Live From Netanya: The Significance of the Yahrtzeit of the Klausenberger Rebbi on ט' תמוז

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.

It's a great privilege to be here at the Kever of the Klausenburger Rebbe on Tes Tammuz on his Yahrzeit. I think it's very significant that the Yahrzeit of the Klausenburger Rebbe is the ninth day of Tammuz. The Novi tells us that the walls of Yerushalayim were breached on the ninth of Tammuz. However, if you look in the Gemara in Rosh Hashanah, it has the Gemara in Rosh Hashanah says it was on the 17th of Tammuz. As we know, the upcoming fast day, the 17th of Tammuz commemorates the breaching of the walls of Yerushalayim. Tosafos in Rosh Hashanah says the Bavli is referring to Bayis Sheini, while the Pasuk is referring to Bayis Rishon. The Yerushalmi, interestingly, disagrees, but according to the Bavli, the walls of Bayis Rishon were breached on the ninth. Thus, when the Novi Zechariah tells us Tsom ha-Revi'i he la-Bayis Yehudah, la-sasson u-la-simchah u-l'mo'adim tovim, that Tammuz will be transformed into a day
