The Nine Days in our Time (Ep. 289)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

random fact. This is miser money for my wedding. Well, let me tell you, anyone who gave you money at your wedding and knows that the miser is going to be marbitt throughout Israel to tens of thousands of people should definitely consider that a special and you should write us back as all of these people get engaged and uh hopefully they will also be inspired to use their mis money from their wedding for all good things of we are dealing now with the nine days and uh the nine days of course is different by us Ashkanazim than it is for Spartim but we have a full nine days which uh is uh time of tragedy. So let's give it a historical uh perspective. On the shos of Tamuz on the 17th of Tamuz the Romans broke through the walls of Jerusalem. They went through the city slaughtering and killing until they came to the Harbayas. Now when you go to the Kisul today and you're standing there on that platform, you're in midair. the road was down at the bottom and you can see when you go to the Kaiso there are these little holes where you can look down and see where the street level was. Um you can see it also by the southern wall excavations which means there's as much of the western wall underground as there is above ground. So the Hierobias was basically this gigantic fortress and uh it took the Romans a long time to break into this fortress and they finally broke in on the first of Aav and they were slaughtering and desecrating for the next week on the harabas slaughtering kohanim and doing all of terrible things.
