Why do we have aut Why do we mourn the
beta mikdash? It was so many years ago.
So I'll say one lesson. The answer is by
us mourning for the beta mdash by us
following this of not having meat and
chicken of not purchasing things after
as long as we stick to the
reminds us that really the situation
that we're in right now is not normal.
The worst thing possible for a person to
do is to compromise in their life and to
think it's normal to live not normal. Us
the Yehoudim don't belong where we are.
We belong in
with the beta mdash. We belong with me.
And just because we here for so long and
we're pretty comfortable in America and
Hashem should give them only to stay
normal. We'll see what happens. But even
though we're comfortable, we're not
allowed to
forget really where we belong and that's
and he says over here the spir say for a
person to forget and to compromise on
really where they're supposed to be he
says over there
when a person says you know what forget
this beta mikdash thing forget this
thing just get over it we're going to be
here we're not going back the midash
we're not rebuilt
the worst tragedy.
You know what a tragedy is? When a Jew
says, "You know what? Forget this thing.
It's not happening." When a person
settles for less. When a person is able
to tell himself, it's over. We're not
going back to giving up on really where
we're supposed to be is the worst
tragedy possible. And by the way, this
applies also to an individual in his
life. A person should know as long as
you're alive and as long as Hashem gives
you life, that means you have a chance
to grow and get close to Hashem that
day. And for a person to settle less for
themselves and say, you know what, I'm a
sinner. I'm not going to be that type of
guy that'll be at Sadik. I'm giving up
when it comes to this thing that I have
to work on. I'm giving up. I'm learning
more. I'm giving up on keeping Shabbat.
I'm just going to compromise on my life.
You know what the worst thing possible
is? When you compromise on yourself. Cuz
if Hashem believes in us, if Hashem
gives us life, we cannot compromise or
settle for less for ourselves because
Hashem knows what we're capable of. So
why do we mourn? Why do we not eat meat
and chicken? Why do we not go shopping
and then we fast for the Why do we do
all this? Because we cannot forget
really where we belong. And we have to
remind ourselves and snap into reality.
The days that we're holding are days we
have to snap into reality. Wake up. We
don't belong where we are. We're
supposed to have the beta mikdash and we
cannot allow ourselves to think it's
normal to live not normal inside
America. We don't belong here. We belong
in is so that's why it's important to
follow these. It makes a very big
difference because it shakes us up and
it shakes up the Jews around us for
generations that comes and our children
the we don't belong here. And once God
forbid a person stops following the you
know what's going to happen? It's going
to become a normal thing not to want the
bet to be rebuilt. And that's the last
thing that we want because any moment
it's not a matter of if the bet should
be rebuilt. It's a matter of when is the
bet going to rebuild. It's a matter of
when. It's a reality. It's going to
happen. The question is when it can
happen in any moment. It's not just some
theory. The bet one day will be rebuilt.
It's something that's supposed to happen
at any moment. It's an emergency. It's
breaking news that the beth can be
rebuilt at any moment. It's a reality.
It's not a matter of if. It's a matter
of when. So the reason why we mourn for
the beta mikdash is to remind ourselves
of this reality that we don't belong
here. We belong in Shalim. We belong
with the beta mikdash with Mel Mashiach.
