Unlocking the Secrets of the Mighty Hero Shimshon: Insights into Three Weeks Leading to Tisha B’Av!

Heat. Heat. Welcome everyone. Today is Yam Sheni of Shabis Kazone. We are heading into the month of Av. We're in the midst of that three-week period known as Bain Hammedsarim. the I will call them dire straits. Um and what that means is that the three-ear period that extends from the 17th of Tamos till the 9th of A day of the destruction of the beta mikdash are called uh narrow straits because it says in the book of a which is uh lamentations that all of our enemies caught us between the straits. It was interesting just to think of the connection to the straits of Hormuz which is the focus of a world really what's emerging as a world war. So just at this time straits and straits but um uh what we say is when when things are get narrow for us things should hashem should widen things out make things a little bit easier and that's what we're dobbiting for. I'd like to dedicate this year in memory of my dear neighbor who suddenly passed away. His name was Ga Benasher. A very sadic of a man, a psychiatrist, uh, uh, a very spiritual man suddenly died. Um, and you know, also someone who suddenly died, who we mourn as a great friend of of the Jewish people and of Israel was Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. He literally was the greatest friend that Israel had in the entire Senate of the United States. And that used to be a big deal, but I think in the entire Senate, Congress, White House, and vice president included, and everybody else, um, he probably did more to speak and protect for Israel than any single Gentile he should be considered a righteous among Gentiles. I'm not surprised that he passed at this time, which is a time of general mourning for the Jewish people. I think that speaks a lot about him. And we pray for the emergence of more people, individuals at least, that will speak and and uh be mishtadel and work on behalf to protect our people from harm, which is really uh what this time of the three weeks really is. We try to minimize our exposure to danger. You're not supposed to take, you know, pleasure trips. No pleasure bathing. There's no reason to go to the beach during the nine days. uh it's not that activity. It's a time akin to morning. However, on the other hand, from the greatic masters, they've said that means if you seek Hashem, if you really want to connect to Hashem in a deep and spiritual way, ducha just start all over again. This time is actually a greater time than the three weeks of joy. These are three weeks of morning our three weeks of joy which begin with rash and culminate with of course Torah and as I've said since Torah became associated in the last several years with aos that means that with with a morning that means that these weeks have to flip over and start to accommodate some of yumto and simka and indeed will they will be the time the tishabove will be transformed into a major yontiff. And I I really want to speak today about a cultural phenomenon, a a new I don't know how new but profound thing that is happening right here in Bamesh in good old B sheh that some rabbis consider as a major sign that Msiach is mamish on the doorstep. And that has to do with a great biblical personality Samson the Great Shimon Hagibore who is associated with Bamesh as he is buried right on top of us here uh on there's a magnificent magnificent burial site that the cabalists have assigned to him and uh if you go up there you have to drive way way up a hill and you can see up from the top of the vista the entire B she sprawling in front of you and as we know Darth Bamesh was in the territory of Dan, what we call the the highway today, which is that major highway 38 where they found Tel Bamesh, the ancient ruins of the great city, the biblical city Bamesh. And that area was was known uh as Ben Sorht there is a kibbut and there's a also an right along the route 38 which takes you up to the main highway one to Jerusalem. So if Beamesh is so south southwest of Jerusalem. So you got to go northeast. You got to go north a little bit but also on an eastern angle. You got to go up to highway one then hang a right and you're on your way to Shalimir or Kodesh. Ironically, that was the path of the Aron Kesh when it was retrieved from the Pishim, the mortal enemy, the Pishim that lived along the the coastline who were the thorns in our side during the time of the uh Shimshon as his rule as a judge as a chauffet Israel. his main protagonist were the pushim and as we we're going to see some incredible incredible connections that are mind-boggling to Davidid and the emergence of the Davidic dynasty which is of course the dynasty of Msiach there are some incredible deep profound uh verses in our khazal openly gammoras but also in Zohar that I'm going to share with you today and with with Hashem's help we're going going to weave a picture of just how significant Shimon Hagibore whose yard site falls in this time period. His yard site there are two two reported yard sites. One tradition is the 24th of Tamas again well within the 3-week period well within these three weeks of morning for the temple. And then the other one is this coming Friday, Thursday night, Friday, gimmel of smack in the middle of the nine days, literally one week before tishab and I would tell you that I don't think that is uh a coincidence but rather the the memories of the and the contributions of of the great Samson Samson right Shimon Hagibore squarely fit into the central period of the three weeks because they are actually, you know, 3 weeks starts 17th of Thomas. Add a week, you're at the 24th. So, you're one week in out of the three. It means you've reached the midpoint because the middle week it begins on 24. Well, how long does that extend? So, you have, you know, you'll have 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. That's one week and then three more. Okay, that's about 10 days. And that 10day period is kind of like the crunch in the middle of the amear, the depths as it were, the depths, and that's his yard site. Now, what is the connection between the yard site of Shimshon, the day which Shimshon is sold, is most present in the world. So there's one rabbi very well-known rabbi his name and a very has done magnificent magnificent work bringing thousands of people back to Torah and mitzvos and from all categories uh whether they're mashkinazim whether they come from religious backgrounds not religious backgrounds he has enormous appeal and he's rather young they call him the inuka his name is Rabenu Schlommo Yehuda Bailey and he has a bait medish uh I think in Rishon that Seion and um people flocked to him. I've been to him. He's a he's a very very uh magnetic personality and teaches and teaches encouraging words and he wrote a piece that my friend brought to my attention. So let me just explain where I'm going with this. The Inuka said that it's a great sign that Msiah is on the doorstep. If the graveside of the great Shimshan Shimshan Hagibur becomes a place of celebration akin to Rab Shimai's meron quote unquote Yortite on Lagba Omare which of course again in the middle of a period of morning which is the omare we have this surge and breakthrough of sima so there's a summon so that's what the anuka is rabbi said, "Well, what happened was, and I have pictures to to show this, that's exactly what happened on the 24th of Tamos. Crowds gathered and turned thousands of people and turned it into a meron celebrations, music booths." Now, I'm not going into the ork issues about doing such a thing in the three weeks. There's different form for Ashkanazim. They don't hold, they don't observe the three weeks exactly the way. and maybe so you can't make a blanket rule here. And I'm not saying that they didn't that they did anything um uh wrong. I'm just making an observation. My observation is that there was a massive celebration just like me. They put they put up boots, they they they did food, they carried on. Now whether they did it because Rabi Berry told them to or whether something has been catching on, this has become a place that has become popular to go and davin and it's right here in Beamesh in our backyard. And I believe and I've heard reports that it's a busy place day and night. So it's become the cultural phenomenon is that it's become a centralized place of tila in a in a very in a recently developed area. I mean but she uh in its the in the scope and the size that it is uh you know has grown from a town of 50,000 maybe 30 years ago and has is now on its way to becoming one of the largest cities in Israel 250,000 people and some people want to say they've asked the rabbis why is BH so successful I mean there's and there and it's in a very attractive place for religious families because there's a lot of religious families is here and young people and keeps growing like mushrooms. Hill after hill after hill gets built and then new tenders are offered and new apartments and how come it's blossoming in such a incredible way. I think it's the fastest growing area in the country other than the Jerusalem high-rise buildings that are going up like also like mushrooms. But but they're connected because the Aron Kodesh when it was extracted from Golotat, the ultimate pishi, right? the one that King David killed. It was taken away from him, uh, reclaimed by King Saul, the predecessor of David, and retrieved for the Jewish people, but not the Auron Codes itself. But the but the Aon kesh event, the luos came out, but not the box. So Shaw retrieved the luos that were given to Mosher Rabbain who brought them back to the holy place which where it was unfortunately Shilo which was destroyed and then they had to create a new temporary bait Mishkan in the town of Nov and Givon where it stayed there and you know that's interesting because when the Aron kesh caused all sorts of plagues and problems for the pishim right down on the coastline in Kir in in Gat and in Aza some things have never changed and who knows Hashem being Msiah it'll change but it was a was a it was a little bit good for a while after the six day war you could go into Aza until you know a lot a lot of good stuff went on there unfortunately uh was terminated by our own selves foolishly uh but that's another story so The the idea is that the iron kesh caused havoc among their temples and gods and people were getting hurt and plagues and mice and they just were told how to send back that iron kesh and it came back through Bamesh and the people apparently were criticized at that time because they didn't stop what they were doing and all run to give honor to the Torah to the Torah aron even though the lus weren't in there but still uh they kept kept working and because of that 50,000 people died. So some one rabbi wanted to suggest he said you know the aron kesh came this way and we need a tikun we have to now have a place which honors the Torah and that's why bameshesh is getting its opportunity to rectify the problem that it had all those years ago in the days of King Saul uh prek king Saul to say that now it should become a place where the Torah is very honored by thousands and thousands of people let's hope so and um so let me now reframe the issue. The cultural phenomenon that I'm referring to is the fact that there's a breakout. It's a breakout um I would say phenomenon that people are adopting at Kev Shimon around the year but especially on this in this period of within the 3 weeks which is the two alternate yight traditions and I wanted to explore that a little bit more and see how that was significant because it also wraps into the the the safer that we just finished by midbar which uh is the you know ending of the Torah narrative up until the uh review of Torah Mishna Torah that Mosher Rabenu gives in the very last weeks of his life. Okay. So let's dive deep. What do we know about Shimshon's connection to what we've been reading in the Torah? Now listen carefully. the the protagonists of the Jewish people at the end of their journey in the desert were the Midionites. The Midionites through the advice of wicked Bum who came to curse the Jewish people. So Moav and Midyan teamed together to hire Bam from the Mesopotamia area who was the equivalent had equivalent potential as Mosher Rabenu but used it for evil and became the counterpart to Mosher Rabenu as Mosher Rabenu tried to do good and bestow good to the Jewish people in the world. Bam on the other hand was getting for selfish reasons as unselfish as Moshe was. He said you're going to destroy the Jewish people because of their sins. Don't I don't need to be here in the world. Mosherenu gave his very life for the Jewish people. Bam wanted money to curse the Jewish people. They are bookends. He's also contrasted to Aframu in Peravos. The same concept Aram bringing the blessing to the to nations you know of anybody who blesses you should be blessed. Ironically anybody bum curses is cursed. Those are bookends and it gives you a sense of there was potential of greatness. So you can either be great and highly successful in good or great and highly successful in evil. Both are potentials. So, Bum is the one who after failing to curse the Jewish people came up with an idea and he gave the following piece of advice. He said to his friend Balak, who he knew from many years before, remember Balac was a temporary king of Moab, but his real place was with the Midionites. And that's why Midan kind of teamed up with with uh the people of Moab because a Midionite had become their temporary king. So he goes back home according to Midashim according to the Zohar and Bam says to them listen if you'll let your daughters run around with the Jewish men and very very complex madashim how they drew them in again through money. They wanted to have beautiful clothes and things that the Midionites were selling and they lured them in using the women closer closer closer until they they uh caused them to sin. And that cost the Jewish people 24,000 people died in the plague because they were with these Midionite women. No, notice not Moab women probably too. But Moaf cannot be destroyed because out of it will come David Hamel, the Messiah's great great grandmother uh uh Russ. So we have this problem. The only ones that can be attacked and held accountable were Mid. And that's Mosha's final mitzvah that he's given by Kushbaru Nickmas. He caused the Midionites by taking up and paying Bum for his advice. Well, they paid him afterwards. They said he caused 24,000 members of the tribe of Shimo. At the head was Schlumiiel Benisha, excuse me, Zimry. Zimri and Cosby who was the princess of um of Midyan. They sinned publicly as if to say it's perfectly fine to marry a woman from Midan. And Mosher Rabenu himself married a woman from Midan, Yra's daughter. By the way, you don't see that Israel had any impact on Moab during the time of Balok. So, I think that's a proof that he never left the Jewish people. Because if he had left the Jewish people, if he had left, if he had left the Jewish people and gone back to Moab, why couldn't he influence anybody? Only Bullock was around to influence people uh later on. So in any case what do we have? So then at that point Moshe command Mosha's commanded Soros and that war is a such a strange war. It's really a war of purification. Right now what do they we learn a plethora of halakot from what happened postcript the war of midy. First of all only a thousand men were sent per tribe. That's 12,000 people against two a large large country Mijan. You see from the wealth that was brought home massive wealth, massive wealth people. It was a huge kingdom and very very wealthy. Okay. So Mosher Rabenu gave them strict instructions and the instructions were that you know anything that is metallic you have to purify through fire to get out all the not kosher food or whatever it might be or the uh impurities and also things that need that can be boiled in water. bring it into water or or or in a mikvah of water. And then they did away with all of the young boys and all of the women who were potentially part of the seduction process of the Jewish people, even if they did not commit a sin. But the very fact that they were designated to cause a stumbling block for the Jewish people, they forfeited their lives. And that meant any woman who could potentially have relations, you know, that's three years old and up. And how they even knew whether they were three years old or not, they said they checked using the sits. The sits, which says keshm. So what's this battle for? The battle is for kadusha. The battle is that the what what the Midionites did was taint the holiness of the Jewish people, the purity. What did Bum says? That's a end times prophecy. He says the Jewish people in order to achieve their tikquin have to remain ma in a holy matrimony with each other and with Hashem. That goes together. If the Jewish people marry out, where's the connection to Hashem? Our marriage to each other and our marriage to Hashem is one thing. That's a great the greatest challenge of our generation. And and to that end, the destruction of the family, what Bum saw with his evil eye, literally with his evil eye, as opposed to the good eye, which always wants to bestow good and look at things positively, he was missing an eye because that eye represented evil. He says, "Let me cast upon them a curse. Let me destroy their families." Uh-huh. Today, families are very, very challenged in Israel, in the Jewish community, every and in America. People don't want to get married anymore. People don't even want to. They just don't want to get married. They don't think it's worth it. There's no point to having a family. They've lost the whole appreciation of the idea of a of a household of service. What? You raise a child. You bestowed. You teach them values, right? And then you set them up to continue the world in a good way. That's called the sanctity of a marriage. But today people say, "What do you mean? What am I getting out of it? I want to go to parties. I want to go here. I don't want to be bothered. It's all about you. You're not giving of anything. It's what you want to receive out of life. But I'm fine. So, they don't understand this is the tragedy that the world is experiencing because people don't feel it's worth it. There's no value system placed in creating another generation and instructing them in the ways of good. What's called der erits. It's just not around. You know, ironically, my brother sent me a video of a Holocaust survivor's son. His name is Weriger, and he has the biggest sporting goods store, a sporting goods apparel business like in the world. And uh now there's because there's the World Cup, which the the um you know, the soccer matches around that the whole world's getting together for now. And then that the Knicks won the World Championship. Everybody's very excited about sports. So he as a Holocaust survivor said, you know, sports is is a good thing. People get together and they're happy. I don't know about that. And he says, but I sold I've sold millions and millions of shirts and hats and pro millions. This guy's a multimillionaire. I must be multi-millionaire, right? Of every description in kind. And he says, "My parents when they raised me, they spoke well about America. They had an iron tove on America. They said, look what happened. They sent army and they liberated Binwald and they So his father's life was saved by American soldiers. And he says, "They always raised me that I should be thankful for the opportunity to be I can be a Jew here. I can be religious and the world is open to me. If I want to go out and become a millionaire, go ahead and become a millionaire. No one's stopping you." That's not the sentiment today. And he he that was very very much pointed out by him. So the the concept that we're that we're explaining is that bum attempted to destroy sanctity. So the war is a war of holiness. That's why the sits which says keshashem is the key factor. Now, it wasn't only the young girls that they used that the was used to detect if they were if they were if they were set to the side of evil, set aside for evil purposes. But Bum himself, now this is this is an amazing amazing episode tell us. Listen to this. It's shocking. Bum had the to go first of all to the Midionites and say, "Cash up. I at least killed 24,000 Jews. That's got to be something. So pay me for the 24,000 Jews that I gave you the advice to destroy because they're your enemy, right?" Unbelievable. And he got and he did get paid. But at the same time as the troops march out to confront Midan, he approaches the Jewish people. Can you imagine the he approaches the Jewish people and say say he said to them um I'm going to give you an advice. Advice? Wow. Bam's Mr. advice, right? He and he said my advice to you is not to attack Midan. Why? He says be and he at this point didn't know that we were not allowed to attack Moav also and remember his buddy Bolock was back in Miden. So that was his main focus to save his neck. And he says don't don't don't attack. He says when Moab and Miden stood against you, right? You didn't you didn't defeat them. You didn't have a military campaign against all of a sudden you want to have a military campaign as revenge for the 24,000 whatever had that died. He didn't mention that part, but he said, "So, it's not you you're not going to win. You're not going to win. It's not a winnable war for you. You have to be conservative. You have to stay back." Of course, that was horrible advice because they must they had to have been destroyed. And and guess what? The Jewish people paid him in full. They paid him a nice consulting fee. Bum Consultants Company. He comes and sits down with the with the the the heads of the mats, those 12 leaders, thousand men, and he says, "Listen guys, you know, it's not the greatest idea. Just go home. Just go home. Cash it out. Just they pay him for his advice." Why in the world would they pay him for his advice when Mosher Abenu told them that he should be killed along with the five sarna uh mijon which by the way corresponds to the five sarna pishim that would later be confronted by shimsh but pay attention the the midun shim the midun pishim link is profound okay mid moaf pishim link but I can't go into everything all right So, so of course they go into the war. Now, how did they dis dispose of Bum? Okay, they defeated the Midyans. They took their captives. They captured the money. They cautured everything. Amazing. Holy. They gave percentages, donations to the m to the Mishkan. They gave percentages to the Levim. They gave percentages to the people who worked. It was a it was a process that was first and foremost transparent, pure and holy. And not one man even looked or thought about any of the mid any of the Midionite women as a potential uh object of affection. What a what a massive victory over even their own Yates, their own evil inclination. They had no interest in them. It was a it was a battle of ultimate purity and self-control. Amazing. Amazing. But what about Bum? So I just have to share it with you. Uh what Kazal say and what the zor says. This is actually in a medish medish raba anali and it says as follows. It's quoting the taramon. Okay. This is roughly a translation. When Bum saw Pinas who was sent by Moshe with the tits keshm to smoke out the sorcerer uh bum and bring him to justice. He he he escaped. How did he escaped? He could fly. He knew how to use his his sorcery and witchcraft to turn himself into a being that could fly or he had the capacity to fly his right. So one shot is that using the tits and the name of God was able to retrieve him. That's one that is in the medish. However, the Zor Kadosh tells a different story and this brings us back to Shimshon and the and the shvet of Dan, his tribe. Credible story. It says when he sees Pinas and he takes off in flight, he had with him his two evil sons, Yunus and Yav Yubirus. His two advisor sons were the ones who created the Agel Hazahav because they went along with the Jewish people as spy as evil spies. We're going to see that Shimshon was the original Mossad agent. He was the original good spy. Let me explain. So just like Bum had a plant and he planted his spies, his sons into make trouble with the Jewish people and create the golden calf using their witchcraft and so on. So too, Shimshon entered the realm of the Pishim as if he were undercover, presenting himself as a base individual interested in relations with their women when the truth could not be anything but the opposite. And I'll explain, but here's where Don comes back into the picture. So Pinas is at a loss according to the Zohar. He got away. He flew away. What are we going to do now? So Pinas gets up and says, "Does anybody know how to use Shamayim to fly? Does anybody have that tradition in any of the So sure enough, there was a member of the tribe ma who can fly after him." There was a there was a gentleman named Talai. Talai is actually um it means to davin or sail which means to shadow. He literally shadowed him. But Sali is like what they say the Baba Sali the the great rabbi from the Tivote Sali means the Davening one his name was so that's another reason but Sali means davening he said and he was from the shadon and he gets up and he takes charge of those incantations meaning he enters the realm of bum's evil and he flies after him now what so when Bum sees him chasing after him, right? He pulls some maneuvers and they both disappear. So now what? Okay, so Pinas did did not did not know what to do. Pinas calls out the following. Listen to the words of Pinas. He says, "You bum are like the primortal snake, the male snake who represents the epitome of evil. I'm asking that you be detained, that you get caught up in flight." At that point, Salai, notice he said, Taninim is a and then Sal Yudhe which is the name of Hashem. Get it? The good snake because the snakes are also were supposed to be a great servant to Adam Harishon and ended up being corrupted. Same idea. It can go either way. He says, "Ah, I got him." And they both landed in front of Pinas. Now, what's the connection? The snake shet don connection. Listen to this. Because it says bum vi bum went alone. Sheffy means by himself could mean other things too. But the word sheffi is another name for that snake. A shifon is a snake. As you may recall from the blessing that Yakovinu gave Shvetun al it's the puk that's used to describe in the 49th chapter of brait the blessing of dun dun is the snake right the coiled snake it's called a shif phone the nun is feminine it's plural So the male evil snake bum is confronted by the the pair of holy snakes male and female. Okay. And one cancels out the other. How does that happen? Because it says you see he is that snake against the snake which bum was called. There are two statements here in the blessing of Yakov. we know saw Shimshon way into the future and blessed him. He said that's going to be later in the generation of Shimshon in the time in the times of the of the prophets the judges. The second one is Salai is the ancestor the from the from the days of Mosher Abenu that helped Pinas take down the male evil snake which is Bum. So what the Zohor does here in par's bullock it somehow intertwines the notion that shimon was a part of taking down villum okay fine salv it done but what is the what is the zora teaching us here there's a role that shimon plays okay now let's go a step further Let's go back to the story of Shimshon itself to understand what the Zora is trying to tell us. Why is Shimshon so central to the fall of Bum? Like what does that have to do with anything? So you look into the story of Shimshon in the middle of say for we know that he was extremely holy from birth. So there's a parallel there to Muhammmed Midan. He wasn't supposed to drink any wine, right? He didn't and and according to the Zor and this is some of the the uh sources that Rabbi Bea brought up about this. He was extremely holy. Okay. When he sees a pushy woman, right? He says that she is good in my eyes. So, Rabbi Barry wanted to explain and say he had such a good eye that what he was able to do was put a little bit of good into someone and draw out the good from all the evil if you follow me. So that's like um how do you say the same thing that went on in the conversion of midyun to take right to take the pl the plate is good the utensils are good except they've got tra stuff all over them so we'll boil them in water we'll bring them in fire we'll bring out the good the only way you can do that is by entering the e you have to you have to deal with the evil you're not going to get you're not going to get the evil evil, the good away from the evil without engaging it. So that's what Shimshon did. Shimshon went down to the pishim and he started up with them. He said, "I want to marry one of your women and he and he gets into all these fights with them and riddles and contests and he keeps murdering more and more of them as a subtuge." That's why I say he was like a Mossad agent because they didn't know what he was up to. They couldn't understand what he was up to. All they knew is that every time he keeps blowing people up or murdering people. It's kind of like, you know, taking out all these people and then it gets more and more complicated and more and more complicated and then and then the woman Delilah gets involved. Delila gets involved and eventually where does it all go? They put out his eyes. They tie him to the to the place of their worship. Thousands of people were there. Men and women celebrating and mocking him. They put out both of his eyes. Notice two eyes. Bum's eye was put out also. Follow me. But this is the eye of good. So Shimchan says something strange to Hashem. He says, "Let let me one last time use my superhuman strength that you gave me to destroy the to destroy the and uh he uses it one more time pulls down the the supporting structures and everybody is killed." And the Puk says about him in the Nvi says in that one act he completely wiped out the pushim and the land for 40 years we dominated them. The 20 years when he was alive and started up with them for 20 years and the 20 years afterwards they were just destroyed for an entire generation. And by the way, however, they weren't completely done with them. But this was the beginning of the end. This was the beginning of the Malut Israel taking charge of the land that had been in the hands of the for they were completely enslaved. They completely had control of the land of Israel. This was the turning point was the battle of Shimsh. Now what happened when Shimsham was in prison? this is unbelievable is that he was such a specimen that they forced breeded him which is a horrible thing. They would bring women to him and force him to be with them to impregnate them so that they would get these great genetic specimens. They didn't care if it was their wife or anybody else. They didn't care. They're not push notoriously uh lewd and leerous. So they wanted these big kids to be their servants and that's what went on. One of the women who appeared was none other than Orpa, the sister of Russ, who had gone back to Mid. Notice the connection here. But if you look deep into the sources, you'll see that the Pishim and the and the Moabites at the time were buddy buddy. And when she came back and re-entered her debauchery, they were there. So there's two different traditions about what happened that night. But either way, Orpa is the mother of Golya, David's protagonist, the archi, whose death signaled the beginning of the kingdom of Israel to really really take root, starting with the the emergence of David. But the father of golad is shimsh. This is shocking. The father of golad was shimsh. That explains something very deep. Med says that the father is the ultimate father you know great-grandfather of damel went to manoak the father of shimshon and said to him why don't you have children? Why don't you have any children? And because he chided him like Pineina chided her sister Kana, Pineina lost all her children and Kana ended up having that son Shimu Hanavi. So too because Boaz chided Manoak, Boaz loses all of his children, every one of them. And out comes Shimshon. But then because of Shimshon, Golat is born. Goliath is born. And the one surviving son of Boaz confronts him. Boaz knew there's got to be something that's going to come out from Monoak that's going to set up our kingdom for good and for holiness. And so, but if you follow the seed of Shimshon is what destroys the goodness of Shimshon is what destroys the team from within. It's like a foreign agent that takes root like a beeper that they have that blows up on them. You follow me? That's what it was. It was an explosive what they try to put on President Trump's plane. The Qatari plane that is who knows what kind of what kind of contraptions are in that plane and what could emerge from that plane. What an idiot to take that plane. But he he had to fly back from Turkey on on a different plane cuz who knows what kind of gizmos and poisons and whatever well else was on the other plane. And who told him who saved his neck? Israel. He wouldn't have walked out of Turkey alive. And you know that poor Lindsey Graham was in Turkey too. And who knows V will never know maybe that this guy was in a picture of health and all of a sudden drops dead like nothing. He just came back from Ukraine and from Turkey. H interesting. Russians are notorious for poisoning people. Notorious. Who knows what happened to him? Who knows? Shem. So, it's the it's the good that undoes the evil because it's so strong. It's able to enter into that world of evil and destroy them. Just like Salai was able to fly into the realm, the evil realm of Bum and drag him out of there to get rid of him. Okay. So, so Shimshon then represents what happens to Shimshon is that his son Goliath is slayed by David. The sword of Shimshon is then brought to where? To Nov Kohanim, the future Betam Mikdash. What? What do you want Goliath's sword over there? Well, if you understand that this is Shimshon's doing, the sword according to the Zoroadosh was a pipote. It was a two-sided sword. You can kill with either way. It's not just like it had one blade. On the other side, it was double-bladed sword. It's the source for how we make brisa with a double-edged knife. In other words, how the sanctity of the Jewish people is maintained came back door through the son of Shimshon, the holy Shimshon who enters vile world of the pishim but is able to pull out the good that's lost there. Much like schol pulled away the luos from Golat. So too the sword of golat turning from the death of the Jewish people turns to the life of the Jewish people. So what does this all mean for us? This intricate path that I have this argument that I'm presenting to you. I apologize it was a little hard to follow but it's like being it's like following a mystery. It's like a clue after clue after clue until you come to the fact that Shimshon is a figure that helps usher in the mood of David Aamelik. That sword is later picked up by David Amelik when he's fleeing Shaul and ultimately it accompanies him the rest of his way as he battles all the enemies the remaining pishim the amalikites and that sword is the sword itself that he uses to deliver mal to the Jewish people the fact that Shimshon's anniversary of his passing is in this period of time shows that there's a seed of holiness the Mossad agent the the fellow who was in Syria, what was his name again? The Ellie Ellie Cohen, right? Ellie Cohen hiding in Syria, who would ever know that a great victory would come to the Jewish people in the Six Day War because of him? Who knew that by Shimshan hiding himself and getting so involved with these crazy pushim that he would literally destroy them, destroy the enemies of the Jewish people with his with his uh how should I say connection to them, with his interest in them. Okay. So what that means is that I think what this can be said is uh perhaps what Rabbi Beri is is alluding to here that when the when the grave of Shimshon becomes a merrymaking festival that means that the story comes out and that the tales and the David Aamels have vanquished a portion of evil. I did make my own little observation that Shimshon goes to a place called Timna. Timnata. Well, Timna happens to be the name of Amalik's mother. Timna was the was the pilleg of Asaf's son Leifas. And out of that came Amalik. Timna. The the turning point when evil can no longer dominate the Jewish people. We were under their control. We don't want to be under the control. Kal Israel has dav and learned and repaired bamesh and repaired so many things and by virtue of our suffering and our suffering these last couple of years. There's a transformation that's going on. The shackles need to be loosened. Some of our enemies took major major blows in this miraculous year. Okay, it's not all smooth sailing. But then again, are we all smooth sailing? How smooth sailing are we? You know, how much can we claim that we deserve Hashem's endless progress towards vanquishing our enemies without a few steps back and a few steps forward? I hope and pray that we've we we're really marking a time hold on to this that the kot of rah have their grip has been very loosened and that means we're going to emerge a holy nation in the land of Israel and when that happens that's a re that's a death and a rebirth that's the idea that Mashiach is born on tishab sometimes you got to go in and destroy something in in order for it to be reborn. You know they say that the ni or mao cried about the loss of the beta mikdash. But he was comforted that hashem took out his anger only on stones on a building but not on the Jewish people. The bond between hem and the Jewish people is unbreakable. Whether it's going to be this building or that building or the full building or a partial building. We have mikdash like bum taught us and there's mikdah and there'll be the bet mikdash and everything in between as long as our bond is not severed. We should be working on that are even in during these three weeks at the time from Pim of Hashem turning away and of destruction and of hatred towards the Jewish people right should begin a turning towards then and the and the turning towards is it's warming up we're warming up this period of bename as the kidic masters have been doing for 250 years and saying no no no you're looking at differently the potential for kadusha in this time is so powerful don't lose the opportunity let's Hope we use these these days in these days in our coming period. Letova, we should see big Yeshua and for the Jewish people. You see your
