Tisha B'Av: The Saddest Moment In Jewish History - The Liberation of the Kosel

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay um so it's era of tish above and it's even brought in halacha that one is considered recommended to only learn now those topics that are relevant to corbin it's not quite like tish above day but nevertheless [Music] that were that the reason for the restriction on learning during this time is because something that a person learns stays in their mind in the evening and one may come to think about it in the evening so uh we are in the middle of the safer target vira but for at this moment at this time just want to share with you a thought about the corbin that occurred to me this morning we know that one of the great lovers of eritsu israel and one of the great heroes of our people of the last century was the kleisenberg arba for the first time my life had the privilege to go to his cover this uh this past winter and my grandfather's august unsigned met the rebbe in the dp camps and was very close with the rebbe and the kluisenberg very much changed his uh shita and his ashkafa toward our israel and we spoke about this last year and the cloisonne bagareba very much felt that people should make every effort to go and live in our tutorial and he was once asked by one of his talmidim whether they should make aliyah and move and the rubber responded just come and once you come and you get there you'll see you'll inherit the land just like claudius were macabre the torah without question they said nasa vanishment arts israel needs the same type of thing he would even point out that when yoshobinun conquered eretz israel he had to first conquer the king of khajban malach khajban which indicates that to go to earth israel one should not make hezbo note should not make his boy noise but there's an interesting story and how the rebel would see uh almost what nobody else would see in 1967 uh when the old city was liberated and yiddin were now able to come for the first time to the meccano sakadoshim to the uh kaiser maravi in fact my mother just told me that in 19 1968 the that she was at the kaislama ravi on tishabhav in the very next year she went with her family and the rebbe spoke that year the night of slichais and they're actually still recordings of this drasha you could hear it the very moving drasha and the rebbe said that the return of the jewish people to the kaiser hamaravi in 1967 was literally one of the most painful moments in jewish history painful moments one would have thought this would have been one of the most exhilarating moments in in jewish history now look how the rebels saw it he gave the following mashallah there was a son of the king who was behaved so debased and was so despicable that the father had no choice but to banish the kid from the palace and after many years the sun is wallowing and languishing and full of sorrow the father sends word kid come back so the kid comes back and the guards say stop right here and they stop the kid at some ruin a distance from the palace and they say kid you could go no further and the kid said but i want to go in my father's house i want to see my father and the guard said no he doesn't want to see you said the kluisenberg arba yes we have access to earth's israel yes the land is liberated but how do you think we should feel when when the tata says okay you could come back but stop right there by the wall of the mountain you can't even go near the house you know the kaiser hamaravi is not a wall of the mikhtash it's the retaining wall of the harabayas says the the kleisenberg arabah in a way it is so painful that the father is opening up the land but he's not allowing us to see him and to an extent he's not ready to see us what a painful moment but it was very poignant for me and perhaps we could add a positive spin to this when i saw this morning on the last passage the second to last pasta god bring us back to you hashem and we will return return us to you and we will return to you renew our days like yesteryear there is a anomaly in this passage there is a sikh in the passage after the words hashivainu hashem there is a line api the tarshiva messiah there's upsick says first we will return a little bit and then god return us completely that's why there's up sick because when god brings us back there will be a stop there will be a pause first there will be a partial return and then it will be a complete return says roy kayak hamashal to the son of a king who rebels against the father and after a certain amount of time they reconcile so the son can't go immediately to the father if the father the son of the king gets into a disagreement with the father the son of the king can return immediately first he returns a little bit and then he returns fully where do we find this says at first when absolutely came back at first i've shown will not be able to see the father of the father and only then of shalom returns so so we could say yes the moment of our return to the kaisala marabhi was a very painful moment but perhaps we could understand it in the context of it has to be this way it's not that hashem is saying i don't want to see you it's that there's no other way to reconcile it cannot happen all at once so when we recognize that even this pause in the reconciliation is predicted in the navi where is it predicted with the sick so now we can anticipate we know ribanus hashem you brought us back a little bit being able to stand at the kaisel is epic something f is it's something being able to go to israel is something but we recognize that we're missing the main thing and that is the the return of the srinagar i once heard that rebel yahshua when he was he wasn't sure but he said with great deliberation the following words these words he gave the most emphasis on baruch hashem so we should be so to speak get past the sick of the penultimate passage of icha get set get past that pause between hashem and elecha we should be to the elahh i'm wishing everyone an easy tightness tomorrow morning if anybody wants to log in guinness will start about 9 45. there's a shirt at 2 o'clock there's a show our habura that usually gets together at 5. we'll be together tomorrow 5 30 and then again 805 for those who are still able have an easy tightness and uh should be so excited to be in your basement call top everyone be well
