What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay, friends. Good morning. This first shear is smooth mead. But not on the parsha, Amigasa. Well, what safer is Amigasa connected to? If you look at a Tanakh, they they put the five megillahs together. So, you have Shir Hashirim followed by Koheles followed by Eicha. And that's what appears in the Jewish Tanakh. And of course, it's absolutely wrong. That's not the order of Tanakh. Really, the printers don't decide the order of Tanakh. No, printers are very powerful. They're very They're so powerful, they can even argue on the Torah, and they do. Not that they're authorized to, but they do it anyway. But that's not the order of Tanakh. If you look in Bava Basra, you doubt on a base sidron shall suvim, Ruth, Tehillim, Iyov, Mishlei, Koheles, Shir Hashirim, Kinnos, Eicha is attached to Shir Hashirim. Now, I understand the connection between Mishlei, Koheles, Shir Hashirim. They're all written by But what's the connection between Shir Hashirim and Eicha? Shir Eicha [clears throat] was written by Yirmiyahu Hanavi. Eicha was written by Yirmiyahu Hanavi. Shir Hashirim was written by Actually, the opening Rashi of Eicha says, "Yirmiyahu kasav Sefer Kinnos." Yirmiyahu wrote Kinnos. Says the Sifsei Chakhamim, "No kidding, Yirmiyahu wrote Kinnos." He says, "Ani hagaiver ani." "Bishai vedavrosa." "Ani hagaiver" is gematria of He says he wrote it. Sifsei Chachamim says, "Well, maybe he only wrote from perek gimmel and on." So, therefore, Rashi has to say in the beginning of Eicha that Yirmiyahu wrote the whole thing. So, Yirmiyahu wrote Eicha. wrote Shir Hashirim. What is the connection between these sefarim? And the answer is the connection is very powerful.
