Tu B'Shevat Tish 5784 - Singing the Praises of the Holy Land

okay okay everyone thank you everybody for coming to our annual to Bish first of all on this row we have DS the first row we have DS the second row we have shos and the third row we have and then in in the back we have mayor mayor yeah okay come sit down thank you so I want to speak today about what is appropriate to talk about on onat what are you supposed to talk about on T we know thatu at the end of his life Tau when did begin teaching so begins on the first day of the 11th month mha began teaching to CL is on the first day of when did pass away so that means at the end of his life for 36 Days 36 Days from to now another Revelation that the of Amsterdam teaches us is that saer has a certain specific number of su and has 955 SU T 955 now what did start teaching these so it says on the trans Jordan mha began explaining the T so he begins in what so the first of that teaches God told me at as follows so again the first couple of suim are giving you the date and the place but mha doesn't start actually teaching T until the sixth P that hasem told me on har saying so that's the beginning where M starts to teach he teaches until Z Z begins in is the last day of's life the seventh day of so let's calculate then how many does teach from the six until that would be very interesting so in the IM of Jacob he brings if there 955 which by the way correspond to 955 levels of the rakia 955 levels of of the raak which is interesting because Tu Bish the 15th day ofat is the day that Hashem made Mak AR the plague of the Locust the plague of the loc of locust corresponds to hashem's creating of the raak because it's the third to last Maka it's the third to last Maka and the the third statement of creation was a creation of the so tuat really it was an affirmation of the creation of the heavens because again tuat is the day that Hashem brought Mak which is the third to last Mak and the third statement of creation was there 955 levels of theak okay and mha taught these 955 Su in SA but the actual T that he began to teach on is begins in the sixth of the and it ends in for a total of 832 so over 36 daysa teaches 832 if you do the math of how many taught each day of these 36 days so it's basically he teaches 23 a day with a remainder of for okay so let's make a because that means if he teaches 23 a day what which Pim did he teach on tuat because tuat is the 15th day of his teaching of the to so the IM makes an amazing calculation that taught the following on it would probably be very telling you know what did M save for tuat to teach CL is so we go to the land that you're going to to inherit it's not like Egypt that you left there that you will plant seeds the and it will be watered by your foot K like the garden of vegetables it's not like a vegetable garden that you had in Egypt the land that you're going to inherit is a land of mountains of valleys by the rain of Heaven you will drink water it's a land it's a land that seeks out always The Eyes Of God are on it from the beginning of the year so in other words the teaches on are theim about the greatness of is as we know there's a very big connection between tuat and many try to enjoy specifically the fruits of is so it's of note and very significant that the teaches on are about the of and he goes on to explain theay the paray he teach is on okay so we're going to speak a little bit about the uh of um as we see that even dedicated to speak about the praise of it's called was written with a pen name was written by the only thing is never in history was there an individual so obviously it's a pen name the gatria of is the name of the Ben the Ben wrote this under audo name in the 418th CH he deals with a very interesting question somebody moved in Israel nearas right your brother lives inas yeah somebody moved nearas and the person is asking far from the city a few hours there's a place it's still in Israel they have Orchards there and they're very beautiful delicious and sweet fruit and even in other countries that have beautiful fruit this place has even nicer fruit my question is am I allowed to travel there to spend time to go there to enjoy the fruit maybe it's like you know too indulgent maybe it's like maybe it's too decadent it's not a it's not a proper way to spend time after all if I'm traveling there I'm going to lose time from my sadar I'm going to lose time from my learning is it proper for me to take off time to travel to this location to enjoy the fruit or maybe it's permitted you know why because it's a way of me showing love for is and therefore maybe it's a mitzvah for me to go there that's the question in other words basically is a waste of time you know I could be learning I could be daving or instead I'm going to eat big plump fruit I mean is that a good way to spend time or maybe it's a proper thing to do so the Ben says we find inar said we used to follow to eat the fruits of G how many Rim 100 Rim would travel there to eat big plump sweet fruits and and that's the only reason we went there to eat the fruits says what they go there for what was the purpose of going there to eat fruits says to show love of to eat the sweet fruits and their and they were all they're all so we see that if a person goes to a place in to enjoy the fruit of the land it's a noble thing to do so come at look I always have this question also would it be proper let's say to take off time to travel in is to see the beauty of and let's say you're doing it to really see and appreciate the it would come out that it's a noble thing to do even at the expense let's say of other so this is a a very nice chuva and then I'm going to end off I I'm going to share with you something I never even realized before a very beautiful in benching did you ever notice in we say he sustains the word what does mean his goodness in his goodness so we're referring to Hashem as first person second person or third person third third person his goodness who he gives bread first person second person third person third person he sustains the whole is third person comes the second of I thank you that you Beed and you took out and your Covenant and you're why why does the first of to hasem in third person and the second in third person the second in second person so in the saer he brings from his great-grandfather the who's one of the great brilliant Masters he says who wrote the first when did he write it when the M fell down who wrote the second ofu when did yosua write it when he got is Okay now what's the difference the says in that by the it says HEI say today to Hashem your God why did it say hasem your God why not our God why didn't Misha say our God because Hashem wasn't Misha's God he was only your God the people people who went in but he wasn't M's God why cuz if you live in is the gar says it's like you have a God if you don't live in it's like you don't have a God says anyone who lives in Israel it's like they have a god anyone who doesn't live in Israel it's like they don't have a God so therefore the first he's writing it as an outsider so he refers to God and third person yes gets into the land so part of the of of the custom of of tasting the fruits and appreciating the is to yearn to go back to is after all the gar says that the shest sign that Messiah is coming is when is blossoms with fruits that's why we ju toose says why because when we see then we know is the also talks about that when the B was destroyed the Purity and the purity of the fruits ceased there was a noticeable marked decline in in the taste and the Holiness of the fruits in Earth is and therefore the first sign mhia is coming is when you're able to taste sort of the restoration of the original taste so here we are we're gathered here to taste the fruits we're hoping that we're going to have a new flavor in the fruits and a it should be a premonition of the coming of the G so we hope to see the Fulfillment that after and all the fruits of the whole world are from then we should be everyone thank you very much yeah
