explanation that ties into this week's Parsha foreign what is the significance of these 147 years we know how many colors are in the in Sai 49 and in kisave 98 a total of 147. so they're a total of 147 curses that correspond to the years of yaakov actually just the opposite yaakov's 147 years protect us from the 147 colors of the what we're sharing now is uh for number 25 on your sheets um so yaakov lived 147 years now let's get another interesting point straight we mentioned that there's by the way according to some today is the yard side of the navi zacharya when the Novi zacharya said the fast of the tenth month so we're we tend to think that we first so today the 10th day of the 10th month of sarbataves but that's the opinion Rabbi Akiva says no that doesn't make any sense because it's not going in order the faster the fourth is the fast of the fifth is Tish above the faster the seventh is the faster the tenth is the beginning of the process that's when they surrounded the walls says in his opinion the fast of tables is something that happened after everything what's that that's the news the base of English was destroyed on Tish above AV hello on the fifth day of Taves in the golus they heard word that the way something like this was destroyed this is the day that the report came to the Galas
