days. Scary. No. Uh Russash Shana is 50 days from now. By definition, we know that every counting in Judaism from the times of Pesak uh in the first years. We counted we count we count towards the completion a Jubilee year a completion a Yeshua a malus. Well, the mafus begins today on tent of a culminating inash. That's the nun of alfal nun y hashem's name. Okay. And then there's the first okay and then after that you have the chuva from rashana till yum kipper and that's a yud. So you have now and a yud and afterwards there are four days between yum kipper and sukus. Those are the days we have no sins, no averos. We're just cleansed from yum kiper. We're moving to the fabulous celebration of sukus. That's adaled. And then we have the first day of sukus which is o alf right the day the first day of sukus. And of course we know that sukus culminates in hosana followed by shimini ateres the very selfsame day that became desecrated just a couple years ago. It's going to be the second anniversary of October 7th, but called the Simas Torah, the Shabas Simhas Torah war, the war against Jewish holiness. And um literally a moch they did to us things that Amik did uh depraved um massacring uh removing removing body parts, genitals, throwing them uh saying that the kaduca of Israel was something that was open to be def openly defiled. So what so we must accept this reality that beginning today we're on a escalator that will take us all the way to sukus all the way through Torah. This links the getting up from morning today with the ultimate joy of culminating in simas to Torah. It's a straight shot going upwards upwards. And so what was the miracle that happened? I always look for the silver lining. There was a turning point that happened, two of them actually, that our enemies themselves expose themselves for who they really are to such a point that the nations of the world, specifically France and the and the members of the European Union representing Asov, Asav Mullik of our generation, supporting somehow Yeshua to in an attempt to combine fashion destroy the state of Israel which is what a Palestinian state means. Uh Palestine is can only exist in the vacuum of Israel. So what are they doing? They want to destroy Israel. When did they announce they're going to do this? When did they announce they're going to do this? In September. Precisely in the time period that we're speaking about as we build towards Sukus. Okay. Can anybody help me out here? What is the exact date of sukus in this upcoming calendar year? While you look that up, you could flash it on the screen or let me know. Sorry, I don't have my l in front of me. But I would not be surprised if the date that they're talking about about would culminate somewhere around Simka's Torah. Is anybody gonna check that out? Hold on. We can look it up ourselves. Okay. Sukus. What is it? October October 7 is day 1. Okay. So, they want to do it literally if that's October 7th. September is a week before that's coming out right in around Yam Kipper in between Rashan Yam Kipper maybe it'll get delayed you'll see but we already started the spiritual resistance against this right now so I'm going to tell so the two miracles were number one that as the nations of the world prepare themselves for the anti-caducia that they wish to impose upon us during our holiest period which is foolish of them because they are no match for us at that time of year with Hashem's help and with our archa that um they women from Kamas sent out messages identifying their goals with that of Hitler and Machimo to destroy the Jewish people in its entirety and all of a sudden France gets upset oh my goodness we reject this no way Palestinians are this what? You don't know what Palestinians are. You don't know what their objectives are. You're in a fantasy world that there's some sort of upstanding peaceloving people that have the right to form a nation according to your standards, but they don't even meet your standards. What are you doing? Oh my gosh, they don't meet our standards. It's embarrassingly clear to the world the evil which is Kamas, the Amalik of Kamas in our generation being supported by them primarily. And the second piece was when they kamas in their stupidity or in their evil and knowing they can get away with anything published the pictures of this nebak boy who is being starved forced to dig his own grave emaciated emotionally physically and mentally tortured. It's a miracle he's even alive to whatever extent he's alive. Can we just flash me the the name of that of that unfortunate individual whose pictures appeared on the front page of the New York Post on Tishab. Follow me on Tishab. It was broadcast to New York City and the capital of the world and across the news. the reality of what these people are and suddenly there's a shift suddenly the tone about even one nation already I think it was Croatia said that we cannot support the European Union declaration of a Palestinian state because this is what they represent that's a miracle a turning point okay so the progress towards MS from the world ultra ultra world of Sheckchair. And by the way, the world of Sheckchair is being exposed so rapidly. There was another article about a woman, a Palestinian, East Jerusalem resident who on her own, this was in in the major news channels in America, was arranged on her own relief for Gaza that was not meant to be stolen, abused, or sold on the black market. Israel helped her. They made a uh Evatar Ben Yasmin Gila. He should be the miracle of Tishab. He is the miracle of Tishab. Evatar, please continue to be the miracle. You'll hold on strong duros. And our concern will dedicate our stepbystep building of Malfus which reaches his apex on holiday of Sukus. That's why we read Cohelis. One of the reasons because Schlommo is the melo of the entire world teaching the entire world Torah. We bring 70 carbonos connected the 70 nations of the world to bring them to Chuva to bring them closer to Hashem at to that apexatar. You have the name of a cohane. You should be ready to serve in your spiritual capacity to inspire us and to show the miracles of Hashem and the great salvation from the realities of ghost. These are the realities of gullos. This is what the world supports. Okay. Now, so seeing that there was a number of miracles that created a a real shift in public opinion, so too in America itself in the last I would say since Roshesh a not in that long ago. Um this maybe the last week or two, two weeks have been the exposure of the depth of the evil scheming of the Democratic party to cheat, slander, calm against a winning president, President Trump, who had the vote of the people to try and destroy him with slander with essentially lush and horror, which of course is the primary aera associated with the nine days and tishab due to the of moraglin speaking evil about Israel speaking evil about other other Jews and more importantly speaking evil of Hashem the sin is oh son that hashem hates us shalom that's what it said they truly believe that hashem doesn't hate us hashem loves us okay if difficult things are happening there's a steer amas linos is trying to rebuild us in some sort of way to be greater and better than we ever were before. So, the media has finally been exposed and the politicians have been exposed by the American Justice Department as having created a clear hit job on President Trump, which is an abuse of every privilege of government and violating enormous laws and probably is an act of treason and halai. They should be held accountable. Halai. But the world now sees as just as the gazins have been revealed, the kamas has been revealed. And hashem, another miracle that Trump slaps sanctions on on the the pretenders, the good Palestinians of the West Bank, equal in their evil and their terror, except that they uh they they play the the game of slander and hatred and murder silently, not openly, and openly professing to be um legitimate spokesman for a group of people that has no indigenous claim or connection to the land. So that's shekeer, ultimate sheer. Everything about the word Palestine is sheer. It emanated from the from the Romans who called it Syria, named it after the pishim who never ever ruled the land except maybe Gaza. And this continues to go on and on. So as we march in this Kativa Aas in this time period that the Niel said based on the teaching of the Schmela of Nichollsburg right that as reported by the mag of Kajnit that we are blocked in we are moving forward towards Mus. It's a very encouraging thing and you understand that from what is being said what the implications could be in a positive sense. So we pray for the safety of all the hostages. We pray for their rescue. We pray for the destruction of the entire uh quote unquote Gaza Kamas community obliterated and the land taken over for resettlement by legitimate parties taken over by America to be handed over to Israel to resettle, reestablish and allow that that very very sad portion of Erit Israel to reloom and regain its luster and life because the only thing that these that the um the Gazins can do is bring destruction because Erat Israel will only welcome its partners, the Jewish people. Anybody else who comes it will spurn like a woman who's married and some villainous suitor comes to uh to capture her and take her there will be no cooperation on the hand by Arch Israel to the hands of these illegitimate uh suitors in in their in their matzov in their evil and in the fact that they were not chosen to be the partner of the land of Israel only Hashem chooses. Now there's one more very important point that it's very clear that part of the argument the world is saying against Israel is that well Israel is created by Britain through the British mandate and the Sykes Pico agreement which divided the land of the Ottoman Empire into two pieces France and Palestine. France went to the Jew the French took Syria and uh that area Lebanon and the and uh England after the World War I took Egypt and quote unquote mandatory Palestine and they think that the history of Israel started from then. We must say the truth that means the we speak about in the kinos right going back to the days of schlama going back to the days of Yeshua we need to say the truth and not be afraid to say the truth. The land of Israel is is belongs to us not because of the the the uh generousness of the nations. They had to cough it up, but Hashem wanted it extracted and they can't have it back and they can't claw it back. We must pray for the complete riddance of any vestigial um uh organization other than the state of Israel following the laws of Torah and the laws of AmIrael and loyal to amI Israel and all their entities should be removed. Okay, that's an important thing to say because that's what the mus we're looking for. That's the mus that we hope to gain. Okay, now I want to go to the first way station in this building of the mus which is from tishabove to to tuba tuba. We quickly move into what is considered one of the most happiest days of the year and it's compared to yam kippers. Notice it makes a lot of sense if you consider that the this time period really begins uh here in a culmin because it's not that there's two days that the Jewish people made. No, two random days that the Jewish people danced around and encouraged the continuity of the Jewish people that they should choose righteous wives, some beautiful wives, some prestigious wives, some wives, some just shamay wives. No, it was the beginning and end of a time period. Look, if you if you if you make the you can get married before sukus you go into sukus you're married the laws of suk speak about you know and what the responsibilities are to the was the point got to make so the next day or two you know two three days as you're preparing the and your your your preparing a suka you're preparing a okay same thing with ta with ta the was made to immediately to immed immediately during this time period consummate the marriage. It was bookends not two random dates. Okay, so that's the the the um five things that happened on on 15th of A. Let's go over it for a second because that's kind of earmarks what this period is all about. So the end of Tyus says Lazaro Omare. This is Rabbi Lazar the student of um of Rebaka, excuse me, the Rebaka, one of the five five great students of Zach, right? And he said, And it was called says it was safe and they say you will be tore it's a negative connotation here. Something bad will happen unless you rise to the occasion. You have to rise to the occasion sir starting with the onset of the 15th above. We are obligated to ramp up our game because the enemies of the Jewish people are losing strength. This is what we're looking for. We're looking for the enemies of the Jewish people wish to cut us down with their axes literally and figuratively. They're going to get weak, progressively weaker as we move from today through the 15th of Ab, which is just five days away. And from then, that's it. It's our time. We are ascendant. Israel is ascendant at this period of time. Mosy if you have to be as it says here um in the name of Bazar that says that you have to be Mos Ysef we have to add we have to actually rebuild ourselves you know mouthless begins with each individual Jew so every Jew is a little broken today and we're all PTSD whatever EMF E ABCG from all the trauma that we have witnessed in the last couple years and throughout the years and what we see around us the march the the incessant march of the most virilent hatred of Israel because of what they've done what we've done to Gaza now the world is getting a dose in its face of what Gaza has done to the Jewish people and they're going to have to swallow hard on it a bitter coat And that bitter coast is going to choke them. Now it's already started to choke them much as the people in America, the the the quote unquote deep state America are going to have to drink a bitter cup of justice. And now it's going to become clearer and clearer as Hashem has made a decision to create a powerful movement forward of MS which is going to have to overcome the incredible den of den using the word den of in English and Hebrew of of sheer and accusations and lash har and motra that's going on towards ka Israel. So we ought to rebuild ourselves, our confidence, our strength, our correctness, our ability to speak the truth, to say the truth, say the truth about ourselves, to speak to Hashem truthfully and say, "I need uh I need to be Moses. I I I could be a little stronger in this area, a little less time on the phone, a little less time, maybe a lot less time, less time, you know, in trivial matters and getting in my head that I I I I need to make this a a not a stomach growth period. The summer is a period we say, "Well, I'm on vacation." And we lower our standards and we might travel around and do things that we say, "Well, I would never do that, but I, you know, you know, I'm not going to travel and miss dominating, you know, but oh, no, but I have to go to the forest now. I have to go notice. I have to go do travels now. I got to go to wherever it might be. Even if there's no Jewish community there and even if there's not really a haisha atmosphere, there's no B madish over there, there's no man there, you know, people are pretty good about it these days, especially in Israel. But, you know, it's not the time to relax is what I'm trying to say. It's the it's it's the time to rebuild. You can relax before, you know, after Shabus, but you that's better time maybe not even then. But you got to realize that we must build. We must rebuild ourselves. Whatever is bothering you healthwise, try to rebuild. Worrying wise, try to rebuild. Honesty wise, rebuild. Relationship wise, try to build. Build a little bit. Strengthen. Restore the mus. Because when your yates are to has control over you, that's the correct king. When the eight ra has control over you and you're kind of doing whatever it kicks you to do, then you're you're you're a slave. You're not a king. So we have to remember to be be m ourselves, bring out our most regal selves in this time period, which means add a little Torah. It says in the Gumar, add a little Torah, add a little extra extra mitzvos, build a little bit the connection with Hashem and with others. This is what this time period is. The Kativa Shamus starts today. But go back to Tuba for a moment. What were the uh five events that actually took place on Tuba? So the says [Music] in okay we know it was a day of tremendous we got the we were forgiven by hem it's a pinnacle moment of cha and re and and reunification and after all between Hashem and the Jewish people there was disruption to the because of theel now the is restored is restored So it's a great day to make why is that a day for why is a day for there was a restriction um between um because of Benos who desired their portion init their father but their tribe was jealous and said you can't marry out of the tribe because then then that tribe will inherit you perhaps and then that piece of land goes out of our tribe. So, but there was a head there on Tuba, not to be petty like that, but let Cli Israel quote unquote marry freely within each other. Wherever the wherever the inheritance goes, it'll go. The point is is that we welcome with open arms connections and connectivity to the entire call Israel and not stay parochial. And that has a lot of implications for today. A lot and lot of serious implications for today. What does it mean to go out of your group comfort zone? What does it mean to begin to understand people that are not like you? Isn't that the whole problem that we have today? The different camps in Israel, the right and left. I saw a message from the Anuka today. He says there's no left and there's no right. There's just Jews. Babe used to say, used to hate any labels placed on Jews. We're just Jews. We come from different opinions. We're tough people. We're uh not easy. And uh we remain and that's a good thing if used properly but the shouldn't be against us. It should be against the outside world. So that was number one. Theatim can marry. We don't worry about losing property to another or not. It's okay. Let that other sh have a win once in a while and take the heat and the pressure off each other and certainly the hatred. So that was number one. where Yoseph said the the tribe of Beyammen was reconstituted. What does that mean? There was a horrible sin known as Pleeshbiva in which the men of Binyamin mutilated and raped repeatedly a concubine of a man who then came to and she she literally died from her abuse and and he notified all the nations shockingly by sending her limbs piece by piece across and say this is what happened. And there was such moral outrage that they wanted to destroy the entire shave of binyamin. And there was a war bin. One of the first wars was a whole story in Na'vi. And the end of it was is that 400 binyaminites rem remained and they were allowed to remarry. They could take women. It was much like a tuba day or we say used to call it in America Sadi Hawkins day in reverse that the man could choose any bride that he wanted and we recon reconstituted the as it says in they said we're going to we're going to get rid of for their crimes. All right. And afterwards they were readmitted. And then of course the famous story of the last 15,000 of the Jews who were supposed to die, give their lives on the final tishabs and they survived because the entire generation of the midbar 63,000 were meant to die in the midbar. And although Tossus has different calculations, it might have been 21,000 each year. Some some say they didn't die when Shabas came out on Tish when Tishb came out on Shabas which is very profound. Shows you how Shabas cancels Tishabove. We spoke about that because of the dual nature of the Moade. Um but um so it came out that there were only certain amount of years that that they would actually die on Tishbug that could dig their graves because it wasn't Chabas and so on. And this last group lived and and the and and this was the day was Tab. And how could that be? It says in Bash right who right? So that was that was the uh that was the message that they were all gone. Were they all gone? So says Rashi, go out and dig your graves. All of them. And he slept in the All right. So he'll be in a ready grave. If you were alive, you were alive because they didn't die in one year. They said, "We're all alive until they reach the full moon of of and Yum. So what does that mean? Why did it why was it that they survived? What did they do to survive? Well, turns out that actually tishabove was the day of the reprieve. The day they were supposed to die, they lived that night and it continued now. 10th of Aab, 11th of Aab, 12th of Aab etc. until we got to tub. But what was their great merit? So this is where the tossus is there's a rashbam and per and bababasra makes a of how many were supposed to die. But those people were blessed with life because ultimately tishb has a of bignan to it. Maybe that's the profound shot here. Very profound shot. It's impossible for tishov to be a complete destruction. It's always and if it's so then it's not. It has to be a sovenos. Those that needed to perish perished. But then there were those who could be part of the new foundation that could be rec reclaimed that could be redeemed and for whatever merits they had. I thought maybe because they knew that they were supposed to die and they surrendered themselves to Hashem so fully for those five days that Hashem said because in previous years they had at least a 50/50 chance to survive. here they had no chance and they willingly sacrificed their lives and they therefore when they made a kdishem they were given life. Okay. But it could also just be because a remnant uh had tishab had a redemptive quality. It has that midday quality and mid yudday quality that it has to be part of the rebuilding. Fantastic idea. So what are the themes? And of course they stopped bringing trees and we said before because the we put away the the hatchet the hatchet jobs are put away today they can't cut trees for the base of mikdash because it's already going to get into the moist season is going to be entering to a period of more precipitation tal whatever and therefore we don't have the dry dry wood that we need for the basics could get warmmy and it can get pled that way so we put away the put away the axe so you see that the events of tuba were the events of rebuilding number one that the tribes were were able to reconnect with each other. That's a tremendous tremendous thing. Bos the no restriction to marry within tribe was lifted unity. Second, we reclaimed into the tribes. Do you know that binyamin is the gateway to I've told you about cavery that's recently been renovated and restored. It's called Pitka or Pitka Dearta. It's the gateway to Jerusalem. The gateway Jerusalem has been restored. It's an amazing thing. We can't do that without Pyamin. Pyam was brought back. It was a building a piece of aa mikdash and um and allowing the there was also a in the final days of musel to go north to south to the bas mikdash where there was restrictions from the north to the south. Right? The quote unquote secular Israel. Israel and Yehuda were separated as they unfortunately appear to be today. But there was a release. There was an opening and everybody could come together and rally around you. So these are the days of reconciliation. These are the days of repair and it's a we're moving forward and I I promise you keep an eye open because there's a turning point that we witnessed on tuba that the speaks about speak about the Reb speak about it and uh from here should only go upwards upwards upwards until a joyous this year we don't know what the events will hold but we are hopeful and we are as long as we move towards is rebuilding and strengthening ourselves and unifying ourselves with Torah mitzvah. Thank you. Have a wonderful week. [Applause] You see your sh my
