מה למדים מצום גדליה? לימוד בהר הבית ביום הצום

Well, with the permission of the holy public, all the righteous, all the Hasidim, with the help of God, let's read together the verses in the book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah Chapter 4, which are actually dealing with this day today, the day of the fast of Gedaliah I was set and we will observe with the help of God, blessed be He, as is known, as the sages of the Shabbat and others say, that the purpose of fasting is repentance and good deeds. So we need to observe, we always need to open our hearts and minds, the thoughts to observe what God wants, because usually if we learn from history, then someone who sinned did not think that he was a sinner, usually he did not notice that he was a sinner, he thought that everything was fine that he was doing what was right and logical, and therefore, oh, really, this is what the Day of Repentance is intended for, to really try to observe in an honest, internal and renewed way, to try to hear and understand what God your God is asking of your mother, with the help of God, blessed be He. So, after the destruction of the house, Jeremiah the prophet still remained here, and the few who were still here, and I read from chapter 4, verse 7. And all the captains of the soldiers who were in the field heard, "And I will make a covenant with the king of Babylon to appoint Gedaliah, and to appoint him in the land, and that he appointed with him men and women, and Taph and Medella, until they were not exiled to Babylon." Yes, after they fled and tried to say that in fact it is possible to return, there is still life here. Gedal son of Ahikah is appointed over the place, may his name be praised. And they came to Gedaliah from Mizpah, and Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan son of Korah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumot, and the sons of Aphin, the medicine man, and Jazaniah among the mills, and their men are well, all of them are well-fed. And Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shephanosham sat down with them, saying, "Do not fear the service of the Chaldeans, return to the land and serve the king of Babylon." And he answered you, in fact, just as Jeremiah prophesied to them before, when it is described that they ask the Lord what to do, he tells them to submit to the king of Babylon. There really is such a concept called a decree of exile. A decree in which we should submit to the Gentiles, not fight. There is such a reality. And after the temple was destroyed and the king of Babylon ruled, I tell them yes, the truth is that their option was either Egypt or Bawah. Not really. But in any case, this is what he tells them: Megdaliah strengthens them and tells them not to be afraid: If you accept the king of Babylon's authority, by whom I am actually a subject, then it will be better for you, and I, who am sitting in Mizpah, will stand before the Chaldeans who will come to us, and you will drink wine, summer fruit, and oil, and put them in all of you, and you will sit in your seats, which he has seized, which is called, "You will settle down, you will feel comfortable, you will sit down." And all the Jews who are in Moab, the Ammonites, and Edom, and who are in all the lands, heard that the king of Babylon had given Judah a sabbath, and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan. And all the Jews returned from all the places where they had been driven there, and came to the land of Judah to Gedaliah the Mizpahite, and they drank wine and summer fruit in abundance . So there is actually, after the terrible destruction, it was really, really difficult here, there is still a barrier here that is getting stronger and stronger and starting to break through to the land. And Yochanan ben Korah, right? The commanders of the soldiers who were in the field came to Gedaliah of Mizpah and said to him, " You should know that Baalis, king of the Ammonites, has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to kill you, and he did not believe them, as Delaiah son of Ahikam did. Well, this seems like a positive direction." It's starting to be nice, cozy, a certain welcome after all the big Esther, but things are getting a little complicated. When Ishmael Ben Netanya is actually connected with the king of Ammon and he actually sends him according to what they say to kill Gedaliah to actually take power here and Yohanan Ben and he doesn't believe them interesting interesting what is this distrust evil why what like what they just made up until a few years ago many people thought Ishmael was okay they didn't know he wanted to kill them they didn't believe yes no the minutah so Ishmael you say Trimal Nino but you're hinting at one thing yes yes lack of his mother Ishmael and Ishmael answered what also maybe this is maybe the whole situation see the no as if after all the evil, everything that happened, everything we experienced, don't say now no as if everyone here is good we are brothers together yes oh I also didn't believe anyone would rebel like that against the king of Babylon oh you say from this side he's not right either but he wasn't afraid brother later on he tells him a lie you speak yes to the contrary to the contrary the idea of ​​Ishmael I also heard that as if it's not just about this not just wanting to take power well come on let's see Let's read the verses again: Johanan ben Korah said to Gedaliah secretly in Mizpah, "I will go and bring Ishmael ben Nethaniah, and no one will know why he has lost his soul and is scattered. All Judah is gathered to you, and what did Judah conceive?" There is someone here who understands the meaning, the situation, that he is warning about from the concept. He warns. He says, "Listen, Teleb, I tell you, if he strikes you, it's not destruction for the people of Israel. Abda Sarit Judah scattered all Judah gathered to you and Imaged Elijah son of Hikam son of Johanan son of Korah don't do this thing because you are lying to Ishmael wow what is known Gideon what tribe he was he received an appointment from the king of Babylon maybe he really was a Molshmael did n't believe Ishmael oh thinks such a thing to the point that he really claims that Johanan son of Korah is just lying. Really it's a huge miracle. Really a miracle. Maybe here he is already telling him after you want to kill him then you yourself already have it as if you are you what you have against him you are buying into him. Yes there is something here we also see later that could be Ben Korah we do n't know much about him let's see and she is in the seventh month it really is such a sad story as if everything was so much sorrow and suffering was so the Holy One blessed be He enlightens you some little note some grace to revive you in the land you need to see with a historical people it won't be seven too In October, oh, and in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Eli came, Shema of the royal seed. Here it is emphasized, he is of the royal seed. Rabbi the king and Sarah, people with him, Gedaliah son of Ahikah from Mizpah, and they ate bread together there in Mizpah. Yes, what are the best friends? What are you telling a lie about Ishmael son of Netanyahu? And Ish son of Netanyahu and the ten men who were with him, and they killed Gedaliah son of Ahikah son of Shaphan with the sword, the one whom the king of Babylon had placed in the land of Aiah, and all the Jews who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war, Ishmael, and on the second day, to kill Gedaliah, and no one knew. He did there annihilation of everyone who was there, that which was not of his clan, he annihilated them all. On the second day, people came and people came from Shechem, from his own, from Shemnon, eighty men with shaved beards, he is in pain and he is gathering and offering and incense in a man to bring to the house of my master. So Rashi explains here that when they left the house, they brought, they felt they did not know that the house was destroyed, they brought with them things to bring. To the temple so on the way they said that the house was destroyed and then they were shaved bearded readers clothes and all you can also interpret from the beginning that the house was destroyed to bring an offering in the house of the sword to see even though there is no house altar can be even though there is no a good let's see oh and Ishmael son of Nethaniah came out from the watchtower going God and crying wow wow was a serious actor God will help and say now our father why Gedaliah so oh did not believe he was a crazy actor God have mercy oh and Ishmael son of Tzli came out from the watchtower going to him and crying and she met them and said about them come against Elijah son of Ahikam and she when they came into the city and destroyed them Ishmael son of Nethaniah into the pit and people who were with him what cruelty this is something abnormal going Ducha from what side temple as if yes like that I understand yes he did he does what does he care what does he care you know you will not kill and this is not the question is why did he understand that people who come to offer sacrifice in the temple are people against him yes like what what you kill them everyone who is kind of now It was revealed as if or maybe Ishmael did not try to become the flesh of the people. He sat running away from the people. Maybe he rushed to gain time so that they would not be discovered. It will take time until they discovered the murder. They could be sent. They just happened to be in the situation and he doesn't care. He's there on the way to the house of God and kills them so that even where is this Johanan Korah? The commentators here say that he slaughtered them so that it would not be discovered. This is what he says. Why? The prophet tells us that they rejoiced on the way to the house of God. Now, even all who assume really do not try to reign, even though he warns that women were found among them and they turned to Ishmael. Do not kill us, for we have treasures in the field, wheat, barley, oil, and honey. And he will cease and not die among their brothers. Understand what he needs. Wow, wow, crazy about visas. Will you have anything for the house of Hashem or do you have Syrian wheat? What helps you more? Wow wow how crazy how good this reminds me of what the Sages describe as if it reminds me a little in this mishna it is written gently that one pushed his friend and fell and broke his leg but in the Gemara it is described that a scoundrel killed how many tomatzelm and then we start discussing the laws of impurity and purity you see that the head is simply confused between us oh completely the opposite yes it really is not printed thief you see the ease of killing oh if you have some food I will keep you alive a also as not from inside the wise man medikim medikim question if that is accurate maybe inside the hot no but later after they brought him the same food yes no but you are dragging Shoban here that basically he killed all the brothers every one yes those we gave him bribed him did not die yes you want as he takes them to the crowd as if all the and the pit that Ishmael threw there all the corpses of the people that will happen at the hand of Gedaliah is what the king did because of Esau king of Israel that word Ishmael ben Netanyahu casualties good interesting what a civil war that continues yes what a trample About this here today I said that it teaches what the problem was that the quarrels and wars between the parts of the people of Israel are what also caused the death of Gedaliah. It is no longer here. After that, where was Yohanan ben Korah and Shammah? They would meet at many waters in Gibeon, where there was the war between Yoav and Abner. There were also hundreds of the people of Israel killed. Joshua was also killed there. Even though we are used to saying that the Second Temple was destroyed for sleeping for free, but here we see that the First Temple, the whole war, Judah and Israel, and all this is actually what caused all the slaughter here. And maybe here there is also a. It is not related to Gibeon, but also Ishmael ben Netanya and he did it in both of them. He was the one who cut it off and instead of resolving it as it should, they went and did it and called the high king. No, we don't need to bring in all kinds of factors here. No, a conflict of surprises is not needed here. Also here in the West, enemies are starting to emerge here. Outside, we are recruiting external forces for the internal wars. There are Arabs in the West. It happens that many are brought in from outside to ease the internal conflicts. The Moffats and Ishmael are the ones who do it. All the people who were in Mizpah, the daughters of the king and all those who remained in Mizpah, whom the great Zoroaster had appointed, praised Galeediah the son of Hicam and sat down in the valley of Nethaniah and went to cross over to the Ammonites. Yes, it is truly a wonder that he did not, as if he knew that he had no chance. Apparently, he was here at the moment, he was milking the aid of the Ammonites. So he was just there. And Johanan the son of Korah, the cup of the commanders of the soldiers who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done. How painful it is that you see something that is going to happen and you cry out about it and they do not listen to you and it happens. I know it from somewhere. Yes, I know it a little, unfortunately. And they took all the people and went to fight Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. Wow, and they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon. Then Johanan the son of Korah returned the battle. And they all called out. And all the people who were with Ishmael called out Johanan the son of Korah and all the soldiers who were with him and they rejoiced. This is completely beautiful. And they all returned. Ishmael was taken from Mizpah and returned to Johanan on the mountain of Ben Kera. But they did not want to. And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped with eight men from Johanan and went to the Ammonites. And Johanan took Ben Korah, the commander of the soldiers who was with him, all the people who had returned from Ishmael son of Nethaniah from Mizpah, one after another, appointed Gedaliah son of Hicam, men, men of war, and women, and a detachment of Israelites who would return from Gibeon and go and sit down, and they would From many times when your eyes see us and the Lord your God has told us the way we should go and the thing we should do, woe is this story more painful than the other, maybe maybe they also think it reminds us of the spies, Jeremiah the prophet said about them, I have heard, I pray, O Lord your God, according to your words, and it shall be, all that the Lord your God answers you, I will tell you, I will not withhold anything from you, woe, woe. And they said to Jeremiah, O Lord, we have come to you in truth and faithfulness, if not according to all that the Lord your God sends you to us, we will accept so unequivocally what the Holy One, blessed be He, will tell you. This is what we will do with good and if with evil, all the Lord our God to whom we send you will hear, so that we may hear in all the Lord our God. This is so beautiful, so joyful, it is not clear, it is not clear what the story is. And at the end of ten days, my Lord spoke to Jeremiah, and he called Johanan the son of Ker and the Chosraelites who were with him and all the people of Lemechton, a great assembly, and he said to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to cast down your plot before him, if You will live in this land again, and I will build you, and I will not plant you, and I will not forsake you, for I have comforted you in the evil that I have done to you. Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you fear. Do not be afraid of him, says the Lord, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand. Such is the express promise from the word of the Lord. This is a truly great wonder. And I will show you mercy and have compassion on you and bring you back to your own kind. And if you say, "You are not women at this time, so that you will not be put in any place by the Lord your God, saying, 'We will not be like the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, nor will we hear the trumpet, nor will we see bread, and we will dwell there.' If you say, 'No, where will we stay here in this land? This is chaos. Let us go to Egypt, where we will live a good life. If God forbid, you will be troubled like this. And now, therefore, let the word of the Lord, the Gate of Judah, be heard. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, if you set your faces to go to Egypt and you will live there, and it happens that after you are taken up from there, there it will overtake you in the land of Egypt, and the multitude that you are worried about will cling to you there, and there you will die. Woe, woe, and all the people will be Those who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there will die of famine and in the matter of it. They will not have a remnant or a fugitive because of the evil that I am bringing upon them. As the Lord said, "These are the colors of Israel, as I have poured out my wrath on you in Egypt, and you will be given to the gods and to the name and to the curse and to the scorn and to the scorn, and you will see this place no more. The Lord spoke to you, the princes of Judah, do not go to Egypt. You will know that the testimony will be given to them today. What length? What is called "It is impossible to be confused"? Because you have deceived yourselves in your souls, because you sent me not the Lord your God, saying, "Pray for us, my Lord to us." Whatever the Lord says to us, so I will bind us and do it. And I will tell you today and you have not listened to all the things of my Lord your God. Go to the place where the Lord sent me to you. And you will know that I have chosen many and in the matter of it, you will die in the place where you desired to come to live there. The head knows that they will not listen. Not all of this is a warning. I say, "If you are sincere, if it is good, after such things, in such a way that a man says, it is Moses who knows, keep it there." At least trying to save them as if it's really very hard to understand how they don't listen to him after they also say explicitly that with a good and a bad people we will receive and take Jeremiah to speak for all the people all the words of the Lord their God which the Lord their God has sent and upon them all these things and said Azariah and Noshaiah and Johanan Ben Krab all the people of the Zidites say to Jeremiah you are lying you are not sending the Lord our God to say you will not go to Egypt to live there there is no chance what you are saying is once again a lie you are speaking there is no chance that the owners of lies and lies you can go up to the Temple Mount all this is not a generation they said no lie you are the first speaker here the Kabriya is true lie this is interesting if this is really there is some kind of acceptance here yes everyone believes what he wants what not oh everyone believes as if rejecting the yes right he says as if there is no openness if the thought that Moses wants to kill another lie you are speaking bitter actually actually there is some kind of really very harsh statement that really really as if this concept of conception is already annoying to say this but oh That is, that there is some perception that a person is captive to and he is not like that. You mentioned it several times that Moran and our Rabbi Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, may God hear and revive him after the terrible disaster on Simchat Torah. So he spoke here on the Mount. He said, " What is this? God has done to us? The Holy One, blessed be He, has blinded our eyes. The military, wise and intelligent people, bomb Iran, from every source, picking up everything, knowing where all this is. And here, beyond the fence, they change your SIM cards and that's it, they prepare vans for you. You're right next to you, you don't see anything. Oh, that can't be. It's against nature. So he says that it appears in many books that everything continues, all the things that continue at the root from the holy place, of course. That is, when we are the eyes of the sages of Israel, of the House of Israel, we don't see, we don't see what's happening beyond the Western Wall. As if there is a Western Wall, everything is good, you pray, how beautiful, you sing, you get excited, you and you don't even know that there is something beyond the Western Wall. It doesn't exist. No, it's simple. No, there is no, there is nothing. So, too, the Holy One, blessed be He, blinded the eyes of the security personnel as if there were some kind of fence, you are a fence, you don't see anything, it doesn't matter that they are training there, preparing vans, preparing bombs, preparing weapons. Yes, you don't see what, you don't see what's happening, you don't see that there is a wall, what's behind it, you don't see that the place of the Temple is being defiled by the desecration of the Shekhina, the Divine Presence is waiting for us. You don't see, you don't see anything blocked. There is a difference, and this is the darkness, and this is what is happening here, both to Gedaliah and to Gedaliah, and he actually does see and he warns you, as if Yochanan ben Korah does see, he warns Gedaliah, and then the same thing is read to Yochanan himself. Oh, so they say, not because Yochanan ben Korah is diverting you from us, in order to give us to the Kassites to kill us and to exile us to Babylon. Also, what strange claim is Yochanan ben Arieh diverting you from us? And Yochanan ben Korah and the unsaved and all of them in all my lords, except that in the land of Judah, and Yochanan ben Korah and the unsaved took all the people of Judah who had returned from all the nations that had rejected us. In the land of Judah, the men and the women and the king's gifts and all the souls that were left, the rabbi scattered, slaughtering Gedaliah the son of Hilkiah the son of Shaphan, so that Gad the son of Hilkiah left them, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Arieh, and coming to the land of Egypt, because they were not named by any of the lords, and coming to the land of Pinchas, what a tremendous pain. Well, and then the Holy One, blessed be He, appeared to Jeremiah and the Lord have mercy on him. Oh, I say in short, you are going to kidnap, the Lord have mercy on you. Why are you doing such a great evil to yourselves? To engrave for yourselves every man and woman who commits adultery and strangles from Judah, so that I may not make you a slave to make me angry with the work of your hands. Alas, alas, I will set my face against you for evil, to engrave all Judah. ​​I have taken away the gate of Judah, who set their faces to go into Egypt and live there, and they will die in the land of Egypt. They will fall, and the firstborn will die in great numbers, and the great among you, Abraham will die, and the name of Haifa, and all, and all, the Lord have mercy on me, in short, this is the very painful story of today. This is the Gedaliah fast that begins with Gedaliah closing his eyes painfully, as if a little too, maybe a little like it begins with Ishmael Ben Netanya coming and wanting to kill him, what happens until you stay here, a little bit dead, a little bit united, but it testifies when there is a difficult reality within you, there are those who need to kill you, so oh, then you must open your eyes and your heart, and really, maybe this is really the teaching, this lie you are speaking, about being able to open your eyes and your heart and turn to Hashem in truth and sincerity and seek the word of Hashem in truth, but you must always remember that there is a good measure, a measure of fornication, that is, if the Sages established a fast for generations on this day that you say, well, well, everything is already over, everything was here after the destruction of the Horai, right? The Holy One, blessed be He, wanted to leave some kind of remnant here, and she didn't succeed. Okay, well, what is this compared to all the terrible destruction that was here? He said, not every Jewish settlement in the land, every place, even under the protection of Babylon, and in a very small and neglected form, in the destruction. Etc., but there's something here. This is a very, very expensive thing. A very, very expensive thing. And so we are very sad that it didn't work out, didn't last. So also, Idah Gisa, when we return to the Land of Israel and we are no longer under the King of Bewa but in an independent state, so now here on the Temple Mount we sit, engage in Torah and pray and bow down, honest to the people of Israel and a mighty power that defeats its enemies. So of course we should not be ungrateful and acknowledge to Hashem a truly great favor. Already on this day, the truth is that it was appropriate to be as if what the prophet said would turn into joy and happiness was already taking place in it. In other words, on the contrary, we are in a situation now that is much, much, much, much better than the reality that the Holy One, blessed be He, wanted to leave there with Gedaliah ben Hikam. So then we also need to do the math. But that too is a calculation that needs to be made. Open your eyes to see that we are in a different reality. A reality of grace, mercy, and great kindness. And out of gratitude to Hashem for the wonderful situation in which He has returned us to the Holy Land and the Holy Mountain, may Hashem remember to open our hearts and eyes, to correct our ways and actions, to return in complete repentance, to renew the worship of the Temple, to rule our entire Holy Land, with the help of Hashem, may we merit complete redemption with great mercy. Therefore, may it be so, and let us say, Amen, Amen.
