United, Finally... Just in Time - Rabbi Shimon Isaacson

shalom alaikum everyone we find ourselves in that time of year this friday's rosh chodesh of beginning the nine days we've been in the three weeks a time of terrible terrible availus for the quran by israel by shading of course plaguing a sense of sinascreen and the fact that claudius is no longer together is that we are divided we've been divided and any generation that doesn't build the base i make those in that generation so it's as if that generation destroyed the basal mikdash and we're still plagued by that sense of sinastrinam and it's striking it's fascinating that we'll read in pasha's mase this week's parasha we'll read about the death of aranakoen and we're told the date of the death the date of the death of our arnold cohen the torah tells us in the 40th year of ben shalom and what day did he die he died and that's an amazing amazing perhaps no coincidence is that aaron who is the o-way solo the road they've shown who did everything he could to bring husbands and wives together to bring the jewish people together so yes his patera is rosh chodesh to always remind us of what the avodah is in these nine days and perhaps interesting and striking and noteworthy is that since pesach of this year khudzlaar tenerit israel have been blaming different parties we've been off because the last day of pesach was shabab is so inaudible [Music] was laning the pesach laning the eighth day of pesach laning and we've been off for all this time and now finally on the day after rosh ave we're starting to come together by the time we get to tish above itself next shabbos the ninth of av dvarim will be once again united and the fact that khloe saw perhaps symbolically using this time learning the lessons of our own to come together once again we're now once again united we should be to be united i was at a shiva call this week a tragic tragic story there was a young boy 23 year old who unfortunately in an accident in a construction accident uh was nifter no children and i visited the father the mother devastating totally devastating avrov walked in and i rav there's nothing to say a 23 year old young man no not yet married hasn't yet built his own bias and then from one day to the next gone devastated and the ralph comes in came in and didn't know what to say there's nothing to say and he says to the father he says [Music] i was very pain to hear the biso the terrible besora and the father turned to the ravens interrupted and stopped him says [Music] bad news bad news i could deal with it's a total total destruction our family is destroyed there's nothing there the opportunity the potential to build to raise a family to get married to build a home have children a future is gone it's not just a bizarre ah the father told israel it's it's destruction not realizing potential not getting to the places where we need to be not having that sense that palpable understanding that sense of shrina that sense that we're all together and things make sense the fact that a child 23 year old boy passes away in that fashion korvan this is all the morning of this period and we lean on each other and this father told me he got so much when people made kabbalah nishmas and he saw the visitors people came in to visit him that had no shaikh's tim no shakkas but they see a sign they seen avail what can i do to be menachem that's what this period is about people coming together learning the lessons of our own uniting all facets of claude israel and bez hashem and that's close of being there for each other helping each other working with each other recognizing the kashiwas of every single individual being able to see our potential in that way as well that will go ahead and turn these days from days of our veils to days of simcha whereby hashem will see the bs gold mahero via menu amen [Music]
