Trying To Feel Asara B’Teves | Rabbi Shlomo Landau

oh yeah yeah [Music] we have to feel something today how can we understand what's the perspective that will make us feel a little bit of horrible and how can we make the fast the fact that we're not eating somewhat meaningful so it's an incredible story with the Mesa richer maggot a fellow once approached him as a Richard maggot and he said to me I don't understand something you live in abject poverty the rabbi used to eat crusts of bread that's all he could afford and water he says yet there's so many people that are so much less holy than you and they live in opulence and extravagance and they eat these beautiful meals it's just not right it's not fair and the MS Richard maggot said I'd like to share with you a story he says there was a fabulously wealthy fellow whose daughter got engaged and the simcha was off the charts in honor of the wedding he decided being that he was a kind person not just to give his guests an amazing time but also to take care of the entire City's poor so he plastered the town with invitations if you're one of those poor people please this is a personal invitation to my daughter's wedding come there'll be special tables with even better food for you the word spread like wildfire amongst the poor in that town and Beyond it was going to be a feast that they never forget the wedding came and they showed up and the tables were set with such a spread and everyone came to the and the poor people particularly their stomachs were growling they knew they'd be treated to a feast they probably never had before sadly during the khopa the kala collapsed and she was nifteris and the joy went ultimate sadness it went from the highest of high to the lowest of low says the Mr Richard maggot there were two distinct groups amongst the poor there were those that said listen the food is here anyways it's Takis sad it's tragic it's it's beyond but you think the the father of the girl wants the food to go to waste he paid for it anyways let's at least sit down at least something good will come out of this whole thing will fill up our tummies I'm gonna walk away someone taken care of but there were others that said we can't bring ourselves to even put a morsel in our mouth this is terrible we passed away all this food is supposed to be here for the rejoicing everything was supposed to be for the for the simran and and now we and they walked away hungry they couldn't partake couldn't even put a morsel in their mouth Sesame is a richer maggot listen most people in Claudius throw are not on this madrego but I understand this world that the Rebellion had an incredible incredible Hayao malabaillou he had an incredible wedding which was this world and what happened was that the kala was the Terrace which was the most amazing place for relationship with destroyed and once the base of miktus was destroyed it's as if the kala died on the day of the wedding with the base I make this destroy in their Bush I'm still in mourning I can't partake from the luxuries of this world I can't eat from the suicide subside on crusts of bread however even though we're not on the level of as Richard maggot but a few days a year I saw a batavis when we think about the hormone the beginning of the qurban Shiva servitamas Tish above certain days when the Corbin is front and foremost and those days we look at the Revenge Islam's morning for the death of his daughter the destruction of the base and we can't bring ourselves to eat that's the essence of the Tinus today we're not going to eat because we can't eat we can't eat when we think about the fact that turbotom's daughter was nifter the Baseline was destroyed let's at least try to feel the void I said at least try to feel something because when bensham sees that we're being finished Tsar maybe perhaps the Russian will say enough Tsar Shem her rebuild by ishlishi
