&lt;b&gt;סנהדרין צח:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
דרש רבי שמלאי מאי דכתיב הוי המתאוים את יום ה&#39; למה זה לכם יום ה&#39; הוא חשך ולא אור משל לתרנגול ועטלף שהיו מצפין לאור א&quot;ל תרנגול לעטלף אני מצפה לאורה שאורה שלי היא ואתה למה לך אורה והיינו דא&quot;ל ההוא מינא לרבי אבהו אימתי אתי משיח א&quot;ל לכי חפי להו חשוכה להנהו אינשי א&quot;ל מילט קא לייטת לי א&quot;ל קרא כתיב כי הנה החשך יכסה ארץ וערפל לאומים ועליך יזרח ה&#39; וכבודו עליך יראה&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;אפיקי ים, שם:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;דרש ר&#39; שמלאי וכו&#39; משל לתרנגול ועטלף&lt;/b&gt; - העניין כי תרנגול אינו יכול לראות כי אם ביום, ועטלף להיפוך ראייתו רק בלילה, והם סוד ממשלת ישראל ואומות העולם יעקב ועשו, שאלו ממשלתם בלילה בגלותא כל זמן שסט&quot;א נמצא בעולם שהם סוד החושך והלילה ערלה המקפת הברית, וישראל ממשלתם ביום הבוקר אור כשיתגלה אור בפומא דאמה שיסור הערלה מן הברית, ועטל&quot;ף הוא ק&quot;ץ כל בשר שהוא הערלה בסיומא דגופא, הערלה דאחשיך אפי, קץ שם לחשך וכו&#39; כמ&quot;ש בזוהר פ&#39; נח תרין קיצין אינון חד לימינא וחד לשמאלא קץ לימינא דכתיב לקן הימין וקץ לשמאלא דכתיב קץ שם לחושך וכו&#39;, והיינו שקץ דימינא הוא קץ דמשיחא בסוף יום ו&#39; היסוד בעטרת סיומא דגופא ששם האות חסד מתגלה, וקץ דשמאלא הערלה שהוא הענן המחשיך האור, ולכן הוא חסר א&#39; מק&quot;ץ שהוא חשך בגריעו כמ&quot;ש שם בפרשת בראשית ואשתאר בגריעו ההוא לילה וכו&#39;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
ותרנגו&quot;ל הוא ששו&quot;ן וגיל&quot;ה ושאבתם מים בששון, והוא בדרגא דעט&quot;&#39; היסוד ששון זו מילה וכו&#39;, והוא בסוד יצחק ק&quot;ץ ח&quot;י הצחוק והשמחה והוא בסטרא דדינה שיתבסמו הדינים ע&quot;י החסד, והוא התרנגול הידוע והוא בבוקר כד חיוורא כרבלתא דתרנגולא וכו&#39;, והוא מצפה לאור כמ&quot;ש הנותן לשכוי בינה להבחין וכו&#39; שאת יתבסם.&amp;nbsp; וז&quot;ש אני מצפה לאורה שאורה שלי שהוא כמ&quot;ש והיה לעת ערב יהי&#39; אור, והבן דברים אלו מאד מאד&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;sfuitext&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;A post in honor of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial hebrew&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Lag BaOmer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I have &lt;a href=&quot;http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.co.il/2008/03/happy-is-he-who-waits.html&quot;&gt;previously posited&lt;/a&gt; the following regarding the prophecy at the end of Daniel 12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;The 1290 days and 1335 days are years&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;The starting period for the 1290 days is 18 years before the destruction of the First Beit haMikdash, making the end of the 1290 days, the giving of the Desolate Abomination, as the year 4447, and the 1335 days would end a few years from now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;But let us look at these numbers.&amp;nbsp; I checked for their greatest common denominator. It is 15.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;(1290 + 1335) / 15 = 175&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;1290 / 15 = 86&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;1335 / 15 = 89&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;The number 175 shows up in Breishit as the age of Avraham Avinu when he passed away. (Breishit 25:7)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;The number 86 shows up in Breishit as the age of Avraham Avinu when Yishmael was born. (Breishit 16:16)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;When Avraham Avinu was 86, Yishmael came in to this world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;.sfuitext&amp;quot;; font-size: 17pt;&quot;&gt;When Avraham Avinu passed away, we see Breishit 25:9&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: &amp;quot;.sf ui text&amp;quot;; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2008/02/yovel-count-of-rebbi-yehudah.html?m=1&quot;&gt;http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2008/02/yovel-count-of-rebbi-yehudah.html?m=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I wrote that following this year&#39;s Yovel would seem an ideal time to resume counting of the Yovel cycle by the Sanhedrin. &amp;nbsp;The wording I wrote would seem to imply that I meant for the Halacha to immediately return to Chachamim and have 5776 be year 50 and 5777 be year number 1, but I guess it indeed would be more consistent with the analysis written to say that they should begin counting this year.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
And then a few days ago I found this:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://beitsanhedrin.co.il/היובל-חוזר-שנת-תשעו-תתחיל-ספירת-חמישי/&quot;&gt;http://beitsanhedrin.co.il/היובל-חוזר-שנת-תשעו-תתחיל-ספירת-חמישי/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The announcement there is from eleven months ago, and yesterday I received confirmation that year number one was indeed counted on Tzom Gedaliah.&lt;/div&gt;

The Yerushalmi gives a few sources for the number four, the four cups from Sar HaMashkim&#39;s dream, the four languages of redemption in parshat VaEra, the four cups of tanchumin, and the four cups of puranut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there are the Four Redemptions as explained in the Zohar Raya Mehemna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there is another four, and it was so obvious, but it only occurred to me last year: the Four Fasts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In chronological order of their occurrence:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asarah b&#39;Tevet - The siege begins, Jerusalem is cut off from the rest of the land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shiva Asar b&#39;Tamuz - The walls are broken, we lost control even of Jerusalem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tisha b&#39;Av - We lost the Temple&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tzom Gedaliah - We lose any vestige of governance, even the puppet government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those are the four defects of the Galut that must be repaired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First we must regain control of the land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then we must regain Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then we must regain the Temple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then we must perfect the kingship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are the cups of tanchumin, yet the nations mourn, these are the cups of puranut.</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2012/12/four.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-2876668114417227144</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-07-31T07:45:27.404+03:00</atom:updated><title>The 1540 Mirror</title><description>Please excuse me for not providing hyperlinks. &amp;nbsp;I am not typing this on a computer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We learned in Zohar Chadash on Vayeshev that the Sinat Chinam at the end of the Second Temple period triggered the ancient hatred of Esav, and brought a punishment of 22 years for the years that Yosef couldn&#39;t see his father Yaakov, for each of the 10 tribes, multiplied by 7 as the verses say in parshat B&#39;Chukotai, seven for your sins. The result is 1540 years. &amp;nbsp;The hatred of Esav was aroused in 3826, ending in 5366.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that there is a mirror that occurs at each ends. &amp;nbsp;The time from 3826 backwards to the building of the Temple in 3409 is 417 years. &amp;nbsp;Adding 417 years to 5366 gives us 5783.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven years after the building of the Second a temple commenced in 3409 was the first year for the renewed Yovel cycle. &amp;nbsp;Seven years prior to 5783 would be 5776.</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-1540-mirror.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-6400738367856712169</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-03T06:21:20.650+02:00</atom:updated><title>Yaakov, Yosef, Eretz Yisrael</title><description>Yaakov Avinu lived for 147 years. &amp;nbsp;Of these years, he lived for 20 years in Padan Aram with Lavan, and 17 years in Egypt. &amp;nbsp;Total time in Eretz Yisrael, 110 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yosef lived for 110 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yosef was born in Padan Aram, and came to Eretz Yisrael when he was 6. &amp;nbsp;He was sold to the Yishmaelim at the age of 17, never to live in Eretz Yisrael again, only visiting for Yaakov Avinu&#39;s burial. &amp;nbsp;Total time he lived in Eretz Yisrael: 11 years, one tenth of his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yaakov&#39;s time in Eretz Yisrael, aka Tzion, is equal to the lifetime of Yosef, whose name is equal in gematria to Tzion. &amp;nbsp;But even so, Yosef still needed actual time in Tzion of one tenth of his life.</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2012/01/yaakov-yosef-eretz-yisrael.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-1226264134686160529</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Nov 2011 06:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-09T08:43:51.167+02:00</atom:updated><title>&amp;quot;Civil Disobedience&amp;quot; in 2011</title><description>Avraham was born in 1948, and per our tradition, the Tower of Bavel was built in 1996.

The Zohar refers to where the shadow was when the Temple was destroyed.  It is interesting to note that the middle of the fourth millennium is at almost the precise halfway point between the two destructions, 3175 and 3829.  Requires further pondering.

&lt;br /&gt;
The GR&quot;A states that using the knowledge that the Sixth Day progresses along the lines of the original Sixth Day, one can come to the conclusion as to when the Final Redemption will occur, if we are not worthy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet the Zohar, and the GR&quot;A&#39;s commentary thereof, seem to show that there is reason to believe that the GR&quot;A said that the End of Exile would be at six and a half hours in to the Sixth Day, which is in the coming months. &amp;nbsp;How can we resolve such an obvious contradiction? &amp;nbsp;If one must analyze the sixth day to determine an exact year, not to mention the accompanying oath, why would it be so obvious elsewhere?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe the answer is that there are two matters that come together, &lt;a href=&quot;http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2009/02/shaar-maamrei-rashbi-vaera.html&quot;&gt;as mentioned&lt;/a&gt; by the Ariza&quot;l. &amp;nbsp;The end of the Galut starts at a certain point, the physical exile must be eliminated, but from the end of exile to the end of foreign influence is 11 years.</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2011/06/end-of-galut-is-not-start-of-geulah.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-8320701395535624957</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 May 2011 17:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-05-18T21:28:08.744+03:00</atom:updated><title>Make us Happy Like the Days You Afflicted Us</title><description>In Tehillim 90:15 we have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;שמחנו כימות עניתנו שנות ראינו רעה&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Make us happy like the days that You have afflicted us, the years we saw evil.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The Ramchal wrote in Maamar haGeulah that this cannot be a one to one equation, for there aren&#39;t enough years left before the seventh millennium for us to enjoy in a state of Geulah as we have had suffering in Galut.  Therefore, what it means is that the supernal light that we could have received during the years of Galut will be given to us when the redemption arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to propose the following.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Nesira is complete, Malchut is built from a single point in to a full partzuf by Z&quot;A.  The years in which Malchut is a full partzuf of ten sefirot count as ten times the amount as when Malchut is but a single sefirah. &amp;nbsp;Using this line of thought, we see that Malchut becomes a full partzuf towards the beginning of the eighth hour of the sixth day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;The approximation works as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(6001-yearX) * 10 = 70 years of Galut Bavel + (yearX - 3830)</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2011/05/in-tehillim-9015-we-have-following-make.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-8441054515337936318</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 May 2011 20:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-05-14T23:15:18.748+03:00</atom:updated><title>You Shall Give Redemption to the Land</title><description>This week&#39;s parsha tells us that we should give redemption to the land.

Land is a metaphor for the Shechina.  If we &quot;lose&quot; the Shechina, then we must go out of our way to &quot;regain&quot; it.  This is teshuva.  To get this done earlier, we must &quot;pay&quot; more, as the Yovel is far away. But as we get closer to the Yovel, we need not pay as much.

But if even this we do not &quot;pay&quot;, then the Geulah comes as a result of the Yovel itself.  Geulah in its time.&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2011/05/you-shall-give-redemption-to-land.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-1994421664004661934</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Apr 2011 05:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-04-15T08:58:12.684+03:00</atom:updated><title>Geulah Hints from the Seder</title><description>The Mishnah in Pesachim chapter 2 reads as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
ב,ה &amp;nbsp;אלו דברים שאדם יוצא בהן ידי חובתו בפסח--בחיטים, ובשעורים, ובכוסמין ובשיבולת שועל, ובשיפון, ובדמאי, ובמעשר ראשון שניטלה תרומתו, ובמעשר שני והקדש שנפדו, והכוהנים בחלה ובתרומה. &amp;nbsp;אבל לא בטבל, ולא במעשר ראשון שלא ניטלה תרומתו, ולא במעשר שני והקדש שלא נפדו. &amp;nbsp;חלות תודה ורקיקי נזיר--עשאן לעצמו, אין יוצא בהן; למכור בשוק, יוצא בהן.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;ב,ו &amp;nbsp;ואלו ירקות שאדם יוצא בהן ידי חובתו בפסח--בחזרת, ובעולשין, ובתמכה, ובחרחבינה, ובמרור. &amp;nbsp;יוצאין בהן, בין לחים בין יבשים; אבל לא כבושין, ולא שלוקים, ולא מבושלים. &amp;nbsp;וכולם מצטרפין בכזית. &amp;nbsp;ויוצאין בקלח שלהן, ובדמאי, ובמעשר ראשון שניטלה תרומתו, ובמעשר שני והקדש שנפדו.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: ltr;&quot;&gt;
This means that we have 5 types of grain to use for matzah, and 5 types of vegetables to use for maror. &amp;nbsp;This means that we can all theoretically perform the Torah commanded food mitzvot relating to the Seder in any of 25 different combinations, even today. &amp;nbsp;The current Korech sandwich has 25 possible combinations.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
And what about the Korban Pesach? &amp;nbsp;Shemot 12:5&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
שֶׂה תָמִים זָכָר בֶּן-שָׁנָה, יִהְיֶה לָכֶם; מִן-הַכְּבָשִׂים וּמִן-הָעִזִּים, תִּקָּחוּ.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
In the near future when we will begin to bring the Korban Pesach, we will have the option of two either lambs or goats. &amp;nbsp;Now we are up to 50 possibilities, a number representing Geulah, which comes from Binah, the 50 gates of Binah. &amp;nbsp;The original Korech symbolizes Geulah.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
In the Rambam&#39;s Hilchot Korban Pesach chapter 8, we see the following:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
ח,ב &amp;nbsp;[ג] מצוה מן המובחר לאכול בשר הפסח, אכילת שובע; לפיכך אם הקריב שלמי חגיגה בארבעה עשר--אוכל מהן תחילה, ואחר כך אוכל בשר הפסח כדי לשבוע ממנו. &amp;nbsp;ואם לא אכל אלא כזית, יצא ידי חובתו.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
From Hilchot Hagiga chapter 1&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
א,ג &amp;nbsp;החגיגה האמורה בתורה--הוא שיקריב שלמים ביום טוב הראשון של חג, כשיבוא להיראות; והדבר ידוע שאין השלמים באים אלא מן הבהמה. &amp;nbsp;ושתי מצוות אלו, שהן הראייה והחגיגה--אין הנשים חייבות בהן.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: ltr;&quot;&gt;
We see in Vayikra chapter 3 that the Shlamim offering comes from cattle, sheep, or goats, male or female.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: ltr;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: ltr;&quot;&gt;
Finally, we see this in Hilchot Korban Pesach chapter 10:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;direction: rtl;&quot;&gt;
י,י &amp;nbsp;אימתיי מביאין עימו חגיגה זו, בזמן שהוא בא בחול ובטהרה ובמועט. &amp;nbsp;אבל אם חל יום ארבעה עשר להיות בשבת, או שבא הפסח בטומאה, או שהיו הפסחים מרובים--אין מביאין עימו חגיגה, ואין מקריבין אלא הפסחים בלבד.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: ltr;&quot;&gt;
Therefore we can see that our 50 permutations of Matzah and Maror come with another 7 possibilities regarding Hagiga: 3 species which can be either male or female, or none at all. &amp;nbsp;This gives us a grand total of 350 ways to have a seder. &amp;nbsp;It seems to me that the 7 Hagiga permutations hint at the lower Seven Sefirot, where a lack of Hagiga hints at Malchut.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: ltr;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This is styled on the Mechilta. &amp;nbsp;I am not going to translate.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; dir=&quot;RTL&quot; style=&quot;direction: rtl; text-align: right; unicode-bidi: embed;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;ויקרא יב:א. וַיְדַבֵּר ה&#39; אֶל-מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: auto;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
אל משה – דווקא אל משה, כי הסוד נקרא אורייתא דמשה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;ב. דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר, אִשָּׁה כִּי תַזְרִיעַ וְיָלְדָה זָכָר, וְטָמְאָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים, כִּימֵי נִדַּת דְּו‍ֹתָהּ תִּטְמָא.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
אל בני ישראל – ולא לאומות העולם, מכאן אסמכתא למה שאמרו בכתובות קי&quot;א בעניין השבועות שלא יגלו את הקץ.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
זכר – לרמז על ו&#39; קצוות, שהן כנגד שיתא אלפי שנין שהן הארבעים יום המוזכרים כאן.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
וטמאה שבעת ימים – כל טומאה צריכה התטהרות. &amp;nbsp;מה שבעת ימי טמאה, יש שבעת ימי התטהרות בשיתא אלפי שנין מתוך הארבעים יום, שזה אלף וחמשים שנה. &amp;nbsp;כנגד הטומאה, יעמדו שלשת בתי מקדש בהר הבית לתיקון.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
כימי נדת דותה תטמא – מה טומאה כאן מביאה התרחקות, התטהרות כאן מביאה התקרבות לשכינה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;ג. וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי יִמּוֹל בְּשַׂר עָרְלָתוֹ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
וביום השמיני – מרמז על עטרת היסוד שמתחילה להתגלות לקראת סוף ימי טהרה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;ד וּשְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם וּשְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים, תֵּשֵׁב בִּדְמֵי טָהֳרָה; בְּכָל-קֹדֶשׁ לֹא-תִגָּע, וְאֶל-הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לֹא תָבֹא, עַד-מְלֹאת, יְמֵי טָהֳרָהּ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
ושלשים יום ושלשת ימים – כאן נגזר ימי גלותינו ממקום המקדש.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
תשב – כאן שבועה על ישראל שלא ימרדו באומות העולם.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
בדמי טהרה – שאין צורך בתיקון של התטהרות במקדש.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
בכל קדש לא תגע – כאן שבועה לאומות העולם שלא ישתעבדו בהן בישראל יותר מדאי, כלומר אמר להם לא ליגע בעם קדשו.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
ואל המקדש לא תבא – מכאן שעל ישראל לא לעלות בחומה להר הבית.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
עד מלאת ימי טהרה – מה לעיל אצל רבקה וימלאו ימיה ללדת ותלד מיד, אף כאן, עד מלאת ימי טהרה, שיבואו ישראל לבנות מקדש מיד בתום ימי טהרה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I thought I&#39;d chime in here in honor of my brother&#39;s yartzheit.  Work doesn&#39;t provide me with time to post here so often.

I believe that the unrest surrounding Israel will Be finished before 5772, around August.  But the changes will continue, much like the American Civil War did not bring complete freedom to African Americans.

Oil is becoming less reliable, nuclear power is obviously going out of style, and a huge natural gas find will reach production in the coming years.  Reminds me of Isaiah 60, which mentions the darkness that is approaching followed by economic prosperity for Israel.

Sooner or later Israel will be dragged in to a conflict with Gaza, until leadership arises which realizes the necessity of returned Jewish settlement.  The conflicts generally increase in severity each round.  Imagine the isolation and condemnation of Oferet Yetzuka and the flotilla when Israel acts with more force.  We will see if we can hear the voice of Yitzhak telling us to flee Esav.&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2011/03/few-thoughts-on-current-events.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-9215602121682126541</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-01T21:26:54.682+02:00</atom:updated><title>Verses 5771 and 5772</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;rtl&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
5771 וירא ה&#39; וינאץ, מכעס בניו ובנתיו&lt;br /&gt;
5772 ויאמר אסתירה פני מהם, אראה מה אחריתם&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
תרגום אונקלוס ל5772&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ואמר אסליק שכינתי מנהון, גלי קדמי מא יהי בסופהון. &amp;nbsp;ארי דרא דאשני אנון, בניא דלית בהון הימנו
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
נתפלל שבשנה זאת נקיים את רצונו, ולעולם לא נכעיסנו.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2010/09/verses-5771-and-5772.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026267186873715335.post-7673315068410140442</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-29T08:35:25.320+03:00</atom:updated><title>Ki Tavo&amp;#39;s Haftarah</title><description>The first verse of Ki Tavo&#39;s Haftarah is brought by the Ramchal in Maamar haGeulah as being a verse in the Tanach which mentions both the Pekidah and the Zechirah.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The first word, קומי, is directed at the Shechinah, which must arise from the dust of exile at the time of Pekidah. Why?  Because soon the Shechinah will receive its light directly from Z&quot;A, when the Nesirah is complete, and the Zechirah arrives.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But in the process, the darkness first will cover the world.  The verse says the darkness will cover the nations.  The implication being that Zion is our refuge.&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://keitzmeguleh.blogspot.com/2010/08/ki-tavo-haftarah.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (גילוי)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
