Today is the song of Hayot HaSadeh which we'll call the wild animals of the field. They say, Blessed is the One that does good for me and for others. Rav Chaim Kanievsky explains that Hayot HaSadeh are animals that damage like it says in Devarim 7, 22, " Lest the wild animals of the field overcome you," and in Vayikra 26, 22, in the curses " I will send against you the Hayat HaSadeh." Normally, people try to protect animals, even some wild ones. But wild animals that are out to destroy, people try constantly to kill and destroy them, and therefore they should have been long extinct. Like Rashi in Bereshit 1,22 says, " The Hayot need a special that they shouldn't be wiped out, " however Hashem didn't want to bless them because the snake was amongst them. Nonetheless, Hashem gives special Hashgacha to each of the species so they're not extinct, especially the ones that are most likely to become extinct. That is why they sing God is Good to us and to others . There is another explanation of why the wild animals of the field say God is good to us and to others. In Shemot 23,11 where it discusses the year of Shemitah and how you have to leave all the fruit outside, it says, let the poor eat it, and " Let the rest of it be eaten by the Hayat HaSadeh." Which means the Hayat HaSadeh are partnering with each other. It's a Halacha in Shulchan Aruch that we say HaTov/its for me, V'HaMetiv/and its good for others. When do we say this? I once heard Rav Moshe Feinstein apply this as follows (I think it's in Igrot Moshe ): A person who buys a car would technically say Shehechiyanu , as it's like a new vessel-if it's a private car. But if you buy a car for your family, then you say HaTov, He's good to me, V'Hametiv/He's good to others. That's one of the times HaTov VHaMetiv is used. And since the wild animals of the field, when they go out and scavenge, understand that they are sharing with others (imagine a possum and weasel going into your garbage), they say HaTov, God is good to me, V'Hetiv/and He's good to others. They're sharing in the wealth. That is how they survive, because they're scavengers. They don't always have someone feeding them, they eat from the overflow. I heard a beautiful, fascinating explanation from Rabbi Daniel Glatstein, citing Rav Moshe Shapiro the famed Baal Machsheva who lived in Yerushalayim until a few years ago. The Gemara in Taanit 31A tells us that one of the things that happened in Tu B'Av, one of the happiest days, is that the bodies of Beitar were able to be buried. Beitar was a large city where hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and for years their bodies were exposed and not buried, but God made a miracle and miraculously the bodies did not rot. They eventually were buried. And therefore it says on them, HaTov God is good that they didn't rot, VeHaMetiv/and He's further good that they ended up getting buried. This shows God's endearment for Jewish people. And now for the beautiful thought: Do you ever wonder why there are no piles of dead elephants in the fields? Or dead raccoons in the forest, or anything else, all over the place? We discussed this in the past, when we talked about how vultures are the sanitation department of creation. They come and they clean everything up and they have special beaks with the ability to crack bones. But even after the vultures come and take everything apart, there are still a lot of liquids leftover. Those bodily fluids make the ground very soft, eventually soft enough that whatever leftovers there are of this animal, such as the bones that they don't eat, get absorbed into the ground. That is the burial of the Hayot HaSadeh . Because these wild animals get buried, their song to Hashem is HaTov VHaMetiv. Tov because they don't rot- because the vultures come and clean them up, which is respectful, and VeHametiv-that they are eventually buried. This shows us that even those animals who weren't blessed, God has a heart for them as well. He didn't bless them because the snake was amongst them, but they are part of creation and they sing the song about HaTov VeHametiv . What a fascinating, beautiful thought.

A side-step away from the laws of inheritance, to address the nature of the 15th of Av and also Yom Kippur. Which of course leads back to the daughters of Tzlofchad and the matter of marrying only within their own tribe. Plus, events that are attributed to taking place on Tu B'Av -- and a review of the story of Beitar. Also, 7 people whose lives overlapped and thereby cover the entirety of Jewish history.

In this episode, I talk to Rebbetzin Malka Friedman from Beitar, Israel. We discuss Elul and how to develop a genuine relationship with Hashem, as well as the current situation in Israel and its impact on this Yamim Noraim season.

This evening we explore what we as Jews may not eat due to health risks, including the most baffling example of prohibiting eating fish together with meat. I tell the story of my involvement with DESK (Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen in New Haven, CT) and a blessing made by Brother Dennis and me. Then we explore why in Jewish law the blessings before eating are short, while blessings after eating are much longer. We explain this according to Rabbi S.R. Hirsch, based on the context of the verses in our Parsha - when we are most satisfied, we run the greatest risk of forgetting God, so then we must focus our gratitude at that moment, and we see this demonstrated by a poem by Emily Dickinson. We analyze one blessing after eating where we thank God for what we received and also for our deficiencies. It is only because I have deficiencies that I need you, and vice versa. Everyone has deficiencies that force us to need each other and form families and communities. Finally we analyze the 4th paragraph of Birkat HaMazon (grace of meals) written and established to remember the double miracle of those warriors of Bar Kochbah killed in Beitar. The opportunity to bury them only years later leads to a message that we hold dear throughout our long exile and dispersal, and has more meaning for us today than ever before.

התוכן ענינו המיוחד של ט"ו באב מפורש בסיום מס' תענית "לא היו יו"ט לישראל כחמשה עשר באב וכיוהכ"פ, שבהן בנות ישראל יוצאות וכו'". ובכל שנה חוזרים ונפעלים כל הענינים הקשורים עם ט"ו באב. ויתירה מזו: ע"פ ציווי התורה "מעלין בקודש" – מובן שמידי שנה נוסף עילוי בזה. וענין זה מודגש גם גם ע"פ המשך דברי הגמ' שאר ד' או ה' הטעמים על היו"ט דט"ו באב הקשורים עם מאורעות שאירעו החל מהתקופה שבה היו בנ"י במדבר – "כלו מתי מדבר", ועד התקופה שלאחרי חורבן בית שני – "יום שניתנו הרוגי ביתר לקבורה". ולכאו', מכיון שבהיות בנ"י במדבר הי' כבר ט"ו באב יום של שמחה, למה זקוקים לטעמים נוספים?! ועד ל-ה' או ו' טעמים! והביאור – בפשטות: כאשר ישנו מאורע נוסף של שמחה – אזי השמחה היא גדולה יותר. ונמצא, שמהזמן שט"ו באב נקבע ליו"ט בהיות בנ"י במדבר – הנה מזמן לזמן ניתוספה שמחה בט"ו באב – "מעלין בקודש"!משיחת אור לט"ו באב ה'תשמ"ג ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=19-08-2024 Synopsis The significance of the 15th of Av is explained at the end of Masechta Taanis, “There were no festivals for the Jewish people like the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur, on which the daughters of the Jewish people would go out etc.” Every year, the theme of the 15th of Av recurs, and moreover, in accordance with the requirement to “ascend in holiness” – it becomes greater every year. We see this in the fact that the Gemara gives five reasons for the celebration of the 15th of Av, including events spanning the time from when the Jewish people were in the desert (“the deaths in the desert ceased”) until after the destruction of the second Beis Hamikdash (“the slain of Beitar were brought to burial”). Seemingly, if the 15th of Av was already a Yom Tov in the time of the desert, why do we need additional reasons? The answer is simple: when you have more causes for celebration, the celebration is greater. Thus, from the first time the 15th of Av was established as Yom Tov in the desert, the celebration continues to increase, “ascending in holiness.”Excerpt from sichah of 15 Av 5743 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=19-08-2024 לזכות ר' זאב הכהן וזוגתו מרת פריידא הינדא שיחיו טייטלבוים ליובל החתונה שלהם ביום חמשה עשר באבלברכה והצלחה בכל הענינים ‏בגו"ר

TORAH PORTION Deuteronomy 4:25–40, HAFTARAH Jeremiah 8:13–9:23, APOSTLES Luke 19:41–48. The Fast of Av (Tisha B'Av) is the biblical “fast of the fifth month” (Zechariah 7:3; 8:19) and lasts from sunset to sunset. It's the saddest day of the year, when many tragedies happened. But in the Final Redemption, it will be turned into a festival. Today in History: All the men of fighting age who rebelled and refused to go into the Promised Land were condemned to wander 40 years and die in the wilderness (tradition, Numbers 14). In the year 586 BCE, the Babylonians destroyed the first Holy Temple (see 2 Kings 25:9). In the year 70 CE, the Romans burned down the second Holy Temple. In 133 CE, the Romans crushed the Jewish “Bar Kochba” revolt at the city of Beitar. In 1290 CE, King Edward I forced all Jewish people to leave England. In 1492 CE, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled all Jewish people from Spain. In 1941 CE, just before the 9th of Av, the German Nazis decide to try to kill all Jews. In 1942 CE, the Nazis began taking masses of Jews from Warsaw, Poland to kill them in camps. This week's portion is called: Va'Etchanan (I pleaded). Think about: What Scripture spoke to you most today and why? Did you learn something about God, or something you need to do in your life?

Welcome to this special episode of “Daily Bread for Kids,” where kids take turns reading through Lamentations. The Ninth of Av is the saddest day of the year on the Hebrew Calendar. Both of God's Holy Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed on this day. This year has been extra sad with war in Israel. It is custom in Israel to read the Scroll of Lamentations, which the Prophet Jeremiah wrote when he saw the destruction of the First Holy Temple. God promises that one day he will turn the Ninth of Av into a happy festival. Until then, we mourn with those who mourn. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

The Talmud's Taanit 29a says that Tisha B'Av is a day of mourning because God metaphorically said, 'Since you cried for no reason, I'll give you something to cry about!' . Tisha B'Av commemorates five calamities that the Jewish nation has experienced: • The sin of the spies 
Before the Israelites entered the land of Israel, 12 spies explored the land and brought a bad report to Moses, causing the Jews in the desert to refuse to enter. 

 • Destruction of the First Temple 
In 586 BCE, the Babylonians, led by Nebuchadnezzar, destroyed the First Temple built by King Solomon. The Talmud says the destruction began on the Ninth of Av and continued throughout the Tenth of Av. 

 • Destruction of the Second Temple 
In 70 CE, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple built by Ezra and Nehemiah. 

 • Destruction of Beitar 
In 135 CE, the Romans suppressed the Bar Kokhba revolt and destroyed the city of Beitar, killing over 500,000 Jews. 

 • Plowing of the Temple Mount 
Roman general Turnus Rufus plowed the Temple area in Jerusalem, rebuilding the city as a pagan city. 

 לָכֵן֙ בִּגְלַלְכֶ֔ם צִיּ֖וֹן שָׂדֶ֣ה תֵֽחָרֵ֑שׁ וִירוּשָׁלַ֙͏ִם֙ עִיִּ֣ין תִּֽהְיֶ֔ה וְהַ֥ר הַבַּ֖יִת לְבָמ֥וֹת יָֽעַר׃ {פ} Assuredly, because of youZion shall be plowed as a field,Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruinsAnd the Temple Mount a shrine in the woods. Rabbi Yosef Bitton writes: . The least known of these tragedies is also one of the most relevant, as in some way, the relevance of this act is still present. I refer to the 'plowing of the city' of Jerusalem (חרישת העיר) in the year 130 CE. To understand why the city was plowed—and what this meant at the time—we must review what happened after the Romans destroyed the Second Temple (year 68 CE).

Maharal Netzach Yisroel Chapter 7 Part 1- The Fall of Beitar by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

Vladimir Jabotinsky founds one of the most important youth movements in Jewish history.

One of the great benefits we have with emunah is that no matter what it may seem, we know there's always a possibility of us getting what we need because we have Hashem and He is unlimited. Without emunah, if someone sees a big obstacle in the way of what He wants and it seems almost impossible to overcome, he'll most likely just give up. But with emunah, the person will try to think of ways in which he can access Heavenly mercy, whether it's tefila or Tehillim or any other good deeds. I read a few stories in a hashgacha peratit journal from people whose salvations seemed very unrealistic, but after their tefilot , they became very realistic. I'll share a couple of them. The first was about two friends who we'll call Yosef and Binyamin. They both owned apartments in Beitar, but their Rebbe lived in Yerushalayim and they preferred to live next to him. So they both rented out their apartments in Beitar and used the rent money to rent apartments for themselves in Yerushalayim . As their families grew, their rental apartments became too small and they knew they had to move. They wanted to buy suitable apartments in Yerushalayim , but the prices were way too high for them. Yosef told Binyamin, “Anything is possible, let's pray for each other to find affordable apartments that will fit our needs.” Besides for praying, they chose perek 77 in Tehillim to say every day because it speaks about living in Israel. They prayed every day with a lot of kavanah over a period of six months. Yosef was not able to find anything that worked, but then suddenly an idea hit him. The apartment he was renting was owned by the neighbor who lived right next door. If he would be able to combine both apartments, they would definitely fit his family. He spoke to the owner about it, who was actually willing to sell. The price, however, was way too high for him. The owner wanted 2.6 million shekel. Yosef told him he could sell his apartment in Beitar and add some more funds from his own money, but it would not come close to that number. The owner then said he does not live a life of Torah and mitzvot and neither do his children. He was worried about not having merits for the World to Come. He said, “I know you're very religious and you'll use these apartments to do an abundance of mitzvot. This could be my zechut . I will sell you both for 1.4.” With that, they closed the deal. Yosef told Binyamin about his amazing yeshua and that gave Binyamin chizuk to keep trying himself. A short time after that, he went to look at an apartment and saw a large picture of a great tzaddik hanging on one of the walls. It was his wife's grandfather. While he and his wife were admiring the picture, the elderly woman who owned the apartment asked them if they knew him. They replied yes, they were his grandchildren. The woman then said she was very connected to that tzaddik . When her husband passed away twenty years before, he was the one who advised her to move to Israel. Now, she had to move back to America. She said it would be such a zechut for her if his grandchildren would purchase the apartment. She mentioned it was worth more than 2.5 million shekel, but she would accept less from them. They said they could afford 1.6 and right away she said okay. With tefila and Tehillim , these men were able to fulfill their dream of owning apartments in Yerushalayim , even though it seemed very unrealistic. One other story about an apartment in Israel. A man told that in the building in which he lived, there was a very nice apartment that was vacant. For years, it had been rented out, but after the last tenant moved on, it remained empty. Many people wanted to buy it, but the owner wouldn't hear of it. He would always tell them, “This apartment is for rent, not for sale.” People offered high sums, but it was always rejected. Among those who wanted the apartment was a precious avrech who was looking for an apartment in that area. This one was perfect for him and his family in so many ways. But of course, the owner told them the same thing, “It's not for sale.” He decided he was going to talk to the Real Owner about it. He said the entire Tehillim and then prayed from the depths of his heart for Hashem to enable him to buy it. The next time he called the owner, he explained to him why it would make more sense for him to sell than to rent, especially since he was no longer a young man. For the first time, he said he would ask his lawyer. The lawyer agreed and he told the avrech he would sell it to him. Amazingly, his offer was accepted for much less than others had offered previously. When people found out the apartment was being sold, they immediately called the owner and offered more money, but he refused, saying he already gave someone else his word. With Hashem involved, everything is possible.

This afternoon (7/27/23), immediately after my Tishah b'Av shiur on Kinnah #11, we initiated a new shiur/chavurah on a midrash about the sin that destroyed the city of Beitar. After analyzing that midrash, we compared it to the Gemara's view of which sin destroyed Beitar. We took up a few more topics and questions after that, but then my body signaled to me that after giving 5.5 hours of shiur over the course of Tishah b'Av morning and afternoon, it was time to abruptly stop. But at least we got in some more learning! -----מקורות:איכה רבה ד:יח [כא]עץ יוסףגיטין דף נה עמוד ב - דף נז עמוד ארמב"ם - איגרת לקהל מרשילייא, על אצטגנינות ומזלרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות תעניות א:א-גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות שבת ב:גרמב"ם - פירוש המשניות ראש השנה א:ג-----The Torah content for the month of July has been sponsored by the Richmond, VA learning community, “with appreciation for Rabbi Schneeweiss's stimulation of learning, thinking, and discussion in Torah during his scholar-in-residence Shabbos this past June.” Thank YOU, Richmond, for your warmth, your curiosity, and your love of Torah!

Onkelos the convert was the nephew of Titus. He went and raised Titus, Bilam and others from the dead and asked them questions about the Jews and the punishments they each received for their actions. The Mount of the King was destroyed because of a rooster and a hen. How and why were the people of Kfar Sichniya in Egypt destroyed? Beitar was destroyed (during the Bar Kochva rebellion) on account of a shaft of a carriage. Zecharia the prophet was assassinated by the Jews who did not want to accept his rebuke. After his death, his blood was boiling and rising from the Temple floor and wouldn't stop. This led Nevuzaraden (in the destruction of the first Temple) to slaughter millions of Jews until his death was avenged. Nevuzaraden ultimately converted to Judaism as did the descendants of Haman and Sanchereb who became Torah scholars (among them, Shemaya and Avtalion). There are five different explanations of the verse "For you we have died all of the day" - some relate to stories of the destruction (the children who were taken by boat to engage in prostitution who committed suicide, seven sons of one woman who were killed for not bowing down to idols) and others to circumcision and learning Torah.

Everyone is tested on their own level and most of the time the tests appear to come about so naturally that we don't even realize they are being sent by Hashem. Very often, Hashem has bonuses that He wants to give us and it is precisely through our overcoming of a test that we are able to access them. We are only able to see the bonuses that we actually get, but we will never know about all of those bonuses we could have gotten had we acted the way we were supposed to when we were put to the test. A man who lives in Beitar said, a week before Pesach he decided to go to the kever of Rav Shayale of Keristir. This man works as an air conditioning installer and felt the need to clear his mind and rest up a bit before the Yom Tov. Just before his flight, his travel agent called asking for a favor. He said he booked a trip for a couple to go to the kever, but the driver who was supposed to pick them up from the airport there just canceled. He was asking if he could possibly give them a ride there. The man said it was very hard for him to agree to this request. His sole purpose in taking this trip was to clear his mind. He was looking forward to the quiet, long highways in Europe with scenery that has a very calming effect. He wanted privacy, but he overcame his inclination and agreed to do the chesed. In the end, this couple recited Tehillim throughout the entire ride and did not disturb him at all. At the end of the journey, they made small talk and the man he was driving said to him he was a contractor and was in the process of preparing dozens of apartments for immediate occupancy and was just about to look for somebody to install all of the air conditioning. This man got the job and earned 200,000 shekels as a result. Hashem set him up with that test to see if he'll overcome his natural inclination and do that chesed. And through that, he was able to access the additional bonus that Hashem had waiting for him. I read a story in a book called Kan Sipur about a man named Gary who was raised in a totally secular family. After high school he attended UCLA for college. There, he was very active in extracurricular programs. In his senior year, he decided to run for president of a certain council. During that very same year, he also got involved with the campus's Chabad House. He went there many Friday nights to enjoy a Shabbat meal. And during the week, he would stop in now and then to learn with the rabbi. Eventually, he became very interested in religion. He genuinely loved every minute he spent at the Chabad House. Most of his free hours, however, were devoted to the election. One Friday night, while talking to the rabbi, Gary mentioned how inspired he became and expressed interest in committing to doing one mitzvah. Shabbat and kashrut were too drastic for him to start with, so he suggested wearing a very small, discreet kipa. The rabbi wasn't sure if that was the right thing for him to do, being that it would involve a certain amount of peer pressure. Throughout the following weeks, Gary observed the college campus and saw how everybody else had no problem expressing their freedom of religion, wearing whatever religious articles that they felt they should be wearing, so he decided he would start slow and commit to wearing a kipa for a small part of the day. Then came his big test. It was the night of the presidential debate. At that debate, there were going to be 1000 students in attendance and none of them had ever seen him wearing a kipa yet. He decided he was proud to be Jewish and he would put it on for the debate. It was the hardest decision that he had ever made in 22 years. He did a great job that night but was a little surprised when none of those who worked so hard with him on the election came over to congratulate him afterward. He knew it was because of the kipa, but he didn't regret the decision. Then, a young woman approached him and said, “I've been following you throughout this election and never would have guessed that you are a religious Jew. It must have been challenging for you to put on that kipa tonight, since you haven't worn it until now. The reason I'm bringing this up is because I, too, am Jewish and I've been struggling on whether or not to take the next step in religion. I want to learn how you were able to overcome your struggle.” This young woman became Gary's wife and, today, they are happily married, raising a religious family and recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. Gary said, “That decision to put on my kipa that night wasn't easy, but it turned out to be the best decision of my life. That is how Hashem brought me to my wife.” The tests in life may be difficult, but no matter what, we always gain when we choose correctly.

In December 2020, an Israeli football club made worldwide headlines. The news that a UAE royal had bought 50 per cent of Beitar's shares shook Israel and the football world. Beitar, proclaimed by some of its own fans as 'the most racist club in the country', is a club like no other in Israel. While Israeli football as a whole is a space where Israelis of all ethnicities and foreigners can co-exist, Beitar won't even sign a Muslim player for fear of its own far-right supporters' group, La Familia.  On the Border: The Rise and Decline of the Most Political Club in the World (Pitch Publishing, 2022) is the fascinating tale of a club that began as a sports movement of a liberal national Zionism party and became an overt symbol of right-wing views, Mizrahi identity and eventually hardcore racism and nationalism. The book explores the radicalisation of Beitar and the fight for the soul of the club between the racists and open-minded fans. It is also a story of Jerusalem, the most volatile place on Earth, and how the holy city and the influence of religion have shaped Beitar. Founded in 1936, the club took its name from a Zionist organization set up in 1923 by students in the capital of Latvia, Riga, following a visit by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the Zionist Revisionist and founder of the para­military group Irgun. Beitar's story mirrors that of its city. For thirty years, under the British Mandate, impoverished young Mizrahim (Jews from Arab countries) had kicked a ball around Jerusalem's Musrara neighbourhood with Arab friends. The war of 1948 changed that. Subsequent events sharpened the divide, leading to the unrepentant racism of La Familia, Beitar “ultras” who began by making monkey noises at a player from Cameroon and graduated to chants threatening death to Arabs. Employing violence and intimi­dation, they ensured no Muslim could play for Beitar, thereby betraying a key element of Jabotinsky's scheme – equality for Arabs.

The challenge of Tisha B'Av is that we are being called upon to feel the pain of the loss of the Beis HaMikdash when we have never experienced the Beis HaMikdash. What we can feel is the pain of the shechina who longs to have a place in our world once again. Feeling the pain of another requires a strong sense of self which can only come from tapping in to the Godly soul that dwells within each of us. In this shiur, delivered at NCSY Kollel on Tisha B'Av, Rav Burg takes us through three stories, the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza, the story of Tur Malka, and the story of Beitar, amd shows how in each of these stories a lack of self expressed itself in the lack of feeling for another.

It is also a story of Jerusalem and how the holy city and the influence of religion have shaped Beitar. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Over the past few episodes we looked at correlations between the sharp sickles of Passover, specifically the First Fruits of the Barley, and the sharp sickles of Revelation Fourteen. Within that passage of Revelation, we read a very specific prophecy: And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. Then another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trampled outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of 1,600 stadia. (Re 14:17-20) Yeshua harvests for Firstfruits of the Barley and Shavuot, the conclusion of human “wheat.” The angel of fire harvests those from the Vineyard as well as the vineyard of the whole earth to throw them into the winepress of Sukkot, when the decrees of Rosh HaShanah are executed upon the whole world. Sukkot is also known as “The Feast of the Nations.” One may enjoy the Feast of the Nations with Yeshua, or one may be part of a nation consumed by his wrath. As we've seen, the prophecies of Scripture are fulfilled multiple times in history. Often there are textual markers, such as a doubled word or repetition within the text, or sometimes a chiasm. Blood up to the horses' bridles is a very precise prophecy, and it leads the reader to a previous fulfillment. In the last stand of the Jews who followed Bar Kokhba, a false messiah, the Romans massacred the inhabitants of Beitar. According to the lone survivor of the massacre, the blood in Beitar ran up to the Roman horses' noses. That leads to the Footsteps prophecy of Song of Songs, which prophesies the “turn” of Messiah on the mountains to meet with his Beloved Israel. 2:17 Until the cool of the day, when the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether. The mountains of Bether are an odd location because they are not mentioned anywhere else in Scripture, and even the Romans' massacre there was far in the future when first prophesied in the Song. There must have been a singular event in history that would mark a step of Messiah's turning to his Beloved.

One of the most influential leaders in the history of the State of Israel, Menachem Begin (1913-1992) led a very colorful life and career. Though known for his public persona, he was a very complex character who faced many setbacks at every stage. Growing up in a somewhat traditional home in Brisk, he later joined the Beitar movement of Revisionist Zionism led by Vladimir (Zev) Jabotinsky. Arrested by the Soviets in the early part of the war, he was sentenced to slave labor in Siberia. In the interim, the Holocaust arrived in Brisk, and most of his family became its victims. The long shadow of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust would accompany him throughout his decades of public service, and would impact his decisions as a leader of both the underground and later as a politician.  He emerged as the leader of the underground organization Etzel (Irgun), with the stated goal of forcing the British out of Palestine. With the founding of the State of Israel, he spent three decades in the opposition, leading campaigns against the reparations agreement with West Germany and the like, until finally winning the elections in 1977.  Though he accomplished much as prime minister, including a historic peace treaty with Egypt, the unfolding disaster of the Lebanon War led to his retirement and ultimate seclusion during his later years.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:    PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com
