How does the music fit with the words? Why isn't Av the lowest of the months? How could the happiest day of the year be less than a week from the saddest day?

התוכן עשרת הדברות [שברביעי דפ' ואתחנן], שהתחלתן היא ב"אנכי ה' אלקיך" וסיומן ב"לא תתאווה .. וכל אשר לרעך", נאמרו בפרטיות ובאופן ברור דוקא – בשש מאות ועשרים אותיות, כנגד תרי"ג מצוות בתורה וז' מצוות דרבנן. וההוראה הברורה: כשם שצריכים להיות זהיר בקיום ציווי הקב"ה ש"בין אדם ומקום" – "אנכי ה' אלקיך", כך באותה מדה צריכים להיות זהיר בכל הענינים שבהמשך העשה"ד, גם הענינים שהם לכאו' שייכים רק לחבירו, "בין אדם לחבירו", ואפי' אם מדובר לא בנשמתו וגופו של חבירו אלא בנכסיו, ואפי' נכסים לא יקרים – "וכל אשר לרעך". וע"י ההוספה בקיום הוראה זו, ממהרים ומזרזים קיום בקשת משה להכנס לארץ ישראל, "ואתחנן וגו'", בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה תיכף ומיד ממש. א' השיחות יום ד' פ' ואתחנן, י"ג מנחם-אב, ה'תנש"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-08-2025 Synopsis The Aseres HaDibros (in revi'i of parashas Va'eschanan) begin with “I am Hashem your G-d” and conclude with “You shall not desire…anything that belongs to your fellow,” and they are specifically stated in detail and clearly, in six hundred and twenty letters, corresponding to the 613 Biblical mitzvos and the seven Rabbinic mitzvos. The clear lesson is that just as one must be careful to fulfill Hashem's command in matters that are between man and G-d (“I am Hashem your G-d”), so must one be equally careful with all of the Aseres HaDibros, including those that are seemingly matters between man and his fellow. This applies not only when it comes to another Jew's soul or body, but even when it comes to his possessions, and even unvaluable possessions – “…and anything that belongs to your fellow.” By increasing in our fulfillment of this directive, we hasten the fulfillment of Moshe's request to enter Eretz Yisroel, “Va'eschanan (‘I entreated Hashem at that time')…,” with the true and complete Redemption literally right now.Sichah from Wednesday, parashas Va'eschanan, 13 Menachem-Av 5751.

התוכן איתא במדרש "בשבעה בחודש . . נכנסו נכרים להיכל ואכלו ושתו וקלקלו בו". התורה מספרת זאת כדי שזכרון הדברים יביא לתיקון סיבת החורבן ובדרך ממילא ייבטל המסובב. ועפמ"ש במדרש "בא וראה כמה חביבין תינוקות לפני הקב"ה . . כיון שגלו תינוקות גלתה שכינה עמהן", מובן, שכשילדי ישראל יתנהגו באופן כזה ש"לא מגיע" להם להיות בגלות, ייצאו ביחד עם כל בנ"י מהגלות ושכינה עמהם. 2) הוראה ממ"ש בשיעור תהלים היומי "אבואה אל מזבח אלקים . . מה תהמי עלי הוחילי לאלקים וגו'" – כשיהודי מתחיל "לתמוה" איך אפשר שלאחרי מאות שנה בגלות יבוא משיח צדקנו ברגע א' – אומרים לו "הוחילי לאלקים" – ברור שע"י הבטחון בה' "אבואה אל מזבח אלקים וגו'" תיכף ומיד!ב' חלקים מהשיחות יום א' פ' ואתחנן, ז' מנחם-אב ה'תש"מ, להתלמידים ולהתלמידות שיחיו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=01-08-2025 Synopsis The Midrash states, “On the seventh of the month…gentiles entered the Sanctuary, and they ate and drank and desecrated in it.” The Torah tells us this so that by remembering these events, we will correct the cause of the destruction, and then automatically the destruction will be undone. When Jewish children conduct themselves in such a way that they don't deserve to be in exile, they will leave the exile, together with the entire Jewish people and together with the Shechinah, as the Midrash states, “Come and see how beloved children are before the Holy One, blessed be He…when the children were exiled, the Shechinah was exiled with them.” (2) Today's Tehillim states, “And I will come to the altar of G-d…Why are you downcast, my soul, and why are you perturbed within me? Hope to G-d…” – when a Jew is perturbed and wonders how it's possible that after hundreds of years in exile Moshiach Tzidkeinu will arrive in a single moment, he is told, “Hope to G-d” – it is clear that by trusting in Hashem, “I will come to the altar of G-d…” literally right now.2 excerpts from Sunday, parashas Va'eschanan, 7 Menachem-Av 5740 – to children For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=01-08-2025 לזכות שיינא בת מושקא שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה ז' מנחם-אב - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

*The 5th of Menachem Av: Hilulo of the Arizal Hachai*:453 years The voice file is comprised of 3 voice files which were originally posted in our "Zichronos of the Rebbe" Group. Listening time is about 25 + mins. Due to its length you may need to download it to a computer. 

התוכן 1. נמצאים אנו ב"תשעת הימים" בתחלת חודש "מנחם-אב", שנק' כך כי הובטחנו מה' ש"והפכתי אבלם לששון". שע"י עשיית התשובה, שעי"ז מתבטלת סיבת הגלות ש"מפני חטאנו גלינו מארצנו", יקויים היעוד "יהפכו ימים אלו לששון ולשמחה ולמועדים טובים" בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה – ימים טובים ושמחים יותר מהרגיל כ"יתרון האור מן החושך וגו'". ולכן יש להוסיף בימים אלו בלימוד התורה ובקיום המצוות, ובמצוה התפלה ובקשה מה' לברכותיו וכו'. 2. עפמ"ש במדרש "בא וראה כמה חביבין תינוקות לפני הקב"ה, גלתה סנהדרין ולא גלתה שכינה עמהם, גלו משמרות ולא גלתה שכינה עמהם, וכיון שגלו תינוקות גלתה שכינה עמהם, הלא הוא דכתיב 'עוללי'ה הלכו שבי לפני צר' מיד 'ויצא מבת ציון כל הדרה'" – מובן שביטול סיבת הגלות וההשבה לארצנו הק' תלוי בראש ולראשונה בתורה, תפלה וצדקה של ילדי ישראל.ב' שיחות להתלמידים ולהתלמידות שיחיו, בבית הכנסת, אחרי תפלת מנחה, יום ה' פ' דברים, ד' מנחם-אב ה'תש"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-07-2025 Synopsis (1) We are now in the Nine Days, at the beginning of the month of Menachem-Av, which is called by that name because Hashem has promised us that “I will transform their mourning into gladness.” By doing teshuvah, which nullifies the cause of the exile (“Because of our sins we were exiled from our land”), we will merit the fulfillment of the promise, “These days will be transformed into joy and gladness and happy festivals” with the true and complete Redemption – even greater and more joyous than ordinary festivals, because there will be the “advantage of light from the darkness” etc. Therefore during this time of year, one should increase in Torah and mitzvos, and in the mitzvah of davening and asking Hashem for His blessings etc. (2) The Midrash states: “Come and see how beloved children are before the Holy One, blessed be He. The Sanhedrin was exiled, but the Divine Presence did not go into exile with them. The priestly watches were exiled, but the Divine Presence did not go into exile with them. But when the children were exiled, the Divine Presence went into exile with them, as it is written: ‘Her young children went into captivity before the enemy…' and then immediately, ‘Gone from the daughter of Tzion is all her splendor.'” Based on this, it is understood that the nullification of the cause of the exile and the return to our Holy Land depends first and foremost on the Torah, tefillah, and tzedakah of Jewish children.2 sichos delivered to children, Thursday, parashas Devarim, 4 Menachem-Av 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-07-2025

התוכן בשני דפ' דברים נאמר (בהמשך לדברי משה רבינו "איכה אשא לבדי וגו'", שע"ז אמר לו הקב"ה שיקח "שרי אלפים ושרי מאות וגו'"): "ושפטתם צדק בין איש ובין אחיו ובין גרו לא תכירו פנים במשפט וגו' והדבר אשר יקשה מכם תקריבון אלי ושמעתיו". וההוראה: כאשר יהודי צריך לשפוט את עצמו ולהחליט כיצד עליו לפעול בפועל, מצווה עליו התורה שהמשפט צריך להיות [לא עפ"י רצונותיו, אלא] "צדק"‏ – ‏עפ"י תורה! וכאשר ישנו ענין קשה שאינו יודע להחליט בעצמו‏ – ‏אינו סומך על עצמו אלא הולך לשאול אצל הראש-ישיבה וכיו"ב ומתנהג עפ"י הוראתו‏.‏משיחת ג' מנחם-אב ה'תשמ"א לילדי ישראל ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-07-2025 Synopsis The verse states in sheini of parashas Devarim (following Moshe Rabbeinu's words “How can I bear alone...,” in response to which Hashem instructed Moshe to appoint “officers of thousands, officers of hundreds, etc.”): “You shall judge justly between a man and his fellow, and between his litigant. You must not favor anyone in judgment…Bring to me any case that is too difficult for you and I will hear it.” The lesson is that when a Jew finds himself in a situation where he needs to judge himself and determine how to act, the Torah commands that he judge himself not based on his own desires, but with a just judgement according to Torah. And if the matter is difficult and he cannot decide on his own, he should not rely on himself but rather ask his rosh-yeshiva and the like, and follow their guidance.Excerpt from sichah of 3 Menachem-Av 5741, to Tzivos Hashem For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-07-2025

Kumsitz style fahrbreng - lots of signing and Torah. Somewhere in the middle we change the name of the month from Menachem Av to Av HaRachaman

Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av 5785

"Sicha #174: *Parshas Matos-Maasei,* Chelek Chof Gimmul page 214. My body's experience and ability is the deepest expression of Hashem's power. Menachem Av - We bring our father comfort.This week's learning sponsored by 3 individuals!*Chaya Musha bas Devorah Leah* & *Henna Shomer*both in honor of their Yom Huledes - May this learning be a zchus for a shnas bracha, ad bli dai!!* Thank you for choosing these sichos as your birthday gift!Learning sponsored also by *Susan Shapiro* in honor of the yahrtzeit of her mother (my Safta!) *Basya bas Nessa*. May her neshama have an aliyah and endless nachas!_Want to get in on sponsoring? PM me!__*Sicha Summary Notes*_Ever had a moment where you were really *stuck* in your own challenge?In this month of Menachem Av, we comfort Hashem for the pain He is in.There are 2 dimensions of Hashem's pain of being in golus1. *Shchina is with the yidden in Golus.* When we experience our Geulah it is Hashem's Geulah. Our neshamos are always Godly, no choice there, but our bodies - that dont reflect godliness, those Hashem chose! When we are physically (body) in golus, so is Hashem.2. Like a king who said to his servants, if you are looking for me, *I am going to be next to my son.*What is deeper about this that is being added?Differentiation! Jewish Mothers - *we get it!* Where my kid is, that's where Ill be.*2 different situations*The father feels obvious cherishing of the child, bringing nachas! Warm fuzzy feeling, my delicious child, i'm with them! - neshama part of the yid, *nachas producer* , neshama is never affected by the golusRebbe adding! This is also true when it comes to the body. The body does NOT show Hashem. It looks just as coarse as other bodies. Mashal - if you are looking for me, I am going to be with my son. Ya this is my kid, i go with him everywhere he is at. *Hashem is with us in our tumah* . *Essential connection*Only in the Jewish Body (vs soul) do you see the connection of Hashems essence. I'm with my kid. Period.Hashem is ALWAYS with us. Menachem Av - Hashem is here as the father to his child.Level 1 nachas connection - *neshama experience*Level 2 essential connection - *body experience*Taking this even deeper...We also suffer loss, How can we comfort Hashem?The greatness of what the child can do > parentsLike a blue eyed child born from brown eyed parents, the child _reveals a recessive gene his parents have, but did not display._You have incredible power! Show up with all the emunah, all the positivity - WOW! This was always there in Hashem but not expressed until a Yid does this.We have the ability through our physical struggles, we are bringing out a koiach always there in Hashem - that had not yet been brought out.*All of us showing up in Mitzvos, Torah, we are bringing out Hashems “recessive DNA”. there is no such thing as a ME struggle - don't ever feel alone, you are Hashems essence being expressed*. Feel empowered! We can define the golus, tap into incredible koiach, Hashems essence pumping through us. Shift to new approach: Moshiach!"

התוכן שם הפרשה מטות-מסעי. "מטות" מורה תוקף וחיזוק, ו"מסעי" מורה על ההילוך והנסיעה בעילוי אחר עילוי, ועד שדרגה הקודמת נחשבת כמו "מצרים". וז"ש "אלה מסעי בנ"י אשר יצאו מארץ מצרים", שכ"ז שלא הגיעו עדיין לא"י לא יכלו לנוח ולהשאר במקומם, ועד שהרגישו דעדיין צריכים לצאת "מארץ מצרים"! וההוראה: ביחד עם העמידה בתוקף בנוגע לעניני תומ"צ, צריך להוסיף בעבודתו בעילוי אחר עילוי, עד שזוכים לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה, שאז תהיו כל העליות בקדושה גופא, כולל גם מצד העבודה דקו השמאל, מדת הגבורה, שעי"ז העלי' בקדושה היא בהתגברות הכי גדולה. ובזמן הגלות – זוהי עבודת התשובה שהיא העבודה עם קו השמאל, שמתבטא גם בזה שכל עבודתו הוא באופן ד"כפליים לתושי'", שהיא הכנה לגאולה, וזהו הקשר לשם החודש "מנחם-אב", שעיקר ה"שטורעם" וההתחלה הוא "מנחם" (אף שניתוסף לאח"ז), שבגימ' צמח דקאי על משיח. וע"י ההחלטות טובות בענינים אלו זוכים ל"מיד הן נגאלין", ומתחיל ה"מסע" "עם ענני שמיא" לעבר הירדן המערבי. משיחת אור לר"ח מנ"א ה'תשמ"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-07-2025 Synopsis The name Matos signifies strength and firmness, while Masei signifies journeying and advancing from level to level, to the point that the previous level is considered like “Egypt.” This is why the verse says, “These are the journeys (in the plural) of the Jewish people who left the land of Egypt” – because as long as they hadn't yet reached Eretz Yisroel, they could not rest or remain in place, to the extent that they felt they still needed to leave “the land of Egypt.” The lesson is that alongside standing firmly in matters of Torah and mitzvos, one must also increase in his divine service, rising from level to level until meriting the true and complete Redemption, at which time all the elevations will be within holiness itself, including through the service associated with the left side, the attribute of Gevurah, which brings the utmost intensity to the elevation within holiness. During the time of exile, this is the service of teshuvah, the service of the left side, which is also expressed in the fact that all one's efforts are in a manner of “a double portion of wisdom,” which prepares for the Redemption. This is the connection to the name of the month, Menachem-Av, where the beginning and main focus is on the word “Menachem” (despite the fact that this part of the name was added later) whose numerical value “Tzemach,” which refers to Moshiach. And by making firm positive resolutions in these matters, we will merit that “they are immediately redeemed,” and the “journey” will begin “with heavenly clouds” toward the western side of the Jordan.Excerpt from sichah of Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av 5748 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-07-2025 לזכות בנציון מאיר הלוי בן חי' שרה שי' וויינבוים ליום הולדת שלו כ"ז תמוזלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות‏

The Kindness of G-d is endless. This section deals with the questions on the verse. When we let the kindness flow, it elicits G-ds kindness.

התוכן הוראה ממ"ש בהתחלת פ' שופטים "שופטים ושוטרים תתן לך בכל שעריך": ענינו של השופט הוא לתת הוראות כיצד לנהוג והשופטים ממנים שוטרים להשגיח ע"ז. וכ"ה בנוגע לכל בית יהודי פרטי, שכל ראש משפחה הוא בדוגמת ה"שופט וה"שוטר" ביחס להנהגת בני-ביתו. ועד"ז בנוגע לכל ילד יהודי, שהוא צ"ל ה"שופט" וה"שוטר" בנוגע להנהגתו הפרטית ובנוגע לחדרו הפרטי שבו נמצאים הספרים שלו וקופת צדקה, שהכל יהי' מונח בסדר הראוי, כמו שצ"ל בימי החול וכמו שצ"ל ביום השבת. וצריכים להעמיד "שופטים" ו"שוטרים" "בכל שעריך"‏ – ‏העינים, אזנים, הפה וכיו"ב‏ – ‏שדרכם יכנסו ויצאו רק ענינים הקשורים עם תומ"צ. וכ"ז מחזק את הקשר לאבינו שבשמים. וכך נעשה חדרו הפרטי של כל ילד יהודי "מקדש מעט", שהקב"ה יהי' בו ה"שכן", ועוד יותר‏ – ‏הבעה"ב, ומובן ש"שכן" ו"בעה"ב" כזה מביא אתו מתנות טובות לאלו הנמצאים בחדר... [ועוד].ב' חלקים משיחת יום ג' דפ' שופטים, כ"ח מנחם-אב ה'תשמ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=01-09-2024 Synopsis Parashas Shoftim begins: “You shall set up judges and officers for yourself in all your gates…”: the role of a judge is to show the people how to behave, and the judges appoint officers to keep order in the city etc. The same applies to every Jewish house, where the head of the family is like a “judge” and “officer” with regards to his family's conduct. Similarly, every Jewish child must be a “judge” and “officer” over his own behavior and over his own room, making sure everything in his room, his sefarim and his tzedakah box etc., are arranged in an orderly fashion (for example, the tzedakah box should be high up on Shabbos so he doesn't touch it). And these “judges” and “officers” must be set up in “all your gates” – the “gates” being the eyes, ears, and mouth – making sure that only matters of Torah and mitzvos enter and exit through them. All this strengthens their connection to our Father in heaven, and in this fashion, every Jewish child's room becomes a “Minor Mikdash,” and Hashem becomes his “Neighbor,” and moreover Hashem becomes the “Owner,” and obviously a “Neighbor” and “Owner” like that brings good gifts….2 excerpts from sichah of Tuesday, Parashas Shoftim, 28 Menachem-Av 5749.

התוכן 1) הוראה משם פ' עקב – "והי' עקב תשמעון", ופרש"י "אם המצוות קלות שאדם דש בעקביו תשמעון", שיש לקיים גם מצוות שה"יצר" טוען שהם קטנות וקלות, כמו מצוות שילד קטן עושה, ובשכר זה "ושמר ה"א לך את הברית ואת החסד אשר נשבע לאבותיך". 2) כשה"יצר" בא עם טענה אחרת לילד יהודי: 'כיצד הנך ממתין לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה שתבוא תיכף ומיד, בשעה שאני (היצה"ר) מסתובב בחוץ ורואה מה נעשה בעולם, גלות קשה והרבה מכשולים וכו'', הנה התשובה לזה הוא בפסוק מפורש בשלישי דפ' עקב, "והם עמך ונחלתך אשר הוצאת בכחך הגדול ובזרועך הנטוי'": כשם שיצי"מ היתה "כהרף עין", כמו"כ תהי' גם הגאולה העתידה!, ואין פלא בדבר שהרי "הם עמך ונחלתך!".ב' חלקים מהשיחות יום ג' פ' עקב, ט"ז מנחם-אב ה'תשד"מ, להילדים והילדות – "צבאות השם" שיחיו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-08-2024 Synopsis (1)Parashas Eikev begins: “And it will be, because (‘Eikev') you will heed…”; and Rashi explains, “If you will heed the minor mitzvos which one tramples with his heels (‘eikev'): one must keep even the mitzvos that the yetzer argues are minor and unimportant, like the mitzvos performed by a young child, and in reward, “Hashem your G-d, will keep for you the covenant and the kindness that He swore to your forefathers. (2) The yetzer comes to a Jewish child and argues: How can you be waiting for the true and complete Redemption and expecting it to come imminently, when I go around and see what's happening in the world and the difficult exile with so many challenges etc. But the answer appears in an explicit verse in shelishi of Parashas Eikev, “But they are Your people and Your inheritance, which You brought out with Your great strength and with Your outstretched arm”: just like the Exodus from Egypt took place “in the blink of an eye,” so, too, will the coming Redemption. And it's no wonder, because “they are Your people and Your inheritance.”Two excerpts from sichos of Tuesday, Parashas Eikev, 16 Menachem-Av 5744, to Tzivos Hashem For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-08-2024 לזכות מנחם מענדל בן חנה יהודית שי' בחורבערג ליום הולדת שלו ט"ז מנחם-אב – לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובותנדבת בני משפחתו שיחיולזכות ר' אברהם דוד הכהן בן לאה שי' טייטלבוים ליום הולדת שלו ט"ז מנחם-אבלשנת ברכה והצלחה‏, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

התוכן כללות הענין דעשרת הדברות – שאודותם מסופר בחלק ברביעי דפ' ואתחנן – קשור במיוחד לילדי ישראל. שהרי רק כאשר בנ"י הציעו את ה"ערבות" של "בנינו עורבים אותנו" קיבל זאת הקב"ה ונתן את התורה לכל ישראל. ובפשטות: זה שעכשיו התורה היא אצלנו, ה"ז בזכותם של הילדים הקטנים שהיו בעת מ"ת בפעם הראשונה, שמהם נמסרה הערבות לילדי ישראל מדור לדור עד שבדורנו זה! ובזה מודגש עוד יותר גודל הזכות והואחריות המוטלת על כאו"א מילדי ישראל שבדורנו זה, להתאסף לקבל את התורה מחדש ביתר שאת ותוקף, עד שיזכו לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה שאז ישמעו וילמדו את התורה מהקב"ה בעצמו. וההכנה קרובה לזה היא ע"י שמתאספים יחד כדי להתפלל לה', ללמוד תורתו ולתת צדקה (כפי שנסיים כנס זה). ובקרוב ממש יקויים תפלתו של משה "ואתחנן אל ה' גו'" – שהוא ביחד עם כל ישראל באים לארצנו הקדושה וכו'.א' השיחות דיום ד' פ' ואתחנן, י"ג מנחם-אב, ה'תנש"א – לילדים וילדות שיחיו דמחנות קיץ יומיים ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-08-2024 Synopsis The Aseres Hadibros (in revi'i of Va'eschanan) has a special connection to Jewish children, because Hashem only agreed to give the Jewish people the Torah when the Jewish people said “Our children will be our guarantors.” In simple terms this means that the fact that we now have the Torah is in the merit of the young Jewish children. And this further emphasizes the great privilege and responsibility every Jewish child in our generation has, to gather and receive the Torah anew, and with greater vitality and excitement, until we merit the true and complete Redemption, when we will hear Torah from Hashem Himself. The way to prepare for the Redemption is by gathering together to daven to Hashem, to study his Torah and give tzedakah, as we will do at the end of this gathering. And very soon we will experience the fulfillment of Moshe's tefillah as well, “And I entreated Hashem etc.,” to enter the Land with the entire Jewish people.Sichah of Wednesday, Parashas Va'eschanan, 13 Menachem-Av 5741 – to Tzivos Hashem For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-08-2024 לזכותנחמה פייגל בת רחל שתחי'ליום ההולדת שלה י"א מנחם-אבלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

התוכן א) הוראה ממ"ש הרמב"ם בהל' בית הבחירה בנוגע לבנין ביהמ"ק "שמצוה מן המובחר לחזק את הבנין ולהגביהו כפי כח הציבור וכו'": אם יש לא' כשרונות מיוחדים עליו לנצלם במילואן לעבודת ה' בביהמ"ק הרוחני שלו! ב) בנוגע למ"ש בהתחלת פ' ואתחנן שמשה רבינו אמר להקב"ה "אתה החילות להראות את עבדך את גדלך וגו'" – שרק בזמנו של משה התחיל הקב"ה להראות את גדולתו וכו' – מקשה הזהר הרי היו נסים גם בזמנם של האבות?! ומתרץ: שדוקא בזמן משה היו מצבם של בנ"י באופן של גדלות – ציבור שלם ואחד של מליוני אנשים (אנשים נשים וטף)! וזהו גדלותו האמיתית של הקב"ה. וההוראה: על כ"א לפעול שבנ"י יהיו באחדות ע"י אהבת ישראל ועי"ז נעשה ה"גדלך" האמיתי, וזה צריך להתחיל מילדים!משיחת א' פ' ואתחנן, ז' מנחם-אב ה'תש"מ, להתלמידים ולהתלמידות שיחיו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-08-2024 Synopsis (1) The Rambam writes in Hilchos Beis Habechirah: “The most preferable way to fulfill the mitzvah [of building the Beis Hamikdash] is by strengthening the building and raising it according to the community's ability etc.” The lesson is that if someone has special talents, they must fully utilize it for serving Hashem in their spiritual Beis Hamikdash. (2) At the beginning of Parashas Va'eschanan, Moshe Rabbeinu says to Hashem, “You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness etc.” – indicating that it was only in Moshe's time that Hashem began to show His greatness etc. The Zohar asks: Weren't there also miracles in the times of the Patriarchs?! And he answers: it was only in Moshe's time that the Jewish people attained greatness – because that's when they became a complete and united community of millions of people (men, women, and children), and that is the true greatness of Hashem. The lesson is that everyone should see to it that the entire Jewish people are united through Ahavas Yisrael, and this is “Your greatness.” And it has to start with the children.Excerpt from sichah of Sunday, Parashas Va'eschanan, 7 Menachem-Av 5740 – to children For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-08-2024

This enigmatic month is called in Hebrew "Menachem Av,' which means 'The Consoling Father.' Ostensibly the name doesn't fit the reality of these days leading up to the fast day of Tisha B'Av, observed next week, which marks the destruction of the Holy Temple. Yet the vision of this month is the secret of the absolute Oneness of God, the vision of true reality: a loving Father calling His children back to Him with kindness and compassion. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore the inner meaning of the cycles of our lives that lead from destruction to rebuilding. _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow: PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...

“The shift has taken place and it's time now to Go.. Go.. Go”, says the Lord!Do not tarry or delay just start moving. This is a time where you will be tested on what the Scrolls of Destiny say about you.Think on these things that God has spoken to you in the past to prepare you to now run the race with endurance . To keep your endurance high, make it a point to rest in what has been written already about you. What has been written opens up the keys of what has already been accomplished in the eternal spirit realms. You are simply just carrying it out in the natural earthly realms.This month of Av on the Hebrew calendar is known as Menachem Av or “God Our Comforter”. God is speaking to us from this place in the eternal realms. However, He is also speaking to us from the soulish realms or earthy realm, in that this is the month of August or Month of New Beginnings and we are approaching the 8th day or day of New Beginnings in the Month of New Beginnings. Two things are happening at one time. There will s an alignment between eternal and earth realms.God is dealing with you still on repentance issues and getting your heart clear as well as saying run, run, run and begin to step into all I have for you this fall season. Both are happening at the same time ! That's why your waking up at night or in prayer repenting plus talking to him about the next steps and how to move ahead. Do what has been written ! You need confidence to remember that we walk by the spirit in faith not by flesh and in sight.Hebrews 10: 36-38 (NASB) reads, “or you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY. 38 BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.”Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB) reads, “ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Anxiousness will decrease when you rest on not giving sacrifices but true offerings during this time . Now offerings can hurt. It will require a lot of faith in this time of acceleration. This is time for your faith capacity to increase and that only happens when we exercise it.We only get anxious when we are trying to do something not in faith. Rest in the truth that it's all been written first in eternal realms, you are just carrying it out by faith in natural earthly realms !!Take a leap of faith and remain steadfast in the call and what was written about you! God will bring it to pass as you Go, Go, Go in your promotion time.Do you want to be trained as good disciples or biblical life coach ?

התוכן שמו של החודש הוא "מנחם אב", והיינו שבכל החודש, ומתחילתו, ישנו כבר ה"מנחם" של ענינים הבלתי-רצויים של חודש זה. וזה מודגש ביותר בזמננו "אַז ס'קרוב זמן הגאולה, ביז וואַנעט אַז מ'דאַרף דאָס זאָגן בדיבור, וואָס איז . . דאָך מגלה און מכריז און מודיע בכל מקום אַז ס'איז דער צייט וואָס ס'הויבט זיך אָן "מנחם""; מעלת קביעות שנה זו שהיא שנת העיבור, והיינו שניתוסף חודש שלם בעניני תומ"צ, שעי"ז, ביטול הסיבה ד"מפני חטאינו", מתבטל המסובב ד"גלינו מארצנו", ופועלים הענין ד"והפכתי אבלם לששון"; אע"פ שבזמן ד"בין המצרים" צריך למעט בשמחה אבל השמחה שע"י לימוד התורה ("פקודי ה' ישרים משמחי לב") הוא חיוב, ובפרט בזמן זה שיש "להתייגע" במיוחד בענין הגאולה, הרי "ציון במשפט (תורה) תפדה ושבי' בצדקה (שכולל כל המצוות)", ויש לעשותם מתוך שמחה.ב' חלקים משיחת מוצש"פ פנחס ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2024 Synopsis The name of the month is “Menachem-Av,” meaning that the entire month, from its beginning, already offers the “Menachem” (consolation) for the undesirable aspects of the month. This is especially emphasized in our time, when the Redemption is near, to the point that it must be clearly verbalized, which reveals and proclaims and announces everywhere that the time of “Menachem” is beginning. This year is also a leap year, which brings an additional entire month of Torah and mitzvos, thus nullifying “our sins” and thereby nullifying the result of our sins, namely, the fact that “we were exiled from our land,” and thus turning “their mourning into gladness.” Although joy is supposed to be diminished during the Three Weeks, however the joy derived from Torah study (“The orders of Hashem are upright, causing the heart to rejoice”) is a requirement, especially now when it's necessary to exert special effort for the Redemption, as “Tzion shall be redeemed through justice (Torah) and those who return to it with tzedakah (which encompasses all the mitzvos)” and this should be done with joy.Two excerpts from sichah of Motza'ei Shabbos Parashas Pinchas, 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2024

Chelek 23, Matos-Masei Menachem-Av

My body's experience and ability is the deepest expression of Hashem's power. Menachem Av - We bring our father comfort.This week's learning sponsored by 3 individuals!Chaya Musha bas Devorah Leah & Henna Shomerboth in honor of their Yom Huledes - May this learning be a zchus for a shnas bracha, ad bli dai!!* Thank you for choosing these sichos as your birthday gift!Learning sponsored also by Susan Shapiro in honor of the yahrtzeit of her mother (my Safta!) Basya bas Nessa. May her neshama have an aliyah and endless nachas!Want to get in on sponsoring? PM me!Sicha Summary NotesEver had a moment where you were really stuck in your own challenge?In this month of Menachem Av, we comfort Hashem for the pain He is in.There are 2 dimensions of Hashem's pain of being in golus1. Shchina is with the yidden in Golus. When we experience our Geulah it is Hashem's Geulah. Our neshamos are always Godly, no choice there, but our bodies - that dont reflect godliness, those Hashem chose! When we are physically (body) in golus, so is Hashem.2. Like a king who said to his servants, if you are looking for me, I am going to be next to my son.What is deeper about this that is being added?Differentiation! Jewish Mothers - we get it! Where my kid is, that's where Ill be.2 different situationsThe father feels obvious cherishing of the child, bringing nachas! Warm fuzzy feeling, my delicious child, i'm with them! - neshama part of the yid, nachas producer, neshama is never affected by the golusRebbe adding! This is also true when it comes to the body. The body does NOT show Hashem. It looks just as coarse as other bodies. Mashal - if you are looking for me, I am going to be with my son. Ya this is my kid, i go with him everywhere he is at. Hashem is with us in our tumah. Essential connectionOnly in the Jewish Body (vs soul) do you see the connection of Hashems essence. I'm with my kid. Period.Hashem is ALWAYS with us. Menachem Av - Hashem is here as the father to his child.Level 1 nachas connection - neshama experienceLevel 2 essential connection - body experience Taking this even deeper...We also suffer loss, How can we comfort Hashem?The greatness of what the child can do > parentsLike a blue eyed child born from brown eyed parents, the child reveals a recessive gene his parents have, but did not display.You have incredible power! Show up with all the emunah, all the positivity - WOW! This was always there in Hashem but not expressed until a Yid does this.We have the ability through our physical struggles, we are bringing out a koiach always there in Hashem - that had not yet been brought out.All of us showing up in Mitzvos, Torah, we are bringing out Hashems “recessive DNA”. there is no such thing as a ME struggle - don't ever feel alone, you are Hashems essence being expressed. Feel empowered! We can define the golus, tap into incredible koiach, Hashems essence pumping through us. Shift to new approach: Moshiach!(Chelek chof Gimmul page 214)

התוכן 1) מבואר במאמרים בענין "והאיש משה עניו מאד מכל האדם שעל פני האדמה [כמ"ש בשביעי דפ' בהעלותך] שהוא הי' עניו (ובאמת) במיוחד מפני דרא דעקבתא דמשיחא כי העריך שלימוד התורה וכו' שלו ביחס למעמדו ומצבו אינו בערך ללימוד התורה וכו' בדרא דעקבתא דמשיחא במעמד ומצב העולם שיהי' אז וכו'. ולכן גם אין לזלזל אפי' בפעולה טובה קטנה שעושים בדורנו כי אין לדעת חשבונות של הקב"ה. וזהו גם ההסבר לכך שאע"פ ש"אכשור דרא בתמי'" ומ"מ הוטלה דוקא על דורנו התפקיד להביא בפועל את משיח צדקנו ו"המלאכה נק' ע"ש גומרה" ובמילא צ"ל בשמחה! 2) על משה רבינו אמר הקב"ה [בשביעי דפ' בהעלותך] "בכל ביתי נאמן הוא", כי הוא הי' עבד נאמן ובטל בתכלית לה' בלי שום מציאות לעצמו ולכן "סמך" עליו הקב"ה שבדרך ממילא יכוון לרצונו, ואת הביטול הזה מוריש משה רבינו לכאו"א שיעשה את כל דבר הקשור עם רצונו ית' בקבלת עול עד שזהו הטבע שלו ועושה א"ז בדרך ממילא!1) משיחת כ' מנחם-אב ה'תשל"ז 2) משיחת פורים ה'תשכ"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-06-2024 Synopsis (1) On the verse, “And the man Moshe was very humble, more so than any person on the face of the earth” [in shevi'i of Behaalosecha], it is explained in maamarim that Moshe felt humble particularly compared to the generation of the footsteps of Moshiach, because he felt that for someone of his stature, and in his position, to study Torah etc., can't compare to someone studying Torah etc. despite living in the conditions that will prevail in the time leading up to Moshiach etc. Therefore, one should not underestimate any deed done in our times, no matter how small it may seem, because we cannot know Hashem's calculations. This also explains why, although “this generation – is it worthy?” – the task of finally bringing Moshiach was specifically given to our generation, and “the work is called by the name of the one who completes it.” (2) Hashem says regarding Moshe Rabbeinu, “In all My house, he is faithful;” Moshe was a faithful servant who was totally nullified to Hashem, without any separate identity of his own, and therefore Hashem trusted that Moshe's will would align automatically with Hashem's will. Moshe instills this degree of self-nullification to every Jew – the ability to do everything related to Hashem's will with kabbolas ol, to the point that it becomes one's nature and he does it automatically.Excerpts from (1) sichah of 20 Menachem-Av 5737; (2) Purim 5721 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-06-2024 לזכות ר' מאיר שמחה בן הינדא ומרת דבורה בת רבקה שיחיוליום הנישואין שלהם י"ד סיוןנדבת ר' ברוך ומרת טובה שיחיו חזנוב

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus applied to Elul What does this time period teach us? Why is the entire month of Av called Menachem Av? With Elul approaching, what are some practical things we can do to end the year on a high note and begin the new year with the proper inspiration? What does “the king is in the field” practically mean? Lessons from Shoftim Why does the Torah command us to install a physical king in Israel when we have G-d as our true King? Why does the Torah prohibit kings from having more horses than they need? What is today's equivalent of a “city of refuge”? Does eglah arufah teach us that a community is responsible for the hurt and abuse that occurs in the area of their jurisdiction? What can we learn from the wildfires that have ravaged Hawaii, killing and injuring many people? How should I deal with my son who thinks he might be gay? To what extent should we be investing in restoring historical Jewish sites? Any advice for overcoming writer's block? Follow-up: Dealing with narcissism
