"The root of all good and the salvation and redemption of the people of Israel, is also found these days" (Photo: ShutterStock)

Today we fast the 17th of Tammuz fast that begins the period of the "Three Weeks" in which we mark the destruction of the Temple. The Admor Rabbi Josiah Pinto explained in his lesson the power of these days and the way we should go.

And so Rabbi Pinto said in his lesson:

Today we have begun the three weeks, twenty-one days between the Egyptians which on the one hand are hard days, and in the words of our holy rabbis are the lowest days of the year.

But the root of all good and salvation and redemption of the people of Israel, is found even today.

And about them our holy rabbis said "but" that it is twenty-one, are the days of between the Egyptians good and Israel, where lies the good of the people of Israel.

And whoever knows how to go through these days in holiness and exaltation, to also take advantage of these kind of days to look deeply into the dark places in the soul, benefits Israel.

And our rabbis have already said, "All her persecutors have attained

. " And

in the building of a house in the third temple soon in our day according to the words of our holy

rabbis

. Says, said Rabbi Yehuda said Rabbi May Dakhtiv (Psalms Po, 17) made me a sign for good and they will see haters and their desolation, David said before Gd the Lord of the world forgives me for the same sin (Rashi. Dovat Sheva) told him to forgive you. Told him (David) made a sign with me in my life, told him (God) in your life I do not inform, in the life of your son Solomon I inform.

When Shlomo built the Temple, he asked to put an ark in the Holy of Holies, gates were glued to each other (Rashi. Gates of the Holy of Holies). The world and the king of glory will come ", they furnished Tariya to the swallow (chased after him to swallow because they thought he said yes to himself), said" Who is the king of glory ". He is the King of Glory, the Lord of Hosts is the King of Glory

. All the people and all of Israel to whom God forgave for the same sin.

And here these things need understanding, King Solomon stands in the most uplifting moment of his life and of the great moments of the people of Israel from being a people, finished building the Temple, something that all the people of Israel from being a people in the land of Egypt expected and will begin this great moment.

In the uplifting moment of the dedication of the house, everyone stands and Solomon is disgraced, unable to bring the Ark of the Covenant into the Holy of Holies.

Why did Gd do this? What does this mean to us, what

does this teach us to teach for generations, since in our holy Torah there are no practical stories, the Torah is for generations

King of the Gates?

And this can be clarified on the basis of the "good face" (memorial stones for Rosh Hashana letter Se, D.H. and in things) if a person does everything perfectly, pride can enter his heart.

And we will clarify things, if King David also would buy the land of the Temple, also collect the silver and gold, also collect all the things for the house of God and also would build, there was a defect that his thing he did, he created, he built.

Therefore Gd divided things, King David built the holy thought to build the house of God which is the greatest virtue, bought the land and gathered the silver and gold. King Solomon his son.

And it is a good thought that Gd attaches to deed, a thought of David and the act of building Solomon together, we will be pure and clean and loved for heaven's sake.

"Therefore the soul of the Temple which is the Holy of Holies, could not be educated in the dedication of the Temple only by all of the mention of King David, who built and created the first thought and deed of the Temple."

And according to these sacred things that need the construction of two things together in order to reach the stage of soul and body, the matter of building the third temple will be understood.

Here it is quoted in Rashi and Tosafot (Sukkah Ma.) In the name of the Midrash regarding the third temple "The temple of the future that we encrypt is built and perfected, it will discover and come from heaven which is said (Exodus 15:17)"

And it is difficult to prepare for the candle, because this contradicts the words of Maimonides, who ruled (Halachot Melachim, Chapter 11, Halacha A):

It means from the words of Maimonides that the King of the Messiah will build the Temple.

And so it is stated in the Gemara (Sukkah Nev :) Deaf people - artists.

Messiahs, both deaf to the building of the Temple.

If so it means that the temple will be built and not descended from heaven.

But it will be understood, the temple will be built by the Messianic King.

But the soul of the Temple, we build and create it every day, by the aspiration and longing for the building of the Temple.

And this is what they say "building Jerusalem", every day we build Jerusalem by our actions.

And after the temple is built by Messiah, the soul of the temple, which was built for all the exiles by our aspirations and desires, will descend from heaven.

And it is as the first house that Solomon built the house, but the Shechinah did not come down except by the power of King David who was the soul.

So in "But Good for Israel" in these twenty-one days, we must prepare and build with all our might the soul of the Third Temple that will soon be built in our day.

And whoever gets to be a part of the building of the soul, gets to see the building of the Temple and be a part of the builder of Jerusalem.

And this is what we must aim for these days most of all the days of the year, and revive the soul of the Third Temple.
