We have amazing material this year and uh as we shouldn't have to mourn for the bas mikdash but uh either way please join us at 5:30 Peninsula Boulevard. Tonight is our grand finale on this amazing topic we've been speaking about for about a month now. The topic of the revolt of Tonight we're going to talk about the tragic fall of Betar. The tragic fall of Betar. The Rambam writes in the in the Rambam says in paral says the Rambam five things happened on tishab it was decreed on our forefathers that they shouldn't enter and they were stuck in the midbar for 40 years the first basikdash was destroyed the second bas was destroyed by the way the first and second ba mikdash were both destroyed on mat shabas the way the calendar is this Here that was the calendar and the times both of the Bishan and the Bay. Then the Rambam says the fourth tragedy is a great city was captured. Its name was there were thousands there were tens of thousands of Jews. We're going to see according to one account 40 million Jews were killed in Betar. million. 40 million Jews were killed in betar according to one account in the gar and there was a great king all of Israel thought all the thoughts right remember we ra it wasn't only who thought was messiah all the thought that was messiahal now this is interesting what happened to remember we learned the garra. The garra says they killed him. Simply the garra means the killed him. The ram says no he fell in the hands of the Romans. They were all murdered. It was a tragedy on par with the destruction of the mikdash. Where did the ram get that from? That it was on par with the destruction of B mikdash. From where does the Rambam know that it was such a great tragedy that the Rambam by the way doesn't say that about the Rambam doesn't say that about the fact that Toris Rufus plowed over the Makam Mikdash. The Rambam specifically comments on the fall of Betar that the fall of Betar was on par with the destruction of B. Where did the Rambam get this from? So a few interesting things you need to know. First of all, what ultimately brought about the downfall of Betar? The gitan says on Zion the side of a carriage, the side of a carriage there was a a wedding. You know it always weddings it always starts with a wedding. What happened? The side of the carriage brought down betar. The min in betar was or maybe in all of Israel that when a young man was born they would plant a cedar tree. When a young woman was born when a girl was born they would plant a pine tree. When it came time to get married they would cut the cedar tree. They would cut the pine tree and they would make a canopy from these two trees. One day the daughter of the Caesar, I guess the daughter of Hadrien was passing by and her car broke down. The side of her carriage fell off. So they needed a tree. So they cut down one of these trees. And what happened? The Jewish rebels who were getting very courageous and very brave and very autonomous and were smelling independence. They pounced on the legion representing the daughter of the Caesar. They told the Caesar the Jews are rebelling and Hadrien said that's it. Hadrien sent his best general Seis and that's how the siege of Betar began. The Gomorrah gives the most graphic account of the fall of Betar of any tragedy that ever happened in the Jewish in the history of the Jewish people. There is no tragedy that is more graphically depicted than the fall of the says that God cut down in his wrath all the honor of Israel. 80,000 division Roman leaders entered Betar. They killed men, women, children until the blood flowed all the way to the Yamhagal. So the Garra says, "Well, maybe you'll say the Yamaha is close to Betar." No, the Gumar says it was a mill away. A mill is 2,000 Am. If you look in the US, the USI says it was 40 mil away. It was 40 mil away. So how do you reconcile that? It's not clear. It seems that what it means is the blood was so voluminous. There was so much blood. The blood colored the sea for 40 mil for about 40 miles. How far is Cyprus from uh >> Israel? Anybody know? Anyway, there was a lot of blood. So much blood. The garra says that look at this account. There are two rivers that flow in that area. One flows in one direction, one flows another direction. And the rabbis estimated 2/3 of the river was blood. Only one/ird was water. The Gmorrah says for seven years the Gentiles did not need to fertilize their fields. It was fertilized with Jewish blood. to the point where the Garra continues by the way that and I would suggest this is the source of where the Rambam got that the fall of Betar was on par with the destruction of Ba Mikdash. The Gmorra says in Giten number five on the call the voice of Yakov is Hadrien who killed in Alexandria Hadrien killed Jews in Alexandria. There were many Jews in Alexandria in the time he killed 1.2 2 million Jews. 1.2 million Jews alishi co this is aspianis by the way the yak of emden and others changed the gera because vespasian is long gone. Vespasian was the the roman uh caesar in the time of destruction of the basikdash. Betar is 50 years after the destruction of basd. So they changed the gera to againrien. Hadrien killed in betar arba Mayos rebi 400 myriads what is 400* 10,000 >> 4 million >> what >> 4 million >> 4 million are you an accountant see the yeshiva 4 million [Music] some say 4,000 and myriads. Ask him how much that is. >> What? >> 40 million? >> Well, 40 million. 40 million. Okay, that's a lot of Jews. Imagine if, by the way, if there were 40 million Jews 2,000 years ago, that would make that today there would be trillions, >> you know. But that's what the Gomorrah says. Now there is an idea sometimes when the garra uses the new the number four or six it could be hyperbole okay but still it was a lot it was a lot then the garra says these are the Romans who destroyed the bikar so it's very interesting the garra darian's one puk referring to the fall of betar and the destruction of the b mikdash maybe this is the source of the ram that the fall of betar is on par with the destruction of the bame mikdash Now what happened to Baraka? What happened to him? The Rambam seemed to say he fell in the hands of the Romans. If you remember, look at number eight. You remember we learned in Sanhedrin that bar reigned for two and a half years. But we know we have one identifying mark of Mashiach. Who remembers what's ident? How do we know if somebody's Msiah? If you could smell out the case. So they said new sniff out the case. He couldn't do it. He needed evidence. So they the Garra says they killed him. That implies the Jews killed him. >> The right the Rambam says no he fell in the hands of the Romans. We have a third account in the US. The usami in Tinus. The usami and Tinus says like this. The Usami says when Betar was captured, Bar was killed. They brought his head to Hadrien. We just visit. I told you I just visited Hrien. He's buried in what's it called? Mayor. Well, he's buried in >> Castell Santangelo. That's where his remains were. But when the crusaders came, they took his ashes and they scattered it in the river. We looked for the ashes. We couldn't find them anymore. They weren't available. But so we went to Hadrien. The Gomorrah says they brought the bad they brought the head of Bara to Hadrien. Hrien said, "Who killed him?" Who? Who killed this guy? One of the early Christians said, "I killed him." So Bara said, "You killed him. Where's the body?" >> Hrien said, "Where's the body? You killed him. Where's What do you mean the head? What am I going to do with the head? Where's the body?" They found a snake coiled around his body. Hrien said, "If God did not kill this man, he never would have died like this." So Hrien went and they killed so many Jews until the blood was so deep that when horses would walk in the street, the blood went up to the nose of the horse. The blood, the rivers of blood were so great that there were stones that weighed 40 saw that were rolling in the streets. There were like, you know, massive boulders just floating in the street from the rivers of blood. There was so much blood that they tra the blood traveled 40 mil into the sea. 40 miles into the sea. They found on one stone the brains of 300 children. The garra and the bavi and the usami has different accounts how many pairs of fillain they found just discarded. Now so what was going on in betar in the time? The garumar says in betar there were 500 yeshivas. Each yeshiva had 500 tamidim minimum. How many survivors were there? There was only one survivor. Who was the only survivor of the war of betar? Raben Shiman Bengal was the only survivor. Hahrien had a big orchard in Tavaria. It was 18 miles by 18 miles. He killed so many bodies that he made a fence around his 18-mi orchard of just corpses. And if you think it sounds like hyperbole, this this is this is like a description of holocaust. Okay, this is worse than the mikdash. Those bodies lay there for a very very very long time. But miraculously the bodies didn't rot. The gumar the usami says in tinus. The garra says in brais. The garra says in tinus. The Gumarra says in Baba Basra that when the bodies miraculously did were buried when Hashem allowed them to be buried they were maka that was niskan that the harug bet their bodies did in rot and they were given to burial. So you say, "I don't understand. I just ate a salami sandwich. I put mustard on it, pickles. Why do I need to think about the harug betar? Now's the time to think about the the slain of betar. That's the occasion. What exactly is it doing in why is it so important that every single time I bench I remember the slain of betar?" Okay. The usami actually says that betar lived in peace for 52 years until it was destroyed. So the us so what did they do wrong that they they were destroyed like this what was their big sin we have to come back to the end of the usi let's talk about what happened to the raam says he fell in the hands of the Romans the garan sanhedrin says seemingly the rabanon killed him the says he was killed by a snake so which one of these three things happened it's interesting you Now do you remember the Rambam in Alf? The Rambam says that if somebody says they're Msiah, we don't ask them to split the sea. We don't ask them to perform any miracles. Remember the Rambam says we don't need him to do anything supernatural. The rivid I made a mistake. Number nine should be the rivid. Okay. The rivid asks on the Rambam. Really? We don't ask Msiah to do a miracle. I thought they asked. No, smell out the case. So we see we do ask Msiah to to perform a miracle. It's interesting that the rivid only asks this question on the Rambam and Husim. The Rivid doesn't say anything about what the Rambam says in Hin because part of the Ravid's question seems to be Rambam, how could you say that the rabbis killed Bara? The how how could the Rambam says that he fell in the hands of the Romans, but the Gomorrah says that the killed him. It seems like the rivet is bothered by two questions. Question number one is the Rambam says that fell to the Romans and the Gomorrah says the Rabanon killed him. Question number two is why does the Rambam say we don't ask Msiah to perform a miracle but the Gmorrah says they asked him to smell out the case. So there's a safer mate Yehuda number nine should be the safer mate Yehuda. He says the rivid doesn't care who killed Bara. Who care who killed who cares who killed Bara? It matters if the killed him or if the Romans killed him or a snake killed him. It's not there's no who killed. The rivet has more better things to worry about than exactly how died. The rahim and the rabbit are they're not they're not concerned with so the rivet would say who killed him between different garas and different midrashim. Did theim kill him? Did the Romans kill him? Did a snake kill him? The rabbit is just asking a question. The Ram says we don't ask Msiah to perform any miracles. And the garra seems to indicate we're going to ask Msiah to smell out the case. So the opinion of M Yehuda is who killed? We don't know exactly. The Garra implies the killed him. Maybe the usi implies a snake killed him or the Romans killed him. It's not really that important. The on the Rambam says it's what we call very very important it is a dispute among various agadic teachings who exactly killed Bara or the Radvas actually I have my friend came from Israel and he gave me twothirds of the trilogy the Abel wrote a famous trilogy on the coming of Msiah he wrote may Yeshua He wrote a second volume which he gave me but Yeshua Mashia is not available in America. So actually I messaged Beagleizing today. They they have it. So I tell them get it over to me right away. It's already on the I just don't have the I don't have the actual safer Yeshua is the Abarbanel's commentary on the coming of Messiah. And the Abbanel says that probably what happened is because Bara could not smell out the case he should die and in fact as soon as the rabbis he should die the heavens came and they took care of him. So it's not that the rabbis got their hands dirty. Once they pass and either the snake came or the Romans came, how do we make an assessment of or can we are we allowed to? So many years ago and actually it's in it's it's it's in the Lakimmer book. We said over from Mosha Shapiro that if Rabbi Akiva thought Bar was Messiah then he could have been Msiah and he could have built the third B mikdash. We mentioned many many times Hadrien originally gave word that the Jewish people should return and rebuild the third B mikdash and then the Christians said no don't let them do it they're not going to pay taxes so he rescended which means could have been Msiah he could have rebuilt the third B mikdash so his frustrated messianic mission was analogous to the destruction of a bas mikdash so that seems to imply that he had holy roots If you remember, we learned in one of the earlier shirim the Rami pano whose yard site was the raami pano says that bara was the golgul of the leader of the baim who left mim 30 years old early. He thought he'd be able to so to speak forcibly force the envelope push the envelope and bring redemption to the Jewish people by his own brute strength and his own willpower. and Bara made the same mistake. So that indicates that there was some kind of perhaps um pagam in the in the mission of and the panu even says that msiach benim he calls it will come and rectify this but sasporas do you remember we we spoke about rabakov sasporas but rabakov sasporas I believe we spoke about him two years ago on rabakov sasporas was the first and the most vehement opponent to Sha we had this to be at his ke twice two different times that I was in Amsterdam I made sure to go to Rabakas's he wrote the he was the most he was the first one alerted to the poisonous scheme of he vehemently spoke out against him thank you actually we we once said at Batamos which is a day that commemorates theel is the day that we mourn the disaster of the Msiah Shak so I have a friend in a who lives in Amsterdam that since he heard that shar every he makes sure to go to the kev of sasporas and he's there he sends me a message and it's not so easy to get in he doesn't always have the key how do you get into a a cemetery without having the key that's something that let's just day couldn't be done. Okay. But he makes sure to get in and he sends me a message and he's mispo at the ke of Rabaku saspas. Rabbi Sasporas received a letter and the from a follower of Shai and the follower of Shabiti sends to Rabaku Sasporas he says in my assessment had ana to which Rabyaku Saspora says and I'm afraid to say this I'm just telling you what he said he said a holy soul really in my opinion he has the he has the holy soul of your master meaning he's talking to the follower of he says you say had yeah he has the same nama as your guy as your guy just like the master is the servant meaning is making an analogy between two so to speak futile efforts from Msiah he says says shove him. They stumbled on the same stumbling block and they are found to be missing says study the history of and then you tell me if he had I'm afraid to say it. I'm just reading the words. That's what Raviaku saspa said. Raviak of Emden did not have a better assessment. Raviak of Mden as we know did not mince words and if there was something that he felt was out of line he would publicize it. And we know he was a vehement opponent of not only Shaiti but any of the of his time who he smelled any of the even remote odor of Shaitvi including some of the all-time greatest and we're not going to speak about it now makes a list of two kinds of false messiahs. he what he calls tipim and rashim. Okay, there are only two kinds of msiahs. So shap soakden in his list of tipsim basically foolish impostors. Okay, that's the better category to be in. You're better off if you're basically here are the two options. You know what are that's one category that's the category of the other categories. Now now the has a certain assessment of the tone in which Rabakden um relayed his opinions. For example, the feels that perhaps it was certain things were expressed too harshly. But these are the words of by the way said about he was a ni. Okay said was a ni and he didn't say that about me. Okay said was a ni in the list of tips. Now each of these categories has a fatherhood identifies the father of tips and on this list by the way are people let's say and I don't want to say their names because puts them in rein him I'll say because we get that was last year do you remember that and re alifhammed. I'm not going to say who that is. And a bunch of other gentlemen, the father head of tips. Why are they pim? They violated they were punished even though their kavana was letova and they didn't violate any in a reason why they were punished is they violated the oath that hashem made swear not to push the envelope on the gula. Don't push the envelope. You can't force the issue. By the way, even though there's like a very fine line, I'm just telling you personally, there's a very fine line between you're not to push the envelope, but you also can't be too chilled out about it. You can't say, "Oh, no, it's not a good time for you." Okay, never mind. Make believe I didn't ask. No, you have to push it a little bit. >> That's Yeshua. You know, there's a good book on. But in the book on Yeshua which is available there's a chapter called demanding says you have to be which says means you have to be in other words let's say let's say um you know you're collecting you can't demand the money you know the walks in very poorly maybe if it's a good time for you you know I was just but if somebody owes you you know, and you have an invoice. You don't say, "I'm just wondering if maybe you know, you know, you owe me, you owe me money for like the last 10 years. Maybe you want to pay up. You told me you're you say you owe me money could pay up already." So the says you have to treat the gul like an invoice. You have to be but still you can't push the envelope. Rabakden says pushing the envelope is a great stumbling block for the Jewish people. It arouses the animosity of the nations of the world. It causes Hashem to remove his hashka from Israel and therefore the opinion of Ryak Sasporas and Rabak was pretty critical in the in the summation of so why did Hashem make that this happen? Why does Hashem bring to the Jewish people these false messiahs that always cause disaster? So this is a very broad question. I'm going to share with you something very powerful. I'm hesitant to say it, but what could we do? If you if >> are you saying that the reason why was destroyed was because of our >> No, no, no. Not no. That's not necessarily why it was destroyed. But Rabyakden says these people who pushed the envelope on the gula cause disaster for the Jewish people. So throughout history, practically every single attempt of a false Messiah brings disaster. Now you could open up almost any Rambam today and the following passage from the Rambam is missing. The sensors took it out and probably you could imagine why the sensors took it out. In the Shabsy Franco Rambam, it appears also in the Rambam. The following passage of the Rambam appears. The Rambam writes in you ready for this? The thoughts of the rebon are impossible to comprehend. His ways are not our ways. Why did God bring the Christian religion to the world? Why did God bring Islam to the world? They actually serve a very important purpose. The purpose of Christianity and Islam is to pave the way for the coming of Messiah. Why? Because one day Messiah's going to knock on the door and he's going to tell the whole world there's one God. He gave the Torah to the Jewish people. God selected the Jewish people to be a light onto the nations. The world will now have peace. But it will be impossible if the world never heard about the concept of Messiah. they will not be able to assimilate and understand the concept of a messiah of redemption of the Jewish people. So therefore, God created, he allowed the formation of the world religions. So that almost everyone in the world believes in Messiah, but they have a distorted view on what Messiah is. So that when Msiah, the real Messiah comes, what Messiah will do is he'll just say, "You're right. You're right. You got it right. You believe in Messiah. We just need to tweak it a little bit. He didn't come 2,000 years ago. He's coming today. But you know what Messiah is. you know what it's supposed to look like. This, you know, the 2,000 years of persecution is not the world peace that Messiah was supposed to bring. It's here today. So, the nations are all say, "Oh, okay, fine. We understand Msiah. We know what Shabas is. We just kept Friday. We just kept Sunday. We know what mitzvah are. We just distorted them." You see, says the Ram, the purpose of the world religions is to pave the way for the Malik Mashiach. the whole world believes in some messianic concept although albeit a distorted one. So then when Messiah comes all he'll need to do is he doesn't have to reinvent the wheel. He'll just tweak and modify the beliefs of the various nations of the world. Some nations say Messiah already came. Some nations have a a certain view of Messiah. the true Mashiach will come and the lion of the I believe is alima that Mashiach will merely turn around be the erroneous beliefs of the nations of the world comes in and Yeshua Mashia are you ready for this is astounding do you remember the desar the daf learned it recently first 2,000 years of the world existence is second 2,000 years are days of Tyra. The last 2,000 years are Yo Hamashiach. Did you know the Gmorra said that the first 2,000 years of world history are empty and void until Abrau at age 52. Abra was born 1948. At age 52 he recognized Hashem in the year 2000 and it ushered in 2,000 years of Tyra. And the last 2,000 years of world history are Hamashiach asks Abrael really he came he came 1700 years ago says Abrael when the Gomorrah says that beginning in the year 4000 are you mosiach what that means is did you realize before the year 4000 nobody ever breathed the word about Messiah and in the year 4000 all of a sudden the whole world the main topic that occupies the world attention is the coming of the Messiah whether it's Yeshu Hanitri who comes to the scene about in the year 400. So he brought attention to the concept of Messiah although a false messiah and then even among the Jews announces he's the Messiah. So what does this do in the context of what the Rambam says that the purpose of the false Messiah is to bring awareness to the world of what Messiah is so that when Mashiach come he'll merely modify the erroneous viewpoints of the nations of the world beginning in the year 400 through Yeshuan through the Yeshim through and through a lot of the other individuals and characters who were false Messiah They serve a purpose. Unfortunately, often it brings disaster, but that's the purpose. The purpose is like the Garra says, it's not that the 2,000 years of the final 2,000 years of the world are the coming of Msiah, but the lion of theel. I want to read to you his words because that would explain many emails that I get. I get at least one email a week of somebody who reveals that they're Msiah. Why? Why they want to reveal specifically to me? I don't know but it's you know on average on average an email a week of a guy who he feels the world must know. Okay. But this is all part of what Abra is saying in the last 2,000 years. It's like in the air and even in in uh in USA there's a syndrome. There's you know the the the messiah syndrome where people just you know they they they need to announce this you know breaking news. Um the lion of the barbanel is it's now h you ready for this unbelievable line whether it's whether it's the whether It's as if there's something in the air. From the year 4,000 and on, Messiah is in the air. Is it good? It has a good aspect. Is it dangerous? Whoa. Is it dangerous? Boy, is it dangerous. I want to share with you mamish a gift from Shamayim. Can I have a sar? Thank you. Thank you. You know after you eat bread there's something called bread and people eat it and after they eat it they say we all know the final is says it's that was enacted in yavn those who were slain in bet because said the day that The harug were given to burial. They were makav. The bodies didn't rot. The hame that they were buried. So I had a nice meal. The day was going good until now. And all of a sudden I have to start thinking about you know rivers of blood and horses up to their nose in blood with a you know Hadrien's Tavaria palace with a fence of of corpses. Why is this important to But I was thinking about what are what in the world are these doing here? What's that doing there? What's that doing here? You want to talk? If I were to ask you, I stop in the street corner. Where is the best place to dab in for ilio? H best place. After I eat a salami sandwich and I and I say, you need to d for ilio. I mean, what's it got to do the price of tea in China? How do you get how do you drag Io into this? At the bris, you know, you have the you should sing Rabaminhers says something frightening. He says why were Kazala the of he says during the time of the of Hadrien the Jewish people made a mistake. Ready? This is what he says. The mistake was they thought that the destiny of the Jewish people lay in their own hands and with war and physical strength they could reclaim the former glory of the Jewish people. And it's a mistake. Only God will control the ultimate destiny of the Jewish people. It's not physically in our hands. And in order to remind the Jewish people that once the gulus begins our destiny lay only in the hands of Hashem doesn't lay in any any individual's hand. No one we don't control our ultimate destiny. Only God will bring that day. No person, no power, no empire, no force, no human intervention will bring the great day. No, you hear this. No, this not I'm not telling I'm not Don't say this. I'm not telling you hashkafa. I'm I'm telling you what he says. No human intervention can bring the great day. In order for the Jewish people to remember that they were makra, don't ever forget what happened at betar. You will never have a more powerful general and army and force and ability to gain independence than And it was a miserable failure. And their bodies lay there until the Almighty came and had Rahmanas on those bodies and allowed those bodies to be buried and preserve those bodies. As if to say what God is saying is you're not going to do it on yourself. But when you just step back, watch what I could do. Watch what I could do. The bodies lay there for years and years and years. It didn't rot. Anybody know you leave a body out in a day like today? Tell us. You know, right? It's uh it's it's terrible. Imagine it's gets it's hot. It gets hot in in Betar. It's a hot place. And the bodies stayed there for years and they did in rot and then they were finally buried. The message is that in the gulus we have to remember that the great day is only dependent on Hashem. That's the lesson of the disastrous downfall of betaram. That's the emphasis. You want redemption. He's the only one who could do it. He helped you in the past. And you know what else? You know, you're hoping for Msiah. It's going to be this guy and this rabbi and this person. You're making a big mistake. Says Schwab says, "You can never hang your hat on any human being. Heaven forbid to hang your hat on a human being. and a human being. You know why? One day he's going to die. He's going to go back to the earth and then you're finished. So what do you do in the gulos ashro? You can only trust in hashem how it's going to play out. He knows how to take care of it. God knows how to take. You don't have to write the script. He has the script written. Says Therefore, right after the you know who's the I don't know but our king is going to be God. He'll he'll decide who the the goeteen is. So I would humbly add so really so what do we do? What are we supposed to do? God said I'm going to let you know. You know, I'm going to let you know and he's going to tell you Yeshua. He'll give you the memo. When the time comes, you'll get your phone will buzz. The time is here will give you the if you want to know how you going to know. So the benching ends who for all generations and how am I going to get to so he's going to break the yoke of the nations. That doesn't mean if you have the opportunity to go you shouldn't go. Well how can you not? If you could go you got to go. It's a mitzvah to live in Israel. If you want to know but who's gonna bring me there who and I would add I think that's why we add but one more point okay this is think about we end you ate your sandwich and we thank Hashem for the problem is we're in golus now so we ask Hashem You know, you can't even have a knife out on the table because you have a knife on the table you might take the knife and plunge it into your heart being so distraught saying so we just prayed for the rebuilding of you know you want to get up and go and you know just let's let's go let's gain our uh let's bring the redemption. So they were maki and says of no didn't work not a good idea not a good so who's our king who and who's going to give us the memo I'm not telling you my opinion here I'm just telling you what says Again, if you want to temper what he says a little bit, by the way, it's well known. This is very consistent with his view on the establishment of of Israel. By the way, this is very consistent with his personal view. I'm not I'm not here to talk about uh the hashkaf of that. If you want to temper it a little bit, you could say, okay, in the times of they were so trusting in their brute strength and their power, like would say, the people would say, God, don't help me and don't interfere because you could say, well, look, ultimately, you got to do youras in this world, but you always have to recognize it's with the help of Hashem. And they took it too far. You know said if you want to be in my army you got to be you got to rip off your fingers and have the blood drip down. That will prove that you're courageous enough. In any event, so you ask is that why bet was destroyed? No. You know why it was destroyed? Let's go back to the says the lama. Take a look at number six. Why was why was bet destroyed? When the temple was destroyed, they were partying in betar. And you tell me what you would have done when the B was destroyed. Cuz actually the the Yami says that in the people of were nasty to the people of Betar. They would set up like this commission and when people from betaar would go to be ole regal they said where are you going you want to be ole regal or you want to like get a government job they said what are you talking about we don't want a government job we want to go to be rea they said you sure I think maybe you're looking to be a government job just want to know you own that house that's your house yeah no you don't own it anymore they would write aar that the guy who was going to be sold the pe the governor and their And they would they would just maliciously steal the property of the ben. Now when the garra says that the bet was destroyed because of sinam and you wonder like well what kind of what they didn't like each other. They you know they stepped on each other's toe. There were the usami says there was nasty financial swindling going on between the benalim and the benar where the benu shalim like in mafia style would would do hostile takeover of the real estate of the bay betar. So when usual fell they were happy in beta he said good you you know good for those nasty people in so the shami according to the carbon says that even though in betar they didn't have because it wasn't it was for good reason in betar the s they had was for good reason but still to celebrate the destruction of ba mikdash that is what did them in the gar by the way in gan says something similar about that it was destroyed and says that was destroyed because they were the ramifications of studying this tragedy are very powerful. I didn't spell out every single detail, but if you listen carefully, the ramifications are very contemporary and very timely. And this is one of the great tragedies that we mourn on Tishab cuz this ultimately so to speak sealed the fate of the Jewish people that until the great day comes we're awaiting the memo from Elio Anovi and that's why we're Mal and the basically the furthest we're able to go is to be more than that more than that we're not able to do until we get that great memo from Elovi This is taking forever.
