Devarim - Tisha B'Av: Survival Guide for Galus
About this episode
Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Zt'l discusses the teachings from Devarim and the significance of Tisha B'Av in relation to Jewish survival in Galus.
Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת דברים & תשעה באב.Discussed: Various Medrashim and Peshatim on the Pasuk in Devarim, רב לכם סב את ההר הזה פנו לכם צפנה. The Kli Yakor writes that this Pasuk has a hidden message for future generations, that Jews in Galus should hide their wealth and success. He rebuked the Jews in his generation who flaunted their wealth because it incited the jealousy of Eisav and Yishmael, causing persecution. R' Yisrael Salanter writes that making a Bracha on the Torah shows an appreciation for how the Torah distinguishes and elevates the Jews, and therefore when the Jews did not make a Bracha, the first Beis Hamikdash was destroyed.
