ל ‘עשת ירשת‘‘ח

חנ תשרפ

א ‘ןושח שדוח שאר

than these” – why not? הזה תלאש המכחמ אל יכ

because this המכח, these תוראה and heights that

you experienced, הזה תלאש you borrowed them.

Throughout our lives, and during different times

of the Jewish calendar, the ע״שבר lends us as a

gift; certain inspirations and loftiness – allowing

us to artificially achieve certain levels of תוינחור.

The purpose of this loan is to give us a glimpse of

the growth possibilities that lie latent within us.

And when the ע״שבר reclaims His gift, as is often

felt at the close of י ט״ו ,we have what to aspire to

obtain.

Therefore, the deflation felt with the onset of this

period of the year is not a cause for sadness.

Rather, it is an opportunity to recall the emotions

of םיארונ םימי and take encouragement. It is a

chance to utilize the distraction free time that

these long winter month provide, and invest the

effort and diligence to actually truly acquire and

internalize those תושגה that we achieved as a gift

during Yom Tov.

May we all be הכוז to a fulfilling and healthy

winter!

(Based on a shiur of Rav Chaim Kaufman zatzal)

Rabbi Shmuel Ochs

On תוכוס דעומה לוח תבש, we read in תלהק

the timeless words of ךלמה המלש:

“ םיבוט ויה םינושארה םימיהש היה המ רמאת לא

ע תלאש המכחמ אל יכ הלאמהז ל“

Literally translated, המלש is cautioning us

not to say that previous days were better than

these, since you are not questioning why this

is so from a place a wisdom.

Having just completed the תוינחור packed,

and incredibly inspiring days of the םימי

םיארונ, where we experienced the

tremendous תוררועתה and תברק םיקולא

generated by this special time, it is difficult

to understand the words of the הליגמ. With

ןושח upon us, and the concurrent long and

dark winter season ahead, we often feel

deflated and sapped of the tremendous high

that the ט״וי season so recently ended

engendered. We can’t seem to capture that

same תובהלתה. Why would we not look back

nostalgically at the passionate days of םימי

םיארונ?

Rav Shlomo Karliner invites us towards a

more nuanced understanding of the קוספ:

“Don’t say that previous days were better
