ה' אב - The Yahrtzeit of the Arizal, Rav Yitzchak Luria; Thoughts on Tisha B'Av

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com above welcome everyone today the fifth day of is a very special day in the jewish calendar today is the yard side of the arizona i want to thank my son yehuda gladstein for reminding me that just to say something about the yard side of the arizal we like to say every year that the baneshkai actually compiled an entire tikkun just for hey av so we have a tikkun that consists of over 300 pages of various filos to say that alone shows us and demonstrates the significance of this date so even if we don't have the opportunity to go through the whole ticon it begins with uh a recitation of chuva that on this occasion once you take advantage of the opportunity to repent and to say vidoy and to express amuna in and in the torah of moisha and in the torah shabbat and then there is a collection of statements from the mishnah from the gemara from the zaire but that alone the fact that the banishka composed an entire tikkun to say which could take many many hours shows that potter boy one cannot just let the day go by without being completely exempt now it's very interesting because the month of aav these days around the art set of the arizon are days that are the yard sights of many of the great makubalam dalit of is the yard site of the ramami pano one of the greatest mikhubalim the tamara we saw saruk and ataman the third day of is the art site of rabsham shin mayash chapali and interestingly the second day of is also the yard side of a great macabre who lived in our generation rav shroya devlitsky who i had so this is man of the sunnah is really a laden with the art says of great mikhobelem perhaps it's because desire teaches us that when the knowledge of the kabbalah will become widespread we've again the zayar says in paris so this is the time then the cobalam so to speak our nifter now vouchsafing ensuring that this time of the year will ultimately be transformed into this man of yeshua just to share two thoughts the arizal is recorded in the shah kavanaugh's that a very significant question is why is it that we have this strange custom on tishwa that already adds we get off the floor and we say sukham of nahama and we no longer sit on the floor why adaraba the gemara in this tells us that the majority of the burnt down only toward the end of the day they set fire to the hell at the end of the day and it burnt on the tenth if anything towards the end of the day of the ninth should be the most intense time of abella's why do we then get off the floor and arizona explained based on is it a happy song that the game entered to it's a lamentation and arizona explained that first the came and they murdered jews and it seemed like there would be no hope for the people until the set fire to the base of mikdash and hashem vented his anger and that gave hope and a future for the jewish people to survive and therefore had the revolution not destroyed the base of mikdash it would have come at the expense of the future of claude israel and therefore even though it is a very tragic moment nevertheless there is a certain simcha in that hashem destroyed the temple to preserve the jewish people furthermore that rizal said since minha time and tish above meshiach is born therefore already the aveilus lifts and we get off the ground these are the thoughts of the arizal on his yard side and one more idea brought in like torah and miguel on the passage i believe in paraguay and that rizal taught a great secret that when the jew presents to the oppressor his cheek and the jew says hit me fine hit me you want to hit me here i'm ready i'm available hit me so the oppressor will satiate their thirst to assault the jew from the fact that the jew is suffering the indignity of presenting their cheek to the oppressor and they will be satisfied with that and then they will say they'll back off they won't even need to oppress the jew so so to speak it's sort of a loophole by suffering the indignity of presenting the cheek the oppressor will back off and not strike the jew ye present the cheek to the to the oppressor oola yeshtikvah perhaps there is hope so we hope it is of commemorating the alcohol israel on him you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
