uh the last paragraph of this uh kina which we just read said those words tyra tyra king is wear gird yourself in sackcloth be lower to the dust and look look at what it says for those who ripped your oars and spread your nets sailors and mariners on mighty waters those who arranged your arrangements and straightened straight in that which was twisted uncovered your secrets revealed your mysteries who will level the hills who will you down the mountains who will solve the puzzles who will repair the breaches the cry is a cry over the tamir the people who study torah who were lost and the great lost tisha b is also mourning over the loss of the tyrant we're going to say soon akina about the torah burned by the fire car clothes of course of sife tyra burnt by the fires the lack of the loss of the world of scholarship of tyra and what that brought back and of course going way back before and beyond the corban of europe we think about the destruction of the bait the word of hashem is to come forth to us from yerushalayim the ramban writes in his introduction to parshas truma that the building of the mishkan was to create a permanent parsina there should be a permanent harshini our sinai was a place in the midst of the jewish people where hashem's presence came down with cloud and fire and where hashem communicated his word and that's what the mishkan would be it would be a place with hashem's cloud and his fire in the midst of the jewish people where hashem would come and speak eventually proven between the two cherubic images moshe would go and get the word of hashem and while we didn't have that level of communication after mashraf but the whole there's a reason why the sanhedrin's seat why the supreme court seat was in the base amiga there's a reason why certain halakhas which are of the highest stakes can only be passed in when the sages were there in the sagas to be in the presence of hashem you're able to hear the words of his torah more clearly a prophecy and you know that we have a strange prohibition on tisha buff and what's that it's also to learn tired it's forbidden to learn torah other than tish above related materials you can't learn taiwan you have to feel the lack of everything ain't won it's the holy city and its environment it's all destroyed its treasures are buried all we have left is the torah tishbo is not the day to focus on what we have left it's to focus on what we're missing they'll tell us something else they tell us that you can't study tyra on tish above because bring joy to the heart torah is a joy producing enterprise the study of time so tisha baby not supposed to have that kind of joy so you can't study tyranitar so let's talk a little bit about the other great love that the pun of giraffe had yeah he loved holly israel he loved every every easter egg he loved the torah not just the institutions that he built he loved the torah he loved the torah he was my surname he in a certain sense to some that we may even have sacrificed partially that love to build those institutions i could just mention something just almost like finish the thought from before you know what he used to say beautiful gorgeous gorgeous thing he said a jew yearns for mashiach you know why a jew yearns for moshiach why do we learn from he says it's it's all over the tomorrow why we yearn for mashiach one word the gemara says in many different places what is it you know that word the gomorrah has a question no resolution to the question can't figure out what's that what's the result so what does it say take what does taku mean simply it means okay stand you know stop the discussions go on to the next thing but everybody knows i remember it took me probably 20 years of learning tomorrow to learn that the simple meaning of taking was stop with the question and go on because when i was a kairi yingle in fifth grade and i learned bhavamitsiya and there's a taiku all right it's the first in in of kumara that typically a young child learns the beginning of the second paragraph there's a question of of kabayan the shemena amaze etc and the word says and my fifth grade review like like like like all children's review says take who stands for tishb the tishbe which is a name for eleonova will resolve for us all our outstanding questions so you ask the question they'll answer elio blanson says them said the bible is that's what we're waiting for to clarify the territories of those vitamins that's what we're waiting for we're waiting to know more about what hashem says he had such a love for tyra he had such a passionate love for tyra the puna vision of now people like to say about people who's who are whatever this he's really was a guy in ireland he really was a brilliant scholar just part of his rev we don't have swarm from him there are a few volumes of swarm uh which collect things which he said four volumes of thin volumes which were published you know relatively recently and there are collections with his you know some of his speech kind of but he was a guy in learning he was going and learning he he was he learned for three years by the prophet saying you know who was they learned non-stop now you say oh they learn non-stop i've heard that before they learned non-stop well first of all you know so the fundamental cover mom so to speak you know you know there it's rare to find a picture of him not looking like the whole world was a very very very intensely serious person i mean beautiful pictures of him smiling but but but it's not the standard problem was married was single when they were there one day they were learning telegram the telegram informed him that his wife just had a baby boy she was in a different city he had come to raven to learn and she said the telegram to affirm that he had a son so he made a bracha and he went back to work so i'm sorry i said that they learned non-stop i exaggerated he stopped for the telegram he was a going island again he was a little kid he he entered tells he stole people remember him considering who remembered him he was the he was the rockstar he was the the excuse nation of settings the brilliant brilliant and he spent years running around building how do you do it or see short remember rocky hiller told me that he met the panama israel once he was learning in chicago and it tells you in chicago in front of israel came a few boys were standing outside looking at a new safer that had come out and an old man with a white beard comes up to them now whatever just goes washing his hands and he says you learned tighter the whole day because i bought the whole day he was in love with the torah he would travel the world he would come back to panavish eleven o'clock twelve o'clock at night the panama's basement was was was alive all hours and he would wouldn't stop going through these meadows see what the guys were learning start talking to them and learning wherever they were he loved the torah he would stop in the middle of a sheer and he would exclaim i breathe this is the tyre how sweet the title is you just exclaim listen to his sweetness he gave us moves in yeshiva's panavish i'm sure he said tonight we're going to stay up and learn why do we stop and learn so we know what's the reasons why they stay up eventually this night because on the morning of mountain israel slept late who got there first said the ponyville and this is like this is his whole mathias is in this word it's so beautiful it's his personality and his attitude and his passion he says how could it be he says only one way that that happened and that was because they didn't get the torah yet once they got the torah there's no way they would have slept late it's only because they didn't know what it was yet that they could possibly see someone someone like us said the punisher who's sweet who tasted the knife is tsufim misuki who tasted that after which is sweeter than that you i can't go couldn't sleep that's delicious clever but expresses the passion again he came by honestly his father was a businessman in fact uh yeah his father was a businessman that he said once he he had a son his one son who ran the yeshiva and helped him in the realm of the issue of around yeshua after his passing and helped him running the issue from kahneman who was once helping finish negotiate a deal while economist didn't like the way he negotiated the deal so he said he says i know how to negotiate since my father was a businessman he does not negotiate his father's russian shoe so so his father was a businessman but listen to this businessman he has some copies even printed in a beautiful safe on the photoshop of the letters his father taught him the following thing this is the way so what does that mean so simply what it says is where you understand it is you know if you want to have tyra you have to put away everything else that's what the rabbi writes a person who thinks that they're going to have tyra and will be pleasures they're not going to have the crown of time they'll have some time but they're not going to have the craft to have the crown i'll tell you have to be single-minded review delayed the father of the punisher of said no this is what the michigan means this is the way of tyra bread with salt water and measure sleeping on the ground bare necessities those aren't like luxuries those are like bare necessities bread water the ground to sleep on bare necessities well my play routes all know toilet torah it's the same thing it's not an extra you have to view it as vital to life itself just like bread water sleep basically not sealy posturepedic he used to say on the first day hashem said let there be light on the fourth day he created the sun and the moon and the stars that provide life it's a big complicated problem more discussion because i'll discuss it so we know that one of the resolutions is that the title the light that was created on the first day wasn't this kind of light light was created on the first day was spiritual light what's sometimes called the light that had to be in the way or what i also call torah or the light that was in the torah after all the matter says that it says or five times on the first day of creation because it corresponds to the five books of the thyroid said the point of vision the world was created the first thing the world needed was tyrant it could wait till wednesday for the lights to go on the practical lights that get you to do things that can wait it can't wait the torah is needed right away a sense of the vital the first need of mankind what tyra does how tara shapes a person listen to this beautiful translation it's it's a translation it's not a word restore us our father to your torah bring us close our king to your worship you worship the king but the torah you learn from whom from your father because you look like your father when you learn torah you get to resemble the revenues beautiful beautiful how do you know that your children are called because it your children to says are your children to hashem because your biological children to lashes because he created you no that wouldn't be just the jewish people it's only the jewish people are kalash and children because he taught us many people asked upon of israel why he didn't writes for him he was brilliant and he said say fairy tales the pastor says this is the book of the offspring of man he says my swarm are those kids i'm creating people paul creates foreign i'll tell you i remember hearing that when i first came to baltimore mary israel the same story of rudiments he wrote a statement he was very young brilliant brilliant safer never wrote another another saver never wrote another savior people asked him why did he stop writing score and he said i stopped writing sport because i started creating tell me then bill writes for it the exponential production of swarm will be much greater upon said that his guiding principle was what he learned from even as a teacher of tyra even as a rabbi a teacher of star you always have to think what's going to be the greatest yield for claude shaming for the honorable it's not about your learning it's about making sure that more tyra has learned that tara grows bigger and better than before that's your task and so he fulfilled something else he fulfilled the mitzvah the eraser of the after hashem you should love hashem with all your heart again when you ever say a lot it means something which you have intense feelings towards so it's basically what it's saying is with everything that's very dear to you for many people that's their possessions right whatever is near to you whatever is precious to you so give it up your life your argument your possessions i'm worried your last year said it's his own son-in-law he said what's the most precious thing to you you're learning you have to be myself you have to give up on your learning you have a yeshiva you have to tell me them to grow give up on you what's most precious to you and upon a israel he gave it up he did something which few people would be brave enough to do he stalked panuvish with the greatest marbiet say torah he wasn't insecure oh he would come he would say have the most the most the most he was a great darshan great teacher he brought in rav destler he heard about this person in england he brought him in to be the masjid teach to teach a whole new way lifting up people through through tyra what would capture their hearts in that side competition what are you talking about the goal is to make tyra bigger tyra is this he the sweetness of tyre for him was everything one of his greatest projects was the archekala the puna kala the panama was a period of weeks in the summer time venusmana when people would come to ponevish to learn people who weren't telling me to yeshua weren't even necessarily alumni of the of the yeshiva they would come to learn it still goes on to this day i believe i mean when i was once so in summer i think they still have i was once at the bottom of your actually come the big event uh so many years ago i was there but i i assume it still goes on i don't know uh he loved it why because he says look all these people laborers they have a little vacation in the summer and what are they doing they're coming to learn you know what that says you know what that says about their love of tyre it was for him like the huge the greatest knackers in the world when he was in israel in 1935. he was walking in tel aviv his mother as i mentioned he was in tel aviv and he walks in and there are 40 people sitting around laborers wearing the clothing of laborers and they're learning daffy me and the shirt and he's sitting with them he joins they come in i wanna just he just wanted to sit with him and learn and hear after he finished sitting with them he uh asked a few questions are they the laborers they were labor unions were they religious people unfortunately they didn't get favorite status in the labor union of the 40 of them four of them had work for tomorrow for the next day he was amazed and they came at night and they're sitting and learning they were sitting there and he said and he was full of these brilliant things clips which is they it was equipped from the outfits from the abarbanel right so many of you are familiar with that expression from the gemara whereas a question on a mishna something something seems off contradiction something is missing and this is the way you should learn it which is like almost like an amendment to the text that barbanel commented on people who had nothing and they learned anyway he says they're missing so much and look how they learn and he said that about these people he gave him the greatest of his he said my son heard the same schmooze from his review with the same genuineness for bashar areally because you know the rush lived in the most miserable times persecution lived terrible terrible things that were going on they were the ones who had these discussions about slaughtering their children because they were being converted to christianity could you tell valentine's just wrote about what's happening is the more involvement see what's shot in this contradiction between euvomas and conducion they have always going around around them and all they were involved in was trying to understand the word word of hashem god for the tyrant their whole world was the torah right that song which we sing watch my children they forget their own anguish and they just engage in my joy was a frequent frequent speaker at siumi you just know it because so many of his tyrants are attributed to things he said at ceon and what did he say to him listen to the delicious thing which he said how do you say yes many different things the simple thing is i turn back to you and you turn back to me i'm saying goodbye but i'm not saying goodbye i'm saying for whatever i'm taking leave but i'm not saying goodbye and the town of he said he remembers that train ride where he went to the train station in pani village on the 28th of adersheim and he was leaving and what a time it was and his family was there to say goodbye and his tommy were there to say goodbye hoping to see him again but being fearful and knowing that they might not see him again he says they turned around no they didn't turn around the train left he was at the back of the station and he was looking at them waiting for them and they until the train was out of sight they just kept their eye on it they couldn't look away he said that's what you say when you finish your book with the torah i turn to you you turn to me can't turn back on each other such a thing called loving tyra you know we started with her yakiva there's a famous gemara whenever it says means to include something else but who should you fear besides god so shimano sunni sunni who had this theory that it was always to add something they gave up they said there's nothing you should fear other than god so we must be wrong until rabbi came and he talked yes and it says but when you come up against someone you come up to someone with this kind of a of a passion that's that's it the panavision rov was driven by a desire to rebuild calling israel to catch the letters the letters that had flown off to see a rebuilding of tyrant the jewish people thai tyrus precious he was completely completely enraptured with its sweetness that's why we can't go to thailand let's pause for a moment and think again about it the mitzvah you can't do anticipate there's no such thing as a mitzvah in canton it's the joy it's joy it's pure joy it's pure sweetness can you relate if you can't relate then maybe that's one of the tishoba resolutions to make yourself relate how do you make yourself feel right very simple excuse me for saying this i don't mean to sound uh preachy or condescending it's very it's very simple there's a formula for it it's explicit in the gamora it's the first plus i can tell it second possible fortune is the person who doesn't walk in the past of the wicked but in the torah of hashem this desire don't there is a standard curriculum you have to learn things according to there's certain things that you have to know but you have to learn torah ella the icar of your learning is going to be where you're interested the hare what did you say this morning every morning hashem make the torah sweet in our mouths and in the mouths of our children and in the mouths of all of the children of the jewish people you have to be sweet you're gonna force it to be sweet every single person every single one of us has an interest in an area of learning it's not necessarily the same what one person is interested in another person isn't what one person gets ishmak from gets satisfaction from another person doesn't what you're interested in today is not what you were interested in yesterday and it's not what you're going to be interested in tomorrow but you have to learn with a haitian how could it be the tarot tells you don't learn tishba it's [Music] we say where else do we say by the way let's see it it's part of those creators of nashville king russia make sweet the words of the torah in the mountains of all our children we and our children and the pandavas used to say it's you know grandfathers would be learning with their children with their grandchildren and they would say this we and our children and our children's children we should continue to learn torah it says the black gumara the page of gomorrah's would be the plank for the bridge that united the generations and he would say this wistfully and hopefully and passionately that tyra would be restored to its place to bring together the jewish people to bring together the generations we spoke before about his love for children we spoke now about his love for tyra put those two together and it was it was uh it was off the charts you know you'll hear i think one of the stories which is told in the in the in the video about the point of visit his love for children will learn his love for seeing children learn says the story is that foreign in panivish a little young student from the office came and asked the question to him and um just he was out of his kingdom he was so excited he went knocked on the door do you hear what he just asked me you already just asked me the love of jews the love of tyra the love of knowing that those two are supposed to be one of the same israel by rice on the coach he drove him it drove him we drove him to to do what he did we should find for ourselves a sweetness entire a love of terror to be passionate be passionate about other jews to be passionate about tyra to see it build to see it grow i'm going to say the one king of shaoli for the age which it's found it's found on page 81 it's kind of number 41 page 81 8081 in the in the hanazi this again was akina by the marami ruttenberg who was who was the teacher of the rush who who um there was the burning of the many particles of the gemara in this day he uh he he made this canon so you
