    Sichos Sivan-Elul 5740

    -87- to Torah, Yud-Bais Tanonuz teaches that a Jew who is merely on the level of a fence is also important. There is another connection between the two dates. Our sages tell us (Megillah 13b) that "G-d reveals the medicine be­ fore the blow." Yud-Bais Tammuz is the medium whose celebration enables the seventeenth of Tammuz, the blow, to be transformed into "a day of rejoicing" in Messianic times. The above provides a practical lesson for our behavior. We have to stand firm in all matters of Yiddishkeit, without being affected by any difficulties, conscious that we are doing what G-d wants, acting as His emissaries. This resolute stand must extend even to a mere fence to the Torah and even when challenged by a powerful country. The strength to carry on this service is derived from the blessing of the month of Tammuz. Even if one's initial efforts do not seem to meet with success, one must be conscious that "If he comes to purify himself, he is helped from Above" and he will soon see the fruit of his work. Through this course of action, we will hasten the complete and true redemption led by Moshiach, speedily in our days. 2. The above relates to the blessing of the month of Tammuz every year. This year, the date on which Shabbos Mevorchim falls is the 23rd of Sivan, and the portion of the Torah Shelach is read on that day. The book of Esther specifically mentions the 23rd of Sivan. (F) "In the third month, the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day thereof, the scribes of the king were called, and it was written exactly what Mordechai had dictated to the Jews, as well as to the governers..

    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

    20 Sivan: a Forgotten Fast

    20 Sivan: A Forgotten Fast Ezer Diena, [email protected] 1. Seder Olam Rabbah, Chapter 8 )במדברי,יא(: "וַיְהִ י בַשָּׁ נָּׁההַשֵּׁנִית בַחֹדֶ ׁש הַשֵּׁנִי בְ עֶשְרִ יםבַחֹדֶ ׁש נַעֲלָּׁההֶעָּׁנָּׁן". נמצאו עושין במדבר סיני י"ב חדש חסר עשרה ימים ואומר )שם לג, ב( " ַו ִי ְכ ֹתב ֹמ ֶׁשה ֶאת מֹו ָּׁצ ֵּׁאי ֶהם ְל ַמ ְס ֵּׁעי ֶהם ְוגֹו'". נסעו ממדבר סיני ובאו להם לקברות התאוה ועשו שם שלשים יום שנאמר )שם יא, יט("לֹא יֹום אֶחָּׁד תֹאכְ לּון וְ גֹו' עַד חֹדֶ ׁש יָּׁמִ ים וְ גֹו'". “And it was on the 20th day of the second month of the second year, the cloud rose.” It comes out that they [dwelled] in the Sinai desert for 12 months less 10 days, and it says “And Moshe wrote the stages of their journey”, they travelled from the Sinai desert and came to Kivrot Hata’avah, and [remained] there for 30 days, as it says “Not for one day will you eat… for one month’s worth of days…” 2. Taz, Orach Chaim 566:3 ...ונ"ל דהתענית שגזרו מנהיגי שלש הארצו' בצירוף גאונים להתענות בכל כ' סיון משום רוע הגזירות בעו"ה יש לקרות ויחל אפי' כשחל ביום ב' או ה' שתענית זה הוא קבוע אפי' ביותר מב' וה' דאחר הפסח וסוכו'... And it seems to me that the fast that the leaders of the Three Lands [Greater/Little Poland, Galicia (with Podolia) and Volhynia] decreed, along with Gaonim, to fast on the 20th of Sivan every year because of the evil decrees, due to our great sins, one should read Vayechal even if it falls on a Monday or Thursday, since this fast is even more established than the fasts on Monday and Thursday after Pesach and Sukkot… 3.
