Tzipisa L'Yeshua Chapter 1 - The Source For The Obligation To Believe In Moshiach {1}

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everyone this is a very important limo that we're embarking upon we're learning the safer written by the time himself the name of the safer is sipisa lishua and the origin of this subject I want to thank my father this was my father's idea and who better than to ride a safer on the subject of awaiting the coming of mashiach it is said that the had a suitcase ready for what Michelle would come and that he even practiced uh running toward the door even though he was an old man practicing how he would be Mercado would say and this is something that the uh Levenstein writes in the safer anemuna on page 292. he says that waiting for mashiach is like a sick person waiting for a doctor who has a remedy who's coming to him with the Cure so not only is the ill person awaiting anxiously for the doctor to come but the longer it takes does not diminish the patient's anticipation but uh just the opposite it intensifies it so as The Gallows increase the proper reaction says is that our longing for the mashiach should intensify before we even begin let's address the following question and this is a question that we're going to deal with sort of side by side as we read the safer we know the word see peaceful Yeshua come from where the gemara tells us that amarava five lines from the bottom ladin at the time where that a person is brought in for the ultimate judgment after 120 they say to him and they ask him a number of questions they ask him did you deal in business honestly did you set times to learn Tyra did you engage in procreation question number four ishwa did you await the coming of the mashiach the question is we know that after 120 we're responsible for not only 613 mitzvahs but all the halachres and it's it's certainly of note that why would it be that there's 613 and of all the midst of darisa the six primary questions one of them is did we await the coming of mashiach I mean we're in the Torah does it say that we have to await the coming of mashiach so rava is darshaning it from Yeshua is refers to did you deal in business honestly refers to were you sen refers to procreation Yeshua is refers to sipisal ishwa but the question is this is a posse in the navi so maybe there is some illusion in the navient that we have to wait the coming of mashiach but firstly where do we find anywhere in the Hamish that we have to wait the coming of if this is such a fundamental obligation how could it be that it's not mentioned in the Hamish and we know there's an idea a prophet is not authorized to innovate a new obligation if the Hamish barely even speaks to that mashiach let alone an obligation to await it so what is the source for this where did the Navy Shia get this from this is a major question in other words what is the Makar in the Hamish that one is obligated to anticipate the fruition of the promises of the navient Rashi even says um so there's an amazing smack the smack is one of the rishinam who codified the 613 Mitzvahs and in mitzvah aleph the very first mitzvah the smack says the first Mitzvahs to know that the one who created heaven and earth he rules over all Realms lamala lamata the four corners of the world what possuc says that one has to believe that the Creator rules over all four all corners of the world says it's the first possible I am Hashem your God who took you Adam and the possible says as opposed to the smack says to the philosophers that they say that the world is coincidence the world is dominated by uh the masolas there's no man Hig and they say even the splitting of the sea and The Exodus and all the Wonders that just happened based on a lucky happenstance we had a good muzzle at that time and our our belief is that a shekere hakalesburg who rules the world at will he took us out of mitzrayim nobody even bangs their finger unless it's decreed from above okay so the smack says that the first Mitzvah natairah is Aid to believe in the existence of the Creator and that the Creator controls and dominates everything in this world that even small occurrences are decreed from but then the smack says upon this principle is predicated that which the sages tell us that they ask a person after 120 Yeshua where we see such a mitzvah it must be says the smack toloi that the Mitzvah of belief in the coming of mashiach is dependent in the belief that Hashem meaning just like one is obligated to believe that because like it says we likewise have to believe that Hashem will take us out and redeem us from our current Galas in other words the smack learns that the belief in the coming of mashiach is not just Epis the belief in the coming of meshiach this Mark says is so fundamental it is so basic this Mac says that it is the first mitzvanatara first mitzvanatara is to anticipate the coming of it's part and parcel of the Mitzvah Hashem and this is an idea that we've explained that length on many other occasions let's begin it and we'll continue this idea next time so that um we could start reading the safer but the idea is we know that yet was not only um the Paradigm but it was the pre-enactment of uh the future Redemption right the posix says in amaze said excuse me the plastic says like the days I took you Adam I will show you wonders and which means that not only just not only Hashem redeemed us from a time and he will also redeem us from our current golus but the Redemption from its rhyme was the pre-enactment of the future Redemption and therefore pardon parcel in the belief that because the belief that he will take us out of the current Galas and we've said on many occasions from Rabino bakaye rabbin writes the following words all the prophets unanimously prophecy that the Final Redemption will parallel the Redemption from its Triumph so uh we'll we'll elaborate on this more bezel tomorrow but in short according to the smack the big question after 120 Aid where does it say that there's such an obligation it is the first Mitzvah in the Torah according to the smack it's part of the belief in The Exodus which is part of the belief in mitsias Hashem so according to the smack it is one of the most fundamental tenets of yahados so let's begin um by reading the safer and we'll see that there are other sources that um that articulate the great obligation to anticipate the coming of so let's start parakrishing says behold because of our many sins we see in many places a that religion has plummeted greatly um and people are disconnecting their children from their youth from the Torah mashallah something we have never seen before in our history now let's stop and just Analyze This because the first thing we see is that how do we Define define the trajectory of kalistram how do we Define the direction of the Jewish people how do we Define how do we what's the barometer to determine whether we're trending up or we're trending down the answer is telling us it's dependent on our children if people take their children away from the Torah then we're trending down if people are being most beneficial to educate their their children then we're trending up everything else is uh is secondary the main barometer of the health of the Jewish people is what is the status of our children so okay that's the first observation the second observation is is observing that there's An Occurrence there's a phenomenon that that is happening that never happened before and that is for the first time in history people are taking their children away from the Torah now without falling into a very um controversial subject and reasons for Holocaust and so on and so forth certainly the was someone who avoided Lush and horror at all costs if there was if there's anybody who's careful about Russian Hara of course it's observing that in uh the beginning of the 20th century for the first time in our history there is massive defection from the Torah and not only are people moving away people are removing their their children from observance and the question is why why are people doing that when we investigate and analyze well alciba soinyan what is the primary cause there are many reasons for this says the primary reason why Judaism is plummeting it's because of a weakening in our belief what does that mean it is the belief in the Eternal World namely reward and Punishment and the coming of the Messiah and all the promises of the Torah a Muna is what has given the Jewish people the strength to endure all the travails of the golus it there's nothing other than the than a Muna in the Eternal World in other words what gave Israel the endurance to withstand the Galas it's a conviction that this world is temporary and even if it means giving up their life for the sake of the Torah it's worth it because this world is temporary and there's an eternal world there's a world of Islam there's a world of the world this has what has strengthened and given the strength to Jewish people in every generation Lisa is that to be able to bear and tolerate all the oppression and all the difficulty and to stand up on behalf of their religion the messiah's nephesh with sacrifice Hain bahatzman whether on their own behalf heinous banayam or on behalf of their children throughout history people were fine seeing their children slaughtered before them that was preferable to them than to see their children in a uh grandiose successful secular life that was the decision that Jewish people made for 2000 years it was preferable for a father to see his son slaughtered before his eyes sanctifying the name Hashem to return his pure Soul better that miloroise than to see his son in the Pinnacle of well-being if that meant the son perverting his pasta and what gave us the strength to endure that and Muna in the afterlife but afterlife means it means and it means the coming of we were willing to give up everything why amuna and the main reason that we see Judaism plummeting today says in a way that we've never seen our history okay we'll continue here tomorrow thank you very much have a good day everyone you've just
