In summary of 10 days, maybe 40 days or so, it was not easy to see a place that we expect to see much more, much more, much more, to see the sacrifices, to see the work of the High Priest on Yom Kippur. On the one hand, on the other hand, everyone who knows the mountain, years have passed, year after year, it changes, changes even more for the better. We have learned to thank the Lord, the Lord, the secret of the righteous, a conference, and we called the elders in the moshav. More than 300 worshippers will come up at once. Wow, I do n't know how many in total came up. Some 700, maybe more. We have to start with the fact that for various reasons, we don't count accurately. This time, it's in our favor. So then, the numbers were probably higher, to the point that there is no number, and we really are reaching a situation where it's hard to count. I thought about it. I said it maybe on the eve of Yom Kippur, but I'll repeat it. This is a very important point. There is Rosh Hashanah and there is Yom Kippur. On Rosh Hashanah, we belong to all nations, the whole world. The Holy One, blessed be He, judges the entire world on Rosh Hashanah. The Holy One, blessed be He, says, "You will bring a shofar, bring kingdoms of merit to the shofars, and thus you will have the rights for the Day of Judgment." Yom Kippur, on the other hand, has nothing to do with the Gentiles. We don't need any sign, a symbol that the Holy One, blessed be He, relates to us. Yom Kippur is a people alone to dwell on. Yom Kippur is not for them. They don't have mediocre people and wicked people. They don't have anything except that Jews. Yom Kippur doesn't belong to it. Yom Kippur belongs only to learning the same thing. The holiday of Sukkot that we are facing. The holiday of Sukkot is for all the Gentiles. It is written in Zechariah. We will read it this coming Shabbat in the Haftarah. All the Gentiles will come to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot. And whoever doesn't come, they will not have rain. They will have a plague. Everyone celebrates the holiday of Sukkot. It is written in the Midrash. 70 bulls are sacrificed for 70 nations. If the Gentiles knew how much the Temple atones for them, they would not destroy it. They would protect it best through the sacrifice of Sukkot. For this, we need to make a partition, something that will distinguish between us and the Gentiles. So we make the sukkah and then there's something different because we're actually celebrating with them. The eighth assembly is coming. Eighth Assembly, we do not belong to them. The Eighth Assembly has no part in this. Shemini Atzeret is not the holiday of Sukkot. The Holy One, blessed be He, says, make me a small feast, now I want something personal with you. Truly, on this holiday, we don't need the four species, we don't need a sukkah, we do n't need anything, because on the eighth day of the month of Zechariah, we are alone to ourselves. In fact, every week, every week, Shabbat comes, a holy Shabbat, so we are a people unto ourselves, Shabbat comes, and a Gentile who observes Shabbat must die. On Shabbat we belong to ourselves and perhaps from the mystery of why the sages were not necessary regarding the shofar on Shabbat, on Rosh Hashana they fixed it in the Temple and fixed it in the house because on Shabbat we do not need it on Shabbat we are a people alone to dwell so even when Rosh Hashana is on Shabbat we have the uniqueness of Shabbat and do not need the shofar for that but that does not mean regarding Sukkot regarding the Sukkah but okay in any case there is Yom Kippur and in the Bani Atzeret they have something that the people of Israel is a people for itself a people alone to dwell and the gentiles were not taken into account and we really remember that there is a connection they talked about what percentage of the people of Israel a talked about what percentage of the people of Israel pray on Yom Kippur in the State of Israel how many numbers they said, but we need to know that out of the percentage who do not pray on Yom Kippur, who do not pray on Yom Kippur, what percentage of them are really not the people of Israel. We can clarify this, but a it is not a very large number that they are not. And that Yom Kippur really belongs only to the people of Israel. We are now approaching the holiday of Sukkot. It is truly a holiday. Yes we read For all the Gentiles to come and celebrate the holiday of Sukkot and many nations went and said, "Let us go to the house of the God of Jacob and teach us his ways and comfort us with his blessings." The Gentiles can come to celebrate with us, but sometimes they don't think they are celebrating with us. They think they are ruling. They are kicking in our Sukkah. The Gemara in the Book of Idols says that the Gentiles can be a guest. In such a case, the Holy One, blessed be He, sits and plays with them. We will see, with the help of God, on this Sukkot holiday. The Holy One, blessed be He, who dwells in this place, will bless the people of Israel, so that we may deserve to see the salvation of the whole of the Land of Israel and the salvation of this place in particular. I will say a certain point that occurred to me yesterday. I also mentioned this. The prophet Jonah. We read this yesterday. The prophet Jonah wants to flee from the presence of God. It is impossible to flee from the presence of God. And in the end he arrived. But in the end, when the Ninevites repent, what does it say at the end of the book of Jonah? They go and build a Sukkah. The prophet Jonah is near the Ninevites. The Ninevites repent. So it would seem that it would be the same. The prophet Jonah and the Ninevites are now together. No, he needs a small Sukkah. The Sukkah is to separate. The Sukkah is, oh. Pay attention, we are not even if the Gentiles repent, there is still a point with Israel. The Holy One, blessed be He, loves us and gives us confidence. This is part of the message of the Haftarah of the prophet Jonah. The prophet Jonah fled. It is written in the Midrash, "Why did everyone say that the Gentiles quickly repent?" At the end, the Holy One, blessed be He, will destroy the people of Israel. The Holy One, blessed be He, tells him, "Do you think that I forget the people of Israel? There is nothing forbidden and nothing abandoned. There is no one to help Israel. I help even those who work the calves. This is what is written in the Book of Kings, which he told the prophet Jonah. Even those who work the climate. I still love them. That is why we need it. It seems to us as if all the Gentiles will come to the law. The prohibition of Sukkots is as if everything will be together. We do not have our little Sukkah, which is really what is called in the Zohar a tilde from the art of creation. The Holy One, blessed be He, gives us confidence. The Holy One, blessed be He, gives us this Sukkah, which is our connection with Him. So we have it, and it will complete its Sukkah, which is a covenant in Zion, where all the Gentiles come, they will come to the circle, but we will enter into a face of transgression. May the Holy One help us." Blessed be He, the law of the tabernacles, as a rule in the Temple, from evil in our days. Amen, yes, M.
