The Day that the Entire Nation Sinned

There was a lot of buzz and chatter over the last week whether or not in Jewish history there was ever a time that Klaussner brought a parallel to the Shiva. Many people ask this question. What's the answer to the first Kamara? It's the first Kamara. I know you lost and you see a parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel Plus you said that you saw the parallel and you saw there was down from the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel and you saw the parallel We spoke it out when we learned Masaka's my cotton duct tape. It's a a modern mocking that you did the echo in the echo of Rabbi Gartenhaus showed me many many years ago. It's a aura from the rugged sofa guy. The ruin had bottom the mission armor. So the background to this kid is from the rugged sofa is it's actually not printed in the original swarm from the rugged sofa. It's in the two of us a dodge is a Haley base. It's origin comes from a safer that has in it a a collection of different letters that different Sadik and Israel wrote to Rav Cook. And one of those letters was written by you whose name was Rav Avram Diamant. And he writes to Rav Cook that he was corresponding with the rugged sofa and the rugged sofa told him a vivid and he wants to share it with the rather Rashi. This is what he's sending him. But either way he's writing to him this kid is that the rugged sofa had told him. And the background to this khidush is a well-known Gemara in Maseches Makos daf tes amud aleph. So, we know, we actually saw this earlier in the Maseches, that and this is very much dovvei bi itei mativ, HaMelech, when he inaugurated the First Beis HaMikdash, so really when did it get ready? It was mamish in the beginning of of Chodesh Tishrei. It was right around Sukkos time. And really, the celebration of the Chanukas HaMikdash could have very much overlapped and coincided together with the celebration of Sukkos. But because of eima ve'eima ve'simcha, HaMelech understood that you can't combine the two. So, what he decided to do was is that seven days prior to Sukkos, the Yidden would celebrate the Chanukas HaMikdash, and then the immediate seven days that would follow would be the seven days of Sukkos. And the pasuk talks about how it was 14 days of Yom Tov and simcha and celebration. And it was a gevaldige gevaldige simcha. So again, the party started when? It started on ches Tishrei. So, it was ches, tes, yud, yud aleph, yud beis, yud gimmel, yud dalet, and then it went right into the seven days of Yom Tov. The Gemara says, "Omrei Rabbeinu Omrei Rabbeinu Oisa shana, that year, that the Yidden celebrated the Chanukas HaMikdash, this is HaMelech's Beis HaMikdash, lo asu Yisrael Yom HaKippurim." The Yidden did not observe Yom Kippur. Meaning, they ate and they drank on Yom Kippur. For Yidden, you can imagine, they got very, very worried. They were mamish celebrating. They were celebrating, it was Yom Tov. So, there's boser, there's yayin, there wasn't Yom Kippur. And they thought to themselves, "Shema Yisrael, chayevim she Yisrael klayah. Maybe we're chayev misah." Yatz'a bas kol v'amra, "Lo amra bas kol came out and told them, "Kolchem mezumanim l'olam haba." Chevre, you have nothing to worry about. Every single person here is going to be zoiche l'olam haba. Now, the Gemara says, "Mai da as?" What was the hava mina? What places did they have to go ahead and be mevattel Yom Kippur? How are you eating and drinking on Yom Kippur? It's not something you're allowed to do. Omru kavod haTorah They said no, we could it from the first one. They said was transient, right? It was very temporary. It wasn't forever. The carbon yet you find that in the Mishkan the carbon that didn't seem brought by the Mishkan was this is which is very common which is so which is which is more than the Mishkan then for sure a carbon fever for they said like this they said by the Mishkan to a carbon that would happen The Mishkan is less common, right? It's Island. And the most killing yet it was so they said for sure it goes without saying that as it relates to the Mishkan Mishkan which is more common you'd be able to eat on Yom Kippur which is only if Mishkan you could be over killing then for Mishkan you could be over either way this was the carbon that they made stating that they got very nervous. In fact the Mishkan continues and the Mishkan says I'm skipping several lines. The Mishkan says how did they didn't know that they got a full Mishkan so the Mishkan says tell me the Mishkan Mishkan Mishkan by Mishkan by Mishkan on the eighth day the eighth day of so Mishkan everybody home and he sent them back to their tents. What does it mean they went to their tents? They must have been tired. They came home, their wives were all tired. They were happy. Every single one of their wives became pregnant with a a boy. I'll call again a lot of drama. Seven days of Yom Kippur starting going right through to Arab Sukkot and then another seven days of Sukkot. They violated Yom Kippur. They ate and they drank on Yom Kippur. What's going on over here? But they made a If the was then the for sure is Shabbat is skilo, Yom Kippur is kores, is not is Saying that they started getting a little bit nervous. How you die again? They were very very worried. The said and not only they came home much in the same attire. They were It turned out to be very very very festive. When you learn this I think 100 out of 100 times the way you're going to learn this is that what emerged from the that the heard was that the that they made was a good The made a They said we think we can eat on Yom Kippur, right? Based on a whole You know you know you could. You were 100% They would die again because they said you're not maybe there's a on the right? that in order to you have to be a You have to be tonight to said you have to be a to make sure there's no on the right? You have to you right? But the bottom line is is that they started getting nervous. I don't know, maybe we botched up this and if we botched up the Kal V'Chomer, we have a little bit of a problem. We all ate on Yom Kippur over there. This is not going to be good. And the Bas Kol came and said, "No worries. No, you got it right. There's no Pircha. You got it 100% right." But the Rogatchover with his tremendous Koach Ha'Chiddush, he said, "I don't think that's what happened over there." In fact, he says as follows. He says the Gemara says in Maseches Yoma Daf Pey Aleph Amud Aleph. So the Gemara over here is comparing and contrasting the Issur Melacha on Yom Kippur versus the five Inuyim on Yom Kippur. So Yom Kippur is like Shabbos. You're not allowed to do all of the Melachos. Additionally, Yom Kippur, you have the Halacha of Ta'anuss Nafsho She'Beisach. You have the Chamisha Inuyim. And the Gemara is like comparing and contrasting which is better, which is worse. It's Ein Sham in the middle of a of a long Sugya. And the Gemara says that Melacha has a Kulah. Melacha has a Kulah over Ta'anuss Nafsho She'Beisach. You know why? Because Melacha is Hutan Mi'Chlala. You're allowed to bring Korbanos on Yom Kippur. So as much as you're not allowed to do Avodah, but you find there's a Shchita with the Aktara. It's Hutan Mi'Chlala. As opposed to Achilas She'Niyum, you don't find anywhere. You don't find anywhere that there's a Heter to eat and drink on Yom Kippur. Frightened the Rogatchover. What do you mean? I just found a Heter. I found a Heter to be able to eat and drink on Yom Kippur. You know when? If there'd be a Chanukas Ha'Mishkan. If there would be a Chanukas Ha'Mishkan, you'd be allowed to eat and drink on Yom Kippur. It's a Kal V'Chomer. Ma Nishgane D'Shabbos Korban Yachid Docheh Shabbos, this is Kulah. Mishkan D'Shabbos Korban Tzibbur Gibbun Al Nishgarash Kosh Kein, right? It's a Kal V'Chomer. So what said the Gemara in Yoma Pey Aleph Amud Aleph, asked the Rogatchover. That Melacha is Hutan Mi'Chlala as opposed to Ta'anuss Nafsho She'Beisach. Achilas She'Niyum Kippur is not Hutan Mi'Chlala. Melacha is also Hutan Mi'Chlala. It's Hutan Mi'Chlala when? By Chanukas Ha'Mishkan. Said the Rogatchover, "It's Muchach from here. It's not Hutan Mi'Chlala. It's Muchach from here that what the Yidden did was really wrong. And he said, "Emes, I think it's in Mefurash in Tehillos Kehunah. The Tehillos Kehunah is in Parshas Tzav. In Parshas the passage says who got over. Says the terrorist kind of what is it mean who got that you should know the laws of Kippur are going to apply even the base over. They're going to apply the base what you had to have a minute that when they are going to come they are going to be by the base all of a sudden these are not going to apply. What would even be the have a minute? Say the question what the terrorist kind of was coming to address it was coming to address this kind of was a wrong kind of said the it was wrong the who got the base this Kippur don't ever make a that maybe we could violate your Kippur based on a couple of the kind of no. Who got Kippur is going to apply even the base so the has said based on the new and the in my saying. That the excellent that they didn't make that kind of was a flawed kind of well if that's the case said the so what's of shots why would they have a minute? Why I don't understand they made a choice they forgot they should have known the says in that it's not they should have known the kind of the terrorist kind of the who got is the base so why did they get over? Said the the new that if the didn't say nobody could ever say he said you know why they got they got cuz they brought a part of that's why they got he said because. Eating and drinking on your Kippur is a crisis and if it's a crisis and all of them did it and not only did all of them do it they did it cuz they play role because on Paskin this was the right thing to do. Well, if that's the case, this is your classic Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur. They brought the Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur and when they brought it, Yotzei Shabbat Kol Amro. Kulchem is the one of Mechayav Elam Habah and that's how they got Kaparah. This is fire, right? Well, get ready for the punchline. Said the Rogatchover, with this you can understand the Oimek. And by the way, it's just three irons, right? But said the Rogatchover, he's this With this you can understand the Oimek of a Gemara in Horayus Daf Gimel Amud Aleph. We just learned this Gemara a couple days ago. The Gemara said, Omar Rabah Asi, Rabah Asi said, this is so much worse. Ub'Horayus Halacha Derech Yotzei Eretz Yisrael. When it comes to determining the Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur, Rov Klal or Not Rov Klal, how do you count census? Who matters? You go Boser Rov Yotzei Eretz Yisrael. How do you know that? So the Gemara says, I know from a Pasuk. She Nemai Tzei Vayash Ba'eisah He'asah Chag V'chol Yisrael Imo. Kol Gadol V'chamas Anacham Tzei V'nacham Ben Kenaani Ben Shivas Yomim. Arba'ah Asor Yomim. And faith the Gemara, he says, what do you have to tell me from sea to shining sea? I know it's everybody. It's coming to teach me that only the people that lived from the Vayichamas Anacham Mitzrayim are considered Kahal and that's how you know that the definition of Kahal when it comes to the Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur is Daf Gimel. Says the Rogatchover, funny Makor. This I mean good. Makor is a Makor is a Makor. This is the Makor of Halacha in Perek Gimmel. So he says, the Oimek of the Makor is cuz that door those triggered the Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur. It was this Yom Tov of Shivas Yomim of Shivas Yomim Arba'ah Asor Yomim and the Torah said they brought a Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur. You know why? Because all the Yidden that were in Eretz Yisrael from the Vayichamas Anacham Mitzrayim had sinned and that's how you know, you bring a Par Elam Davar Shel Tzibur as long as that is the It's not Punct over here in Malachim Aleph talked away Perek Ches Pasuk Samech Ches. It's a funny place to have this Halacha. Said the Rogatchover, no, it's here because this was a real life story. It was a real Ma'aseh She'eiyah Kacha. and because this was a real and this was the case with the year didn't so you see that they are the only ones that matter. They are the only ones that matter when it comes to the and then the one other again you have to have the plates is that the head to say things like this and that is we know that the not too distant future is trying to rub we know is a young a part of this talks us about right the I get the etc. etc. And really it's a on a very very high level and it's not clear what the to it is right and this is there is a lot but in it's very very unclear. The said that if you make the when did the bring this said the they brought it on the 14th day. They brought it on and being that when they brought this where the entire nation had sinned and they did a and the didn't have that this day is a special day. It's a day where the were able to sin but at the same time cool is a and by the next day fire by the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the all the moch loch." This is a classic Rav Gershon on so many levels. The two shelter Yuma pay aleph in the Terres Kayan in Parshas Zion. But also the learning Gemara in my cotton dust test mom is forget from the way the whole world learns the Gemara. But you learn the Gemara, the basket was telling the Yidden that you got the you got the cover camera right. The Rav Gershon said, "Punk forget, they got it wrong." Well, if they got it wrong, then why did they get cover photo? Cuz they put a parallel in the double show tzeevor. Now, if this was the only parallel in the double show tzeevor ever, it would have been even a bigger but we know there was a parallel in the double show tzeevor which the show him seemingly say what happened by by a shinny. So this is not Melech's parallel in the double show tzeevor. So we know already there's a parallel in the double show tzeevor. But we have a real life example, a real life account of a parallel in the double show tzeevor and mom is the top of all of the top of all of the Rav Gershon said that's even the McCoy. That's even the McCoy of Melech just one last tiny hora and that is I found Simcha Meshech Chochma. The possuk says in Parshas Emor, "Kol melacha lo sa'asu chukas olam l'dorosaychem." It says it by the issur melacha on Yom Kippur. "Kol melacha lo sa'asu chukas olam l'dorosaychem." So Simcha this is classic says that why is it by the issur melacha on Yom Kippur the Torah says chukas olam l'dorosaychem. But when it comes to the taanis of Yom Kippur, it doesn't say chukas olam l'dorosaychem. The issur melacha is chukas olam l'dorosaychem aber nisht the taanis. Says Simcha the Neriah the Maram is l'yom Kippurim she nischan mikdash also shlaim. She also lo nischan b'yom Kippurim. Kimuvo b'perek kama d'may cotton for you know you crack issur melacha l'vad. The in olam rak melacha ul'dorosaychem ainay b'taanis. Says Simcha the melacha was going to be l'dorosaychem but is the taanis not cuz it was going to be a door where it was going to be melted for the Yidden to go ahead and eat on Yom Kippur. And what was that? That was by the Chanukas Hamikdash. In other words, Rebbe Simcha learned the Gemara Nish Bi Ragashav Agoyim. We have a machlokes between the two Divinsk Gedolim, where the Rogashav on the one hand and Rebbe Simcha on the other hand had to learn this Gemara in Maseches Ma'aser Katan Daf Tes Amud Aleph. Right? Would have been fun to be a fly on the wall in Divinsk circa early 20th century. But either way, the Rogashav learned that really the Yidden had made a mistake, and the Kav Hachomer was a Torah based on the Torah of Kohanim. Narvos, Narvos, they brought a Par Helem Davar Shel Tzibur. And because they brought the Par Helem Davar Shel Tzibur, for that reason they got Kapara. Rebbe Simcha said, "No." Rebbe Simcha said, "They got it right." And even though the Gemara says Kav Hachomer, there's even a remez to it in the pasuk, because it says what they were saying about this Malacha, it doesn't say what they were saying regarding the Yisraelim of the She'ar. The Yidden got it right, and that was why the bas kol had said That was why the bas kol had said that Kohanim is a minor matter, but the bottom line is we're learning the Sugya of Par Helem Davar Shel Tzibur. We have a clear raya, a m'furash Gemara. It's not even negotiable. Yoma Nun Zayin Amud Aleph. Amar Abba Elozar Rebbe Yosi, "I was in Rome, and I saw the Paroches, and there were two damim." So, in terms of that kasha, was there ever a Par Helem Davar Shel Tzibur? It's a Torah. It's a m'furash Gemara, Yoma Daf Nun Zayin Amud Aleph. Then we have this Rogashav who said this blitsedige chiddush that Melech actually brought a Par Helem Davar Shel Tzibur. That's the rest of the story of the Gemara in Maseches Ma'aser Katan Amud Aleph.
