Okay, welcome everyone to our to the Khabura. Not a Khabura, the Khabura. Where uh usually learn Torah and Davara, but we're going to use tonight Torah and Davara as a springboard to talk about Pesach Sheni. And of course, Reb Meir Baal Haness Zechuso Yagen Aleinu. In Torah and Davara in perek aleph the Torah and Davara says that describing one of the middos of Hakadosh Baruch Hu is L'she'eiris Nachalaso. Baruch Hu is L'she'eiris Nachalaso. L'she'eiris Nachalaso. That's Mi K'El Kamochah nosei avon v'over al pesha L'she'eiris Nachalaso. It's middah number four. What is the middah of L'she'eiris Nachalaso? The Ramak explains L'she'eiris Nachalaso means Hashem considers us she'er basar mamash. He considers us like a blood relative. What are the ramifications of Hashem considering us a blood relative? That when we're in pain, Hashem experiences when we're in pain, Hashem experiences pain. Hashem is pained when we're in pain. When when something hurts us, it hurts Hashem. He's literally part of our flesh. That's the middah. And therefore the Torah and Davara explains that we should feel this way about other Jews. We should feel they're our brothers, they're part of us, they're they're our flesh. And Hashem sometimes says, "How could I hurt them? How could I punish them? They're she'er basar with me." Now, Reb Meir has a similar teaching. Reb Reb Meir has a similar teaching. Reb Meir's teaching of course is that no matter what the situation is, the Jewish people are always considered the beloved children of Hashem. It's well known Reb Meir teaches in the Gemara in Kiddushin daf lamed vav, Reb Meir says, "Bein kach u'vehein kach nikra'im banim." We're always considered the beloved children of Hashem. So, in the in the sefer we point out it's on page 24 in footnote six that Reb Meir then is L'shitoso. Think about it. The Torah and Davara says,
