The Prime Minister of Israel has dubbed its operation in its war against Iran operation roaring lion. Although there are a number reasons for the choice of this particular name, Tvaram Gedolim Inam Bamikra, great things, major occurrences in the world are not coincidental. And if this name has been given, then there must be a symbolism and a message for Shomrei Torah Mitzvos. And certainly there is. My dear friend, Rabbi Mordechai Gelber, brought to my attention that Rabbeinu Bachya in this week's parsha, parshas Pekudei, discusses the selection of Betzalel from Shevet Yehuda and Aholiav from Shevet Dan to be the architects of the Mishkan. And Rabbeinu Bachya says perek lamed ches pasuk chof tes, Betzalel v'Aholiav hayu ha'omnim habekiyim שבכולם. Betzalel and Aholiav were the head, the chief architects. Betzalel mishvet Yehuda shenikra gor aryeh. Betzalel from Shevet Yehuda, he's called a lion cub. V'Aholiav mishvet Dan shenikra Dan gor aryeh. Both of these individuals came from shvatim that are called and compared to the lion. V'hamikdash sh'haya domeh l'aryeh. The Beis Hamikdash was analogous to a lion. The heichal was broad in the front, narrow in the back. It was similar to a lion. Kid'chsev hoya Ariel Ariel. Kiryas Chana David. Alas, the Temple is called Ariel Ariel. Uv'aryeh nenshu. Call you so was punished through a nation comparable to the lion. Bavel Al aryeh misivchai. The lion arose from the thicket. Uv'aryeh asiden l'hismache b'simchas Yeshua. We are destined to be compared to a lion in the time of our salvation, in the time of all of us and Emma, the whole yacht show is Yakov if by going in Korea by the Hamas here. We're destined to be compared to a lion. So, we hope that this operation, this war is a precursor of great salvation for Israel and a precursor of all of us and Emma. But, if all of us are telling us that at the time of the show, we're going to be compared to a lion, that means in many, many ways in numerous ways we'll be compared to a lion, not just in the name of the operation. But, throughout the knock all of us are depicted as a lion in a description of its energetic and passionate commitment to the Hashem. For example, in the of all of us and Emma in all of us and Emma all of us and Emma all of us and Emma after all of us and Emma we will follow like a roaring lion. Or all of us and Emma all of us and Emma says about all of us and Emma all of us and Emma all of us and Emma all of us and Emma all of us and we rise like a lion. We raise ourselves like an all of us and Emma. All of us and Emma says when we get up in the morning for all of us and Emma, we strengthen ourselves like a a lion cub to grab all of us and Emma, to wear a all of us and Emma, to say all of us and Emma, to wear all of us and Emma. So, if in the end of days we're being compared to a lion so as part of anticipating the all of us and Emma as the month of all of us and Emma is coming, it's already we've already been all of us and Emma. All of us and Emma tell us all of us and Emma all of us and Emma all of us and Emma all of us and Emma that in the month of all of us and Emma we were redeemed and we're destined to be redeemed in the month of all of us and Emma. The all of us and Emma great, great grandfather explains that annually, just like when all of us and Emma all of us and Emma, he brought us out of the all of us and Emma all of us and Emma in 30 days. So, too says the all of us and Emma every year 30 days before all of us and Emma begins to take us out of the Sha'arei Tumah. So, this operation, Operation Roaring Lion, should stir our heart our hearts to anticipate the Geulah, which Chazal teach us we will be Nimshal Ta'ari. So, we have to try to identify as many ways as possible that we should indeed be worthy of being compared to a lion in our pursuit of Hakadosh Baruch Hu and our pursuit of Mitzvos. Perhaps to strengthen ourselves now at this time to awaken earlier with more Zerizus to Mekayem Kriyas Shema, to Mekayem Tallis, to Mekayem Tefillin to fulfill all the Mitzvos Acharei Hashem Yelchu Ka'ari Yishag. And in this way, this physical battle will stir us internally to be able to be it should be Niskayem in us that the analogy to a lion, so that in fact we should be Zocheh to the great operation, the great Bracha the Geulah Sheleimah in this coming Nissan BeNisan Nigalu UveNisan Be'ezras Hashem Asidim Le'Higa'el.
