A Deep Insight into the Shemini Atzeres Massacre

Over the inbase medrish boy kodesh, I found a dover neflah. And that's in the title of the hilchos shabbos and I found it in two places. In the drushos these are the drushos that for the most part the chasam sofer gave when he was the gaavad of dresnitz. If you want to see it inside it's on page kuf yud zayin. And the other place is in the drushos of the chasam sofer. This is a drusha that the chasam sofer gave in sukkah mantel in taf kuf tzadi kuf. It was a drusha that he gave in parshas nitzavim and in the old drushos of the chasam sofer it's on daf shin nun alef par daled. So the chasam sofer over there brings this yesod from the ramami pano. This yesod from the tzadikim and from the sfarm hakdoshim that being that it was all of machshava of hakadosh baruchu to create the world the midas hadin it's for that reason there is a world of midas hadin. But listen to a sefer that the chasam sofer says. Because of avraham avinu nitzkayem machshava that this machshava of hakadosh baruchu was nitzkayem. Pikdusha with pikdusha with the holiest of the holy kigoyim moshe rabbeinu alav hashalom vedovid hamelech alav hashalom ukidoyim. Says the hilchos shabbos but I want to tell you a chiddish. That just like the ramami pano and the tzadikim were megala that when it comes to the holiest people in the world they're governed b'midas hadin hachanami nitzkayem bizman yemei hamakdoshim. The holiest days of the year are also governed with this inyan of mitaktikin the holiest days of the year are also days that are governed b'midas hadin. V'cheima makom and the same is true with place eretz hakodesh yerushalayim tzadik it's also governed on some level with a certain all of the machshava of the midas hadin. And it's based on the fact that all kedusha the holiest of the holy are governed b'midas hadin. It's not only the kedusha the gaavad of the chasam sofer but it's true and hasman and it's true and goes and he's and he says but this is what the says the says that the the is not only true for the people that are the most but it's also true in as man the holiest days of the year there's a certain and it's also true for the holiest places of the year in the world there's also a certain day I was just we know say that all the all the are a they're going to become they're going to be at the end of days what's the it could be the is because to the extent that these are days that we took upon ourselves as national days of morning but these are days that have a that's open and if that's the case it's a open and if that's the case it's a on this man it must be a very holy time so therefore at some point when we're not going to have to mourn anymore it's going to be it's going to end up being days of not because we once fasted it's going to be days of from the fact that we fasted these days that means it must be in man parallel to the that the mentions my so if these are days that are so holy so morbid about that the of what happened in those days what happened in those days is a tremendous of and that's why they're going to be one day to we know today is called a I think this is a the is it's such a holy day it has to be such a holy day because the greatest we've ever had is on that day and if so much took place then what does that mean it's a it's a sign that that day must be such a holy day. And as a result, Kor Yamma. I think it's a panim hadashas is an understanding that Kor Yamma is related to Tisha B'Av. But there was one other hergesh that again, you can't not express. And that is, I think if you look at modern Jewish history, probably the two days where Klal Yisrael suffered the most as far as a pogrom goes, as far as the amount of Yidden that were killed in one shot, were the Yom Kippur War and then more recently, October 7th. Yom Kippur War happened on the Yom HaKodesh on Yom Kippur. And October 7th took place on Shemini Atzeres. Everybody knows Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year. Shemini Atzeres is a close second. In the Sforno Maktish Shemini Atzeres is k'mati Yom Kippur. And we always speak about the mashal that says that the same mussaf of Shemini Atzeres was the same mussaf on Yom Kippur because Shemini Atzeres and Yom Kippur b'shoresha is mamash one and the same. The two holiest days of the year were the days where all of a sudden the middas hadin had a certain koach that ordinarily we seemed to have been protected and shielded from. It's because on the Yom HaKodesh, counterintuitively, there's an incredible middas hadin. Just like by the Kodesh Elyon, there was a special middas hadin. And really it doesn't make sense. And that was Moshe Rabbeinu's kasha. Zu Torah v'zu s'chora? What, on Yom Kippur and Shemini Atzeres? It makes no sense. But what was David's response? That's the ta'anis. It's stoic. And davka on days like Yom Kippur and davka on days like Shemini Atzeres, we need a shmiral Yona from middas hadin. The reason is cuz they are governed in the world of olam hab'machshava and in the world of olam hab'machshava, there's an incredible middas hadin. Who knows? Maybe this is a little bit of a panim hadashas in a sugia she hadasha b'rabim. This is way above my pay grade. Just a marom makim, an incredible chasam sofer that's related to Ray that we've spoken about so many times. We're going to stop here.
