Rabbi Ginzberg &Rabbi Yitzchok Eisenman-Don't Just Count the Days, Make the Days Count

i'd like to thank khazak for sponsoring this event and especially torah anytime for spreading torah being marbet's torah and for spreading this event worldwide i would like to thank my good friend nasama epstein for personally recording this wonderful shear i'd like to speak about that in spheres omer we're not just going to be counting the days we want to make all the days count and we know that in the whole idea of spherusa omer of making the days count has to do with even though it's after lag with omar when some people think that that's it but that's not really true the homework continues and the tummy tum of rebbi akiva who we have to uh always be aware of we have to remember what exactly is the meaning of the sphere and the idea that the tummy tum of herbie akiva unfortunately passed away shalom nagu covered they didn't treat each other with respect rabbi kiva who was the greatest of uh the tana who said come on because that claude said love your your fellow jew as yourself this is the greatest cloud the greatest law and the torah but nevertheless his talmidam lonago covered zelaza they didn't treat each other with respect so what does that exactly mean that the students of the rebbi kiva didn't treat each other with respect so low inaugural covers those that they didn't show each other respect meaning they even if they disagreed even if the president you're allowed to disagree you're always allowed to disagree gemara is full of disagreements but there's a way you disagree and unfortunately we find that apparently they were somewhat on their level of course on their level they were somewhat dismissive of each other that they didn't take the opinion of the other side and think perhaps there's something i can learn from there something i can gain from there rather unfortunately just the opposite they were just focused on their own opinion and dismissive of the other person's opinion it's brought down in the name of roberton cotter zechariah the famous uh klutzkr yeshiva and then the receiver in lakewood new jersey he said when you're involved in learning toyota so people know you have to say over toyota well say over something reborn would say you also have to listen listen listening to the other person is just as important as saying over your own opinion in some ways listening is more important to listen to the other person to see what you can gain from what they're saying of the points that they're bringing out how it can improve your points that's such an important thing and that involves what that involves giving someone a sense of covered showing a person respect not being dismissive of the other person but rather having respect for the other person it's interesting that lachville um this year which was the heir of shabbos pasha's amor so we find in parshas emor the very end the very end of parsha seminar it tells us a uh a story even though most of them are about laws of kohanim and other other halakhas but then the terror tells us that benishi israelis for being switzerly tells us a story about a man who was the son of a israelis israelis a jewish woman but he was his father was a mitzvah he was a non-jew not there was a fight there was some sort of argument there was some sort of there was a fight there was a fight went on an argument and much like this israelis between a man who is the son of the israelites for each israeli the man who son of the israelis woman and the man who's just a total israeli what's interesting is that the terror tells us there was that there were not supermarkets they were fighting in the camp so the sheila of course is what were they fighting about what are they fighting about the determinant never tells us victoria never tells us anywhere what they were fighting about we know there are various ghazal of course give different opinions of what they were fighting about whatever they were fighting over where he should live where he should stay there are many many different opinions what they were fighting about but the torah itself interesting enough goes to the goes out of its way to tell us that there was a fight i mean the turtle could have just said that a person he eventually the ben mitchery went ahead and unfortunately blasphemized was mikhail hashem he was called he's called the mikalo they could have just started from there why does victoria make a point of telling us there was a much like this there was a fight but it doesn't tell us what the fight was about so we find that in the milton kilter tells us the makoto there will be small when there's a fight between people so out of fights nothing ever comes good when there's a macholicus when it comes to a macholicus when it comes to a fight nothing good came out of that could come out of that and the says people are fighting but so they first they come as it says there's a an argument and then the argument escalates marcos to physical hitting and finally the physical hitting blindly dungeon then a person can eventually going to be killed or eventually will there'll be a terrible punishment that's what happened with the tomi de monforte verbi kiva of course people can have a civil dispute we we're very poor we're very pro we're not uh monolithic we're not a hustler we encourage people to share their thoughts their hidush and that's what learning torah is all about on the other hand it has to be done in a civil way in a way which we show respect in a way which we show covered for each other and the idea of showing covered with each other means to maintaining shalom with each other the maintenance of shalom with each other in our community in our schools in our homes with our friends that's the most critical thing that we have to learn to make the days count if we really want to make the days count the way to make the days count is to be marbusholum is to after unfortunately the students of rebecca was a period it was unfortunately they split apart they split into different factions and each person was for themselves and unfortunately can't stand when this period we know of course that even those who blasphemized the the dorha flag the generation of the fl uh the generation of the dispersed people but as we know cause i'll tell us but they were at least unified they were shalom they got along with each other so even though they blasphemized they weren't killed out as opposed to unfortunately we know the the dora mabul they were people the generation of the flood these were people who were constantly and disputed much like us with each other and therefore they were totally wiped out so the ways to make the days count is to avoid machoichis and to be marbushalam to avoid any dispute to avoid any arguments to avoid schisms in in the jewish people and to create shalom to create peace especially now especially time at this point there were so many different opinions of the different people different communities how we would act during covert this way that way now is the time especially now the time to come together to group together to have activists have unity to have shalom it's amazing the last mission in all of shasta the last mission in all of shasta's missionary base famous mission it says it says eventually is going to give to every tadik 310 alumnus 310 world a great great gift and it quotes the pasek in michele i'm going to give to those who who love me i'm going to give them yes yes of course and gematria is 310. and then the mishnah and shivam and khalaftha teaches us that when a question who wants to give a blessing where does he find that he'll put the barakah where is the bracha where is the broccoli going to be held where should it be placed so it says in the mish broccoli where do you place the where do you place in what receptacle what receptacle do you place the broccoli you have flowers where you're going to put the flowers you have to put them in the most beautiful place the most fitting place for the flowers you're not going to put the flowers on a tray you're not going to put the flowers in a basket you have to have a beautiful vase that's where the flowers belong so too hashem wants to give his broccoli where is he going to put it where is he going to put it which caylee which receptacle so that says the mishna that crushed broco couldn't find a greater receptacle than shalom than the idea of peace shalom when there's solomon claude israel hashem islam solomon the solomon claudius that when the shalom exists hashem's bracha is present hashem is there he places his bracha we feel his brother we are we benefit from his bracha but i just have to end with the words of the tepharis israel it's fair to throw under the classical mufarsam on the mishnah tells us it says ah but who am i who am i it says this is only the quote the great righteous people okay you should live and be well great sadikin these are people who are going to get these 310 obamas but who am i how do i compare says that to ferris israel no if you're a person i feel it sadly no gomer you're not a total saudi but because you listen to turtle when you can you go on terror anytime you listen you listen to a shirt when you can when you can um it's so saying you do the mitz as best you can and even he says even the farming mikshall sometimes you you slip up sometimes you slip up oh miss rochelle or sometimes you're lazy the indonesia sometimes we're not so careful how we make a broker sometimes we're not so careful exactly how when we dive and how we dive in look i am it's for security we're human we're human nevertheless says the te feriseral afa piken lo yo vilo ha malachim shin yud ba lama ba you'll still get your 310 what you'll still get the brock of the 310 worlds in the next world which is by the way besides the great toyota that is going to be on us in olam hazel if if you have shalom if you have shalom in your house in your house and you have shalom with your friends the receptacle is present once the receptacle president hashem says okay you don't always dive in so great okay you miss abraham once in a while okay you don't learn maybe as much as you can oh but you maintain shalom in your house you maintain solemn with your friends you meet solomon at work you keep shalom in the shul ah then who says they're solemn present now you get my bracha the beautiful bracha the shepherd in this world and the 310 worlds in the next world as well so therefore let's make these days count let's make these days count by each day trying to be marvel shalom bringing a sense of shalom of unity of actus of togetherness and by doing so basis hashem will truly be zakha and privilege to kabbalah satire we've come to speak about a terrible unimaginable incomprehensible tragedy that took place on yomi lulu during shrimp the day of shimakaze yard site a day that has been set down for generations as a day of celebration at the passing of shabbat because on the day of his passing hazal tell us that he revealed so much hidden torah to his students and of course then to clay israel for the generations and we celebrate the light of that torah and it's an incredible place of celebration and on that very day in the midst of celebration amidst the kedusha the holiness of the day a terrible and comprehensible tragedy and the loss of 45 kardoshin with horror and clay israel is suffering kaiser's in pain our eyes are wet with tears our hearts are broken and struggling to try to cope and to understand and that's what this evening is about first and foremost i think the message is to understand that it is something that is incomprehensible for the human mind the greatest of our scholars the greatest of our tamin throughout the ages of always trying to understand why terrible tragedies happen and that message and that answer is hidden only to reveal to us that should happen speedily in our day explains in a passage describing both the righteousness and the judgment of al-qaeda's barracuda he says sitko kosko kaha your righteousness is like at the top of a mountain what does that mean says the madrid if you want to look at the top of a mountain and you stand at the foot of the mountain you can't see the top you can't see the peak but if you step back and the further back you go sometimes hundreds of miles away you have a better grasp better vision of the height of this mountain be able to see the top of the peak of the mountain i cuddle sparkles righteousness we often don't see when it happens we often don't see it a year 10 years 100 years in that generation but as we span generations and we take a look from a distance we just are in ore of the greatness of akaddish baruch's righteousness however says your mishpot your din your judgment is like the depth of the sea no one has been able to understand to get a glimpse of what is doing in the depths of the sea there are places in the world that have been unable to be conquered by man even in this incredible age of wisdom and technology and advancement of what goes on in the depths of the home of the deepest part of the ocean which is all black that is the way to understand it cause broker's judgment which means it's incomprehensible can't be explained the villagone gives an incredible muscle a parable to explain one of the most difficult midrashim that we have in our madrid that we actually refer to every year twice a year during the kingdoms on tish above and on the musavanyam kippur in the holiest day of the year when we refer to the asara ruge malchus the death of the 10 greatest men of the mishnah will put to death in such horrific horrific manner and at the death the brutal death killing of rabbi kiva that holy sage the rebbe of ravi shimaba when he was burned to death and suffering the last moments of his life says the madrid hashem the angels in shamayim turned to and asked him zusayra of zuskai was just a reward for torah this is the greatest torah scholar the greatest group of torah scholars this is the reward for such scholarship with such greatness who reached the greatest heights moshe obeyed himself when he saw bernard giving a share to his time he was pained that he didn't understand the depth of rabbiki bashir uttor bakiv finally explained the source of his torah is sinai and moshe was pacified at his death such a brutal death zeus services themselves didn't understand the select celestial angels responds to them to stop their questions to stop their shouts of services who continues to hear them he's going to turn the world back so destroy the world to beating of creation and begs the question we understand that man doesn't understand hakadosh baruch who's judgmental who's ways but the malachim why can't they understand why does narcotics broker answer them why does push them off and say if you continue asking i'll destroy the world bring it back to the beginning the beginning before gracious burial election for bria ola says the guru the villain was answering them but he's answering them when the college brokers answered them he gives explains with derek marshall there was once a poet a governor of a province in europe who was a very cruel tax collector and the jew suffered terribly under his rule and he would collect the taxes from the jews without mercy and then sent it to the king making him look like an incredible devoted follower of the king and the king would reward him and one day his wishes became true he received the letter of notification that the king wants to see him on the anniversary of his coronation where a great festive banquet takes place and the king wants to present him with a guest of honor reward for all his dedication and he was overjoyed and he traveled to italy to buy the most expensive material to make himself in a special special outfit suit befitting the guest of honor in the king's palace and he asked who was the best tailor in town and they told me is this little jew as a smaller tailor shop he's the best in the business and he went to him and he brought in the material that says i will come back in 30 days i want you to make me a suit an outfit befitting the guest of honor in the king's palace and he left the material by him and he came back three days later and he tries on the suit was incredible beautiful suit never seen anything like it and he goes home and shows it to his wife look at beautiful how beautiful i'm going to be dressed and the wife who has a love for jews was equal to her husband's and she said to him look at this a beautiful suit indeed but where's the rest of the material expensive material you bought this is only part of the material where's the rest of the material that jew stole the rest of the material he's going to sell it for a profit and the pirates is enraged and takes a suit and runs back to the tailor and says where's the extra material and the taylor system sir every ounce of material that i received that you gave me was in made for that suit there is no extra material you're a liar can't be you're a thief i'm going to punish you and finally the tailor sees he can't doesn't explain can't explain it to the pirates to the governor he takes the suit puts it on the table takes out a scissor begins to cut the suit the pockets the lapel the bad what are you doing you're ruining my suit and he continues cutting and cutting and cutting and finally he lays out the material removes the pockets and the sleeves and the cuffs and all of a sudden he lays out the material and he shows him you see the material laid out here is exactly the material that you gave me to make your suit here it is and the person says now i see that you're an honest man i see but why did you have to cut up my suit why did you have to ruin it and taylor says to him because i tried to explain to you there was no way you could comprehend of what goes into making a suit so i laid it out the way it was in the beginning before i started it now you can not only now you can understand because it says the villago and that's what i was telling even you celestial angels you think you want to understand my judgment you want to understand my ways why i am doing this for that you i have to turn the world back you have to look back from the beginning of creation and look at the entire panoramic view of the history of quality israel and then you'll understand full well why this has to happen only then will you understand in order to understand zakatesburgh's ways we need to go back to the beginning of creation which of course is impossible to do we can't even look back a day before tomorrow we have no vision to understand and therefore understanding our college brokers judgment as painful and as cruel it's seemingly that it is we have no ability to understand i recently wrote of the famous story of the ramban famed ramban arban had a young son who was so ill and he david and dave and fam and it was to no avail the doctor says he only has minutes left he went over to his son and he gave him two pieces of paper he says i want you the first piece of paper we had written down the holy names of hashem when you pass on and you go into the next world i want you to give it to the angel that is guarding all the six gates of heaven and you'll give him each one you show him each of that angel each of the gators show them this first piece of paper and when you get to the seventh and final gate you will show them the other piece of paper and on that paper the ramban had written why did this happen to me and he gave it to his son put it in his son's hand and his son passed on a few days later his son appeared to his father in a dream and he says abba father i did it exactly as you instructed and i gave the name the paper with all the sheamus i showed it to the angels and i passed through all six gates when i came to the seventh gate i took out the other piece of paper which asked the question of why did this happen to me and i was about to give it to the angel but there was no purpose because i understand full well why it happened there is no question where i am right now there was no need for that seven for the paper for the seventh gate this gate of understanding the forty five holy martyrs the kadoshanvidaran that passed on but i now have no questions where they are there are no questions they understand full well why aka who did this we were left in this temporal world we have no understanding so what should we do what we need to do is through things that zachar nishmas to do something here that we take upon ourselves there will be a skus for the future and shamans for the greatness for the alias the shamans of these great kadosham though they are already by the case they are covered by the heavenly throne but we need to do things for them for their neshama and how do we do that how do we do that i think what's important is to looking to understand a famed peerage of the sophomore on a plastic that we've probably heard and seen quoted since this happened again and again when the torah talks about the tragedy of misans schneider nehrun also in a time of incredible celebration but israel comes out of the mid-bar they go into the they come a god of it's ram coming into the desert into the midbar and they're waiting for the turret to be given and finally moshe is instructed before he passes on to build a mishkan a tabernacle the mishkan riyadh where i can dwell with this dwell a place to dwell in this world and they make the mikdash it's completed and clay israel prepares the days of seven days of celebration shivashimayam in lu and the seven days of celebration and the eighth day is going to be this incredible sanctification dedication of the miktash and the two sons of aaron who were great kadoshim elion holy people were worthy to go and do the avodah and arun instructs them to go in and they go in and they die with this celestial fire that comes down and consumes them they died and the gemara offers several different reasons what could they have done on their level that maybe would have warranted to receive a punishment on their level such a minor infraction that caused them to die al-kirsh hashem on such an incredible festive moment of clay israel and the pussac says when aaron hears that he hears of their demise the idol maharaja is silent it doesn't respond and this has become historical every time a tragedy happens vayido maharan there are no words silence sometimes is the only words and this in a celebration of meron celebration of the shurba on that very place in the midst of the celebration comes this tragedy tomorrow however there is another response beyond vayi dom aron we find that there's another reaction that that malek says which we say every day says i will sing you praises i will not be silent sometimes there is a response to tragedy of silence by either and sometimes the response to tragedy is that experienced islamism i will sing your praises hashem and i will not be silent why is there two different reactions and i thought once to explain that maybe a personal terrible time a personal terrible tragedy of the sons of our own is the the reaction is silence when it's a national tragedy was the melak whatever happened to the melee was a national tragedy and a national tragedy we don't remain silent we sing aka praises we continue singing how do we do that by doing something very special we're doing something very special we take something upon ourselves to show our devotion to in the midst of mishpotech in the midst of a mishpath that we don't understand in the time of mishra we don't have an understanding only up there is there an understanding by the seventh gate there was no need to give ramban's son didn't have to give that note but that question because the question no longer existed but we have the question in spite of our question we do we continue doing taking something upon ourselves to continue our vote to embellish our vote to something more that is something that we take upon ourselves and that's that's this miroslav there's one more thing invading maureen i mentioned is a sophomore that explains it's not silence doesn't mean sons but it means what does that mean aaron was mistaken he was comforted comforted how can our be comforted at such a tragedy of the lost of two of his four sons who was so great mushroom says they were greater than you and i together how was he how was it supposed to be silence what does it mean it's nothing where is that maybe the explanation of that is is where we do something special where something is done as a kirish hashem kleistrel began to improve their voda when they heard of the tragedy they said if it happens to them what could happen to us and they began to become greater and that kid saw that but you don't he was muslim he was comforted look at that chrysol grew as a result of it kirusha hashem came out of it that is in ahama when we do something more now we do something more we're so pained in our pain in our broken heart with tears still coming down our cheeks we take something upon ourselves that is kiddish hashem and there's no greater nahamah to the family of these 45 kadoshi alyon to know that chrysol is improving we are improving as individuals and collectively together and that is the greatest we could provide i want to conclude with one personal personal bakasha personal request it tells us that when we enter into shabbos what does our shabbos look like the way we enter shabbos is the way the queen of shabbos shabbos makassa greets us if we're happy shabbos malkasa is happy if we're sad shabbos malcolm comes in sad our shabbos is based upon how we enter shops i was thinking so much about the shabbos the shabbos after meron the shabbos after after the shabbos after it happened what was that shabbos like what was that shabbos like a veil people came straight from going from a row going straight from the available straight from hearing that their children their fathers their husbands died and they went into kadusa shabbos how did they go into shabbos with tears the queen shabbos malcolm entered with tears she has tears she has tears she responded in tears to our tears how could we go ahead and dry away the tears of shabbas i was thinking as follows and maybe this i'll end with this maybe there's something to think about i want to dry the tears of shabbos and the way to drive the tears of shabbos is that we enter shabbos maybe with something a little bit more special we always run into shabbas straight from hole to shabbat straight from work busy doing whatever we're doing shut off the computer we run into shabbos run from work no matter when shabbos is a late shop it's early shop is winter summer we're running with a bahala with confusion and shabbos we enter with confusion we want to enter i want kaleisol to enter with manuka and so i want to start the following thing and i'm going to start this the shabbos after schwarz shoppers after shows join me what i want to do is create a whatsapp which i've created called bin codes the whole which will be a four or five minute talk about shop as kadusa shop shop it's the special hash special shop what i want people to do is whenever you start shabbos when you finished your last activity the last thing you do before you turn your phone off is you put on this whatsapp and you listen to a little message of shabbos and then you shut off the phone and you go into shabbos we'll have a binko the lakotas we'll have a break a three four five minute break where we could think about shabbos we will have in our minds we'll go into shop as we'll greet the sharpest queen with thinking about shoppers feeling ready for shabbos turn us into a switch off the hull go with the shabbos it will be the switchboard that will turn us around maybe this will drive the tears of shabbos makusa who went into shabbos that shabbos afterlog but when it came into shabbos greeted clysso with tears rolling down her cheeks and therefore i asked you to join me the way to do so is by just emailing going on the email cite email at profitskymtc.com email at huffids hi-mch of etz c-h-a-i-m-tc dot com and put in your name and your phone number and we will add you to the list the whatsapp list that's growing and we're going to start this this area of shabbos right at the shores and we're going to postures not so and we're going to start anew and be able to transform be the thing that will change just walk into shabbos with a little bit more kadusa that's our response that's the kiddush hashem that we're going to do in response to this tragedy vayi domaro was misnaka and was comforted because his death of his children came brought about a kid of hashem let's bring about a kid of hashem at the death of these forty-five kitoshi eliot and that will bring an incredible nahamah to their families who are suffering so much and maybe in a comment to all of christopher as well and the ultimate we should be s wipe away all the tears of clay soil and bring an end to this mission and enter the church of kaiser and celebrate together the ultimate simcha um you
