Hello, we find ourselves in a day that is certainly not easy, a day that in a way summarizes the problems faced by the Jewish people throughout history. That's why I would like us to try together to learn the underlying reason for this day. We know, of course, the reasons We know, of course, the reasons for the destruction of the Temple because of the hatred, the gratuitous hatred in the first Temple, because of social problems. In the sense that there were crimes like idolatry, adultery, things that were obviously forbidden, but I'm going to go a little further because, unless Shabbat begins with the Exodus from Egypt, the day when begins with the Exodus from Egypt, the day when we somewhat rejected the gift that God gave us to serve Him, which was Israel, but again, it's not about being Israel that I want to talk about, but I repeat, I want to talk about the source of the problem. So for that, I would like to start with a short story that the Rama brings back. The Rama is a decisor who is found in the Torah, a story between the two. We a story between the two. We all know a very well-known prophet who spoke a lot about destruction, named Jeremiah. And here, Plato encounters Jeremiah weeping near stones that have no inherent importance. He sees this Jew, who is intelligent, and he sees him crying. "Why are you crying?" he asks. "I'm crying crying. "Why are you crying?" he asks. "I'm crying over the destruction of a building, over that stone. Intelligent, but I don't understand you. A man who thinks a little." It's true, it's true, it's true that when there have been mistakes in the past, it hurts, but a man's strength lies in seeing into the future. A man's strength lies in knowing how to look ahead and hoping
