Revealing 5 Astounding Reasons We Read Parshas Pinchas in the 3 Weeks

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.

orchestrated that we should read about the yomim tovim in the beginning of the three weeks, Baruch Hashem Kodesh, because says the Ahav Yisrael, the 21 days from Shivah Asar b'Tammuz until Tisha B'Av are the shoresh, the makor kedusha for all the yomim tovim, because there are 21 days of Yom Tov during the year. Shabbos, one, Rosh Chodesh, two. The seven days of Pesach is nine. Shavuos, 10. Two days of Rosh Hashanah, 12. Yom Kippur, 13. Eight days of Sukkos, 21. The siman is ach tov l'Yisrael. And the source of kedusha of these 21 days of Yom Tov are the 21 days of the Bein Hametzarim. This takes on new meaning in light of what we learned in the past that the Chida brings that originally these yomim tovim were scattered over Tammuz of and Elul, and they were then dispersed because of the cheit ha'egel. But because as it made their 21 days of Yom Tov during the year, and they are rooted in the 21 days of the Bein Hametzarim. The truth is, says the Ahav Yisrael, the 21 days of the Bein Hametzarim are really yomim tovim gedolim, but b'avona sinas chinam harabim, we're not worthy of it, and its goodness is still hid within it. From here we mean we will be zoycha to see the great revelation of Yom Tov of these 21 days, and then we will understand the tremendous kedusha and simcha of the 21 days of the bein hametzarim. And at the root of all of them is Tisha B'Av will be a moyed yoser godol. My friend, Reb Refael Ancel once shared with me from the Rizhiner Rebbe that if you look in the end of Pinchas by the ohr layomem toyvim, we have the parsha of Shabbos, we have Rosh Chodesh,
