In this week's
in
the Gmorrah speaks about goes on the
Mishna when these areas
you're supposed to be goatinus.
We'll see soon why the title connects to
this week's stuff. But the Mishna
Gomorrah explains goes on the mish
you're supposed to fast make a time
during
like the the examples
speaks about on that you're supposed to
make a a fast
for an example during co
I don't think there was even a half a
minute to do it and sak of anybody
fasting but the concept is clear on
parosa and different times you're
supposed to make a a fast day why a fast
day so the
explains just going to quote one line
why the ra explains to do chuva to do
chuva
that sorus come because of so to do
chuva mak
this den to illustrate to bring it out
of lisa I'm just going to read two
letters of the that happened and around
in the 20s
two different incidents that the writes
to be msak and a tinus a tinus for then
bash
one says
and cloud has to get involved
says
the right thing would be she is
thead of all of get together
tinus claw to make a tinus sra we're
familiar with the tinus saravas
this that we learn this week the mission
is
saying then and the right thing would be
is for all of Israel to get together and
make a tin however he says it's not
practical you need authorization from
the government then and it's not so
mainly says everybody every for
themselves should pick a day and be aus
says
and we We picked
but just to bring out this that we're
learning is
clearly
and then he says every city should pick
their time for when whenus
in a different letter this is in which
is the back of
in a different letter the
says This is an igressor says
close to 3 million
says it's unbelievable.
This is what we're learning.
you're supposed to fast.
So that's to bring out the concept to
know what we learned the Gmorrah the
Mishna the Gmorra is that if
you're supposed to fast
the time the fast that we fast now
Shivas
hopefully tishab we're not going to fast
it's going to be a moy it's going to be
a
We're going to make a suda. But the
concept of tyus
one would think that a tyus is
onetavis
that they surrounded shasabus that they
broke the wall the five things we spoke
about what happened
says theam
that that's not it's not the shot that
we fast of what happened
He says the can't make up a new a new
idea.
This is the famous because it's a he
says it's so we're not going to go into
it now but
such a thing of a fast day.
So you do find such a thing
is not a sad day. As a matter of fact,
we make a with the beginning what is a
chuva to do. So says theam and he shows
a raam
the raam at the beginning of the fifth
perom says yes
that people fast.
But why why do we fast? Why did we fast
now?
The reason we fast is to be
how how does it accomplish that?
How how will we accomplish that? Because
when you fast, you think
why am I fasting? Because of the
happened and it causes that we should do
chuva that the Torah shouldn't happen
again. So the tightness
the tiness that we fast is not a
tightness of something that happened.
It's just something that happened that
reminds us that what we're fasting now
is that happened that we should do
chuva. It shouldn't happen again
says that's why you see that we say
on a day of att
there's no to tell us to be sad what
happened why we're being sad it's to do
chuva The whole of is with the says the
same and the says that onus the of is
also for.
So what comes out before we continue on
what comes out very clearly that what we
learned over here that to be
and the time that we actually fastim
is all the same idea to do
after World War II after the Holocaust
there was a big discussion of maybe
adding in a yinness.
a Yinus
obviously the Yinus
wouldn't be as a memorial of the
Holocaust but actually the concept just
like we have the other that we fast and
remember the sor that happened and do
chuva now the same thing to be one day a
year a day to fast on the six million
kadosh that were killed aes to remember
that and fast whatever day it will be to
remember to do chuva.
The in a letter writes very strongly
against it not to be covea tus and he
says a tiness that we have the tan that
we have came about
from the nim.
gave us a mitzvah how he says it a
mitzvah of tus
we don't have we can't be a mitzvah of
time of course like what we mentioned
before from the that where did the get
the idea of the mitzvah from but they
extended it to other we can't go on beh
a new mitzvah of tus
[Music]
they bring from the briskarov the
briskarov was asked the same thing about
being titus and the briskarov said
that in the kinus on tishov it's already
mvatu
where do you see
that we say on tishab in the morning the
kina says just understand this kina
doesn't speak about mikdash it speaks
about the crusaders
doesn't speak about the abias
during within the kina the kina asks he
asks a question.
It's very interesting. Why am I speaking
about different sorus not?
That's what he asks. And he says, you
know why?
You can't add on out of tishov.
You can't add on out of tishov
another day
of so to speak of morning of and
therefore that's why I plugged it in in
tishov.
This is the answer.
You can add on. So if you can't add on
we don't add on another day. There's no
other day of tiness to be mishonor on
the Holocaust. That's what the Briskarov
said. It's interesting to note the exact
same thing was said also from the
freela.
They asked him the question. They asked
him about adding onus
and he said it says in they didn't know
where it says and he said he showed them
right here in the kid of
Agav
you see
what a level it is when saying the kinus
not only to understand when we're saying
the kinus but even they remembered it as
remembering that the risks brought a ri
from the kinus not not to be moatinus
Raosha also has a chuva about it and
Raosha
was asked the same question. was asked
if to add we should add
again this whole discussion is not the
we learn now
he were talking about after
if there would have been a discussion
during World War II if to make a
so there wouldn't be any of this
discussion you're now the Gmorra says
this is later to plug in a day of what
happened.
Ramosa was asked this question and
Ramosa answered
with a question.
He said you cannot be you can add a
tiny. So he says how could it be you
can't add a tinus? We see is
we once spoke about it over here the
whole history and the background
and
it's a tinus. So what are you telling
me? can add just like they made it there
and
so let's make a tinus now after the
holocaust
and this is an explanation
why we don't add another day of tus why
the says but why not why zakra
All sorus
inal
is all a offshoot of that we don't have
a bas mikdash because we don't have a b
mikdash
we don't have dv we don't have the
carbonid
these all that sus sicknesses everything
that happens is all because he's not
based on mikdash if there be mikdash you
would be no would be no sorus
says her like this
because anything of any sorrow that
happened is always included in tishab
it's included in tishab when we're being
misable
on the base included in that is any
other because that comes from the
so you're going to ask me what happened
out
should also be so said was something
that happened to a certain
it wasn't a for all of Kalia it happened
in Ukraine
he says that there were different
governments that tried to get involved
to stop the very interesting Mosha
writes goes through a bit of the history
therefore being that it's a that's only
for certain of but it's not a throughout
kl therefore that kahila couldn't adopt
that it should be a uh yus
I'll call upon him what do we have so
far very clearly
to bea tus during that's
the tan that we have is the same idea
also to be mov
to make a tinus after on its sur that
Because we see over here from the not to
do it
just one more pointer to go to isabi
adding in kenus.
What's about adding a kenus
for what happened world war?
a kindness we saw like it says in the
so first of all to read the of the
says in general
that you could add your own keness he's
speaking about but you can add your own
keness says
He doesn't say about adding a kinos
about World War II, but he says any
person could add on tish of his own. He
could add his own kino
that'll be in the
to mourn to be
on
says it's not what we have the
rashi says
I'm just pulling out the words that are
relevant
says Rashi just like we add in
the crusade the time of Rashi that's
that kina actually
so we add in other other kenas other
notas
Rebna's son
he's already not live
was his oldest son who took him over.
He his ry is from that kina itself that
the kina says
but even though you can't be mo of a
different day of tess or a different day
to be
however on tish of itself that piece
doesn't speak about the so you see it
could be
this concept of being
pieces
kenos into the kino
Abalant
was a big discussion
in the 1980s.
Somebody by the name of Herzka. He was
the one who made a tol about it. He went
around
and these hamas from
throughout
pro to add in to people that could write
up should ride up a kina about the
holocaust about World War II. I have a
list of some
of the
just the I wrote it down
many many signed
with approving the idea of adding it of
writing it writing a kinoa
I have a collection I I got I put
together of some of the different kina
that koist that people wrote
Some of them actually very famous. One
of them the Bob Rebba wrote a kino.
It's actually
this we print we give out over here but
just it's a it's a very easy to read. He
speaks about what happened and it's
interesting actually in one of the
pieces
he writes that the was a throughout for
the for the
throughout all he in other words it was
a sorrow throughout all of Klus
Schwab
Schwab wrote a kina actually I met his
anicle last night he gave me a copy of
it I mean it's it's available could and
some printed some of the kinis. Um,
Rebosner Vosnner wrote it actually in
1984. He was in Switzerland. He wrote up
he wrote a kina
their lawyer of among others that wrote
wrote a a kina out of copies or whoever
you know wants to take a look.
It's interesting to note however
that
at the time was against it
explained it's true what we saw
that on tishabove you should add
pieces of kenos that reflect other turus
and clal
however
if today
there's going to be a takan on cli to
add this. Tomorrow there's going to be a
takana to add something else. And the
third day there's going to be a takana
to take off something to make David do
shorter. So nei wrote it's written of he
says very stark not to not to add
anything
just also to read one line
I'm skipping around
today anyone thinks they understand red
I have to speak out about it
that people young people come and they
start making takas and adding things in.
So may he was opposed not to
not to make new kenas.
But just to point out on this shak said
not to these a letter that just went out
now went out that was actually on
auction but a letter from Vosner who he
himself wrote one about the Holocaust.
He writes in the letter I have a copy of
the letter. He writes that I spoke to
Abshak and I explained to him
it's not that we're making a takalia
stroll that everybody has to pick one
kino in other words to stick it in that
this is now there used to be 40 pieces
this is the piece 41 but actually
everybody should choose
a piece that's that they could connect
to to be misfer
writes also he opposes the concept of
being to put in a certain kino
that should be part of it though we find
in this of they did add him today we're
not on the level to add something that
all of should adopt however to say that
all of
should choose to say something to
remember that yeah
So just to conclude and go back to the
point we spoke about we started off and
we spoke about
that that's definitely the tanason that
we have is the same idea to remember to
remember and do to add a tinus to add a
tinus on what happened we saw from the
however to add a kina to remember to add
an a tishabove of
almost all the definitely to do so and
if someone could connect these certain
these many different kenus that were
written up to remember
if somebody could say of course you
should say have a wonderful shabas
