Let’s Celebrate all of the Rabbi Akivas in Our Lives - Rabbi Shlomo Landau

you know sometimes we underestimate the incredible power of our gadoli israel of our torah giants we take them for granted and sadly only acharya is kadashian sometimes after they pass away we realize how holy and how special and how critical they were for our generation there is a mind-blowing statement from the maharami pano marami pano says he asks a question that so many of them a farsha mask we know we celebrate like because that's the day that the twenty four thousand tamidim of rabbi akiva stopped dying but the reason they stopped dying was because there were none left so imagine for a moment a person loses his entire family and then he celebrates because there's no one else left to die how's that even possible how can we wrap our mind around celebrating like blimey when there were no more tamil left to die says the maharami panel that in essence in truth rabbi akiva himself was supposed to die as well he was their rebbe if they died perhaps he was part of the equation yet the rabbinic shalom saved rabbi akiva so that torah would continue there would be a continuity and he even writes and he says that the rabbanislam took the twenty four thousand tamidim in lieu of rabbi akiva it means rabbi akiva's value was twenty four thousand tam is that not incredible our torah giants our tamir ghacham are terrorist scholars they have such amazing value the value of perhaps twenty four thousand tom eden so as we build up our appreciation and our anticipation for shavuous the day of matantara the day that hakaris barco himself the noise gave us the torah we also have to build up appreciation for our tamil arabian our teachers arab that are the malam day tower of israel they too do what the rabbani shalom is we need to appreciate them and particularly we need to celebrate them [Music]
