Okay, good morning. Amazing words of the Hafetz Chaim. At the end of the parashah, Miriam spoke lashon hara about Moshe. Miriam said, "Why did Moshe separate from his wife? There were nevi'im before Moshe, they didn't separate from their spouse. I didn't have to separate from my spouse." Miriam was married to Caleb. And all of a sudden, Hashem and Moshe and Aaron, Hashem suddenly appears. Rashi says that they were they were in a very tight situation because they were not tahor. They were not tahor. They were crying out, "Mayim, mayim." Rashi says "Mayim, mayim." They needed a mikvah. They were tamei. What's What was Hashem getting at? Says the Hafetz Chaim, Hashem was showing them that Moshe had to separate from his spouse cuz I could appear to him at any time. And he and he If I would appear to him suddenly, he wouldn't be in a state of tahara. He would have to be prepared. So, therefore, Moshe Rabbeinu had to separate from his spouse. By the way, I'll ask you just a completely side lamda sh'kasha, why did Aaron need a mikvah? Aaron wasn't at tefilas Ezra. Why did Why didn't Aaron go to the mikvah before Shacharis? Okay, weiter. But, that's not irrelevant to this. Says the Hafetz Chaim, "Why is this in the Torah? I need to know that Hashem came to a navi suddenly? Why do I need to know that Hashem could come suddenly?" Says the Hafetz Chaim, it was written 3,300 years ago for June 3rd, 2026. Why? Every day we claim we're waiting for the Geulah. In Malachi, in the third perek, it says Suddenly he could come to his palace, the master that you seek. Huh? Suddenly? You're telling me that I could just be walking down the street and all of a sudden I get a memo and that's it? Mashiach is here? If Hashem could come suddenly we need to get our act together to prepare for carbonois. You think you'll be able to learn all the halachos of avodah in an hour or two? The 8-minute Mashiach prep. You think when Mashiach comes then we're going to get like a crash course and in in a few minutes we'll know everything to do? Kim the kamashana, it takes years. needed 5 years. Especially if you're a kohein. All of those shicham all this needs preparation before shichashan pisoyim so that when the Almighty comes suddenly near muchanim lavoidosai, we're ready. I'm in the Sanhedrin. Look in Sanhedrin, I think it's the Gemara in Taanis also, that according to the rabbonan Yeah, it says in the Gemara in Taanis also that according to the rabbonan a kohein in Eretz Yisrael cannot drink wine ever. Because maybe Mashiach will come. And if he comes he won't be able to do that avoid that minute or that hour. So you see that when Messiah comes, things get going right away. There's no There's no um period a grace period of people getting their act together. No, you got to be ready. You got to be no kind. Somebody says I'm a Nazir when Messiah comes, you can't drink wine during the week. The Shagas Aryeh has a famous kasha. Why not? He's only coming in Nissan. So it should only be us are in Nissan. Anyway, so says the Hafetz Chaim back in the day in the 18th century, you could say the signs aren't present for Messiah to come. We came in the sky and we know you would just give a lot of money go but now all of the predictions and the prophecies are mentioned in the regarding the time of the redemption the end of Sota in Sanhedrin 77 and 78 they're all they all are fulfilled. You could check them all off. You could check off every single siman and by the way, in case one or two are missing in the last 90 years, we checked off the rest. You definitely could anticipate an immediate redemption. The Zohar says the Zohar says the Zohar says the Zohar says and therefore you need to get your act together to be prepared in the Avodah to do the Avodah in the Beit Hamikdash. We'll see more tomorrow. That's the lesson of Hashem. >> It's to stir you that the could happen and will happen. Have a good day everyone. >> Recording stopped.
