7:14 that the created being wants the revelation of the Creator's Kingship That is the meaning, and that is the true purpose And Hashem, blessed be He, brings forth souls each time and another generation and another generation, and all the time passes and once again another person is born, and once again he passes away and once again another is born, and once again passes away, and so on, and so on, and so on And so thousands and myriads without measure keep cycling on of souls and bodies that cycle through from the day the Temple was destroyed until that one will be born And then again one is born, and then once more and once more one departs, and once more until — we are waiting for that one who will come and be a fighter before Hashem, blessed be He

8:10 that Hashem, blessed be He, will look and gaze from Heaven and say, 'I have found David My servant' that Hashem, blessed be He, will look and say: I have found this heart that thinks of Me I have found the eyes that long for Me I have found the mind that thinks of Me I have found the will that wants Me And then Hashem, blessed be He, will redeem Israel I have already explained a number of times that Hashem, blessed be He, is humble and merciful, full of compassion and when they do not ask for Him, when they do not search for Him and do not want Him to reign — He is humble so He does not seek to reign And if we understand that the root of everything that passes over us and all the tribulations and all the pain

9:03 and all the sorrow and all the suffering and all the fear there is in the world all of it is drawn from the destruction of the Temple And on every day that passes there is a sparkle of Tishah B'Av in all parts of the year, at the hour of midnight at this time when there is a union between Yaakov and Leah that happens in Heaven; at the time of the rising of Rachel that is specifically at the time of sunrise it is through the study of Torah at night which is important beyond measure but especially through saying Tikkun Chatzos that one says Tikkun Chatzos and unites for one moment at this time asking for the House of Hashem to ask for the revelation of Hashem's Kingship Hashem, blessed be He, does not need a house of gold

9:59 nor of precious stones, for all the gold and all the silver all the gold is 'Mine, says Hashem' — it is Hashem's, blessed be He And all that people will do, all that they will think all of it is before Him, may He be blessed Hashem, blessed be He, wants our hearts 'The Merciful One desires the heart' Hashem, blessed be He, wants our will Hashem, blessed be He, wants our hope He wants us to ask for His House that you weep over the Temple and you think and understand what was destroyed what we are fasting over We are fasting over the departure of the vessels over all the good traits we had that became spoiled over all the holiness and the Torah and mitzvos that we lost and in their place we went after sins, after transgressions

10:50 over everything — instead of Hashem's will and the revelation of His Kingship we went by our own will and the revelation of our own kingship all the things we did, the opposite of Hashem One who truly fears Hashem is one who, in all that will pass over him and in all that he will do in this world and in all his going about in this world will have a true, true purpose to crown the Creator, blessed be He, as King, to raise his eyes to Heaven and to want and to love and to yearn and to long for his Creator And for this he will study His Torah for this he will busy himself with His mitzvos and for this he fasts, both on Yom Kippur and on Tishah B'Av, a Rabbinic fast and a Torah fast on Yom Kippur

11:37 Today, which is precisely this time Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz writes that tomorrow after the Shacharis prayer, when we say the Kinos and pray on the ground this is the time, this moment, when one can ask of Hashem And as I said, one must understand that each one of us everyone has a point of pain, a point of sorrow every one in the world, every created being in the world has a point of pain and sorrow whether of death, whether of loss, whether of sorrow and illnesses of suffering, of poverty, of hardships, of fears of worries, of griefs, all kinds, in the whole entire world the whole root of this is drawn from above from the destruction of the Temple And this very day, Tishah B'Av is the day from which everything is drawn And on this day, when we pray for the Shechinah in truth

12:52 and ask, as I explained we sweeten all the roots of the judgments And just the very knowledge — that you will understand this and remember what I said you yourselves will sweeten all kinds of judgments in the world all kinds of bounty will come and this is the main abundance in the world — everything, all kinds of good And one must say to Hashem that we feel the pain of the Shechinah feel the pain of the exile, feel the pain of the falsehood of the world and want Him, may He be blessed, want Him to be revealed to us want Him to reign over us want His Kingship And the whole world goes on and sees that they are going from bad to worse and sees that there is no, there is no king and the whole world does not see His Kingship

13:45 The Temple — to ask for it is to understand: I am asking for the revelation of our King we want to see His revelation His Kingship, so that we will have no more sorrow so that we will not suffer any more we want the revelation of His Kingship want to hear from Him want to see the resurrection of the dead When a person loses a relative of his he truly looks forward to the resurrection of the dead much more than someone else because he understands that he departed from him but that there will be the resurrection of the dead he truly longs and yearns to see him The meaning of the redemption and the Temple these are tangible and real things that are the very, very closest to us, to the Jewish people And whoever is not connected and does not think about this

14:44 or he fasts and does not put his mind to it or it is not his concern and keeps it as 'a commandment of men learned by rote' he is the furthest from the root of holiness and fear of Hashem True fear of Hashem is to understand that we are asking for redemption we are asking, in other words, for salvation asking for rescue, asking 'He will swallow up death forever' 'and Hashem G-d will wipe away tears from every face' asking for the revelation of Hashem asking: enough already of darkness and of death and of exile and of the length of the exile, and of the tribulations and the suffering and the troubles We need to understand: that is the Temple that the Temple would be standing and we would improve our deeds the closeness to Hashem, blessed be He, would be the greatest

15:35 the revelation of His Kingship the keeping of the mitzvos, the holy Torah, the cleaving 'For this our heart was faint, for these our eyes grew dim' 'for Mount Zion, which lies desolate; foxes prowl over it' The House of Hashem, the holiest and most exalted place which connected us and brought us close to the root, to Heaven Look and see what is there look and see the exile, the pain the root of good traits that has been uprooted the whole world going after money after honor, after falsehood, after lusts how they belittle the poor unfortunates how they belittle simple people how a simple and poor person how a person who is poor and despised a person who is ignorant and foolish — they will call him a fool and despise him and so they will despise all the creatures

16:28 and they will not appreciate the nature of the wise they will not honor one another, they will not love one another they will be in competition, they will be in pursuit of honor they will be in pursuit of money they will try to perpetuate the falsehood in every possible way That is the destruction of the Temple Whoever thinks that we are crying over this that Hashem, blessed be He, has no house that is a disgrace, that is shaming our King Hashem, blessed be He — He created this whole world and He gives it life and keeps it in being at every time and moment 'For Mine is the world and all it holds', Mine is the world and all it holds everything in creation, all of it is Hashem's, blessed be He and thousands and myriads more of worlds without measure

17:08 and angels who praise and laud and extol His great Name And He does not need anything from us only our will, only our eyes, only our heart that is what Hashem, blessed be He, wants from us He wants our heart the yearning, the will, the love the faith, the fear of Heaven, true and pure in order to understand what we are doing in this world and what we learn His Torah for and what we pray a prayer before Him for That is the meaning of Tishah B'Av for this we stop every year fast and think to ourselves how did we come to this destruction how did we come to the destruction of the Temple that the Shechinah departed 'Because of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza Jerusalem was destroyed' because of that baseless hatred, in harming the honor of the other fellow

18:03 We must feel and come to the principles of Hashem, blessed be He beyond a person's selfish will and above a person's intellect and logic for everyone tries to picture his will in his mind and what he will do in the world, and how he will make a living for himself and for his children and for all that is his But the opposite — if a person will stop and think what is my purpose in this world How did the Imros Moshe put it?

18:40 'I am ashamed that the Temple was not built in my days' That is how he said it This is what should pain us each and every year each and every year we have the privilege and the possibility, the gift that Hashem gave us, to unite on one day a year with the root of the pain Tishah B'Av is a day of very great pain but it is a kindness that Hashem, blessed be He, did with us to unite and to understand and to try to change to understand what was destroyed for us and what our goal is The goal of a rav, of a Rebbe, of everyone in the world of tzaddikim, of the wicked, of sinners of in-between people, of each and every level is only the will of Hashem, blessed be He and to love Hashem, blessed be He

19:38 and to want to lay foundations of good of mercy, of compassion, of honor That was the Temple when the Temple was standing all the principles and all the foundations Look into the Torah — look just from understanding the rational mitzvos there are mitzvos that have a reason and there are mitzvos whose reason we cannot understand but when Hashem, blessed be He, tells us to 'Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long' Look: 'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery' that Hashem, blessed be He, gives us the Commandments these Commandments symbolize the root — the will to exist in order to survive and to shine the light of Hashem in this very world the true revelation of Hashem's will so that the world can go on existing so that the world will go on shining light

20:48 in order to see the Kingship of Hashem The Temple was founded on all the Commandments and on the whole purpose on all that Hashem, blessed be He, wanted from us and therefore it was the symbol of atonement for every sin, for every transgression that one who went against Hashem's will against a law of the holy Torah the Temple was the place that atoned for him, and he was atoned And if a person returned in teshuvah to Hashem and wanted to give thanks to Hashem he would bring a thanksgiving offering before Him in the Temple And there was also a level for each person for there was the 'rising and descending' offering which rose to the level of the rich and for the level of the poor, turtledoves and young pigeons each one according to his level

21:40 The Temple was a symbol of compassion of the honor of a person, both for the rich and for the poor and also of mercy, of compassion so that the whole world would see a place that brings atonement that a person would not stay even one night in Jerusalem with some iniquity under... having some sin, Heaven forbid, or some iniquity in his hand Heaven forbid, ever The Temple atoned for everything The place of the Temple is a place of atonement and forgiveness and therefore man was created from the place of the Temple and everything, everything, everything began here from the creation of the world, from the beginning, when the first man was created until the end, when Mashiach, the last man, will come and will tread in the Temple to bring the redemption and to do all that is needed

22:37 Everything began from the beginning everything began in this place and everything will end in this place This is the holiest and most exalted place in the world And therefore this day is a great and very, very, very awesome day It is both the First Temple and the Second Temple because this day, the Tes, the Tes, the ninth symbolizes all the power of what Hashem, blessed be He, brought down into the world the Tes, the Tes — it actually holds the power as we see that one that S.M., the angel who is destined to be slaughtered he is called the Satan, he is the angel of death And therefore on this day, on this Tes when we weep over the Temple and grieve over the Temple we take this Tes, this day this Tes that was taken from him

23:47 and turn it and reveal it into mercy and compassion before Hashem and show Hashem that we are sorry over all this exile and over all these traits and want to reveal His mercy and His compassion in the world And let us try to be as good as possible, better more giving, with better thoughts and so also to reveal the light of Hashem, blessed be He for we look and see the root of all the letters, all of them where each and every thing is drawn from and especially as we see that in Tishah B'Av there is a great hint to this Tes that each and every year, precisely on this day, on this ninth at this time we fast and grieve and remember the destruction of Jerusalem And that one — Satan is his name

24:46 this Tes stands in the middle of his name in the middle of his name to show that all his power and all his nourishment is from this Tes from this Tes that stands from the destruction of the Temple And the closer they will be to this day and unite with this day and understand the principles I have explained they will take the Tes from him and the Kingship of Hashem, blessed be He, will be revealed Later in the year we confuse him that is with the shofar blasts on Rosh Hashanah That is why 'Rosh Hashanah' adds up exactly to the number of 'Beis HaMikdash' The hint is that Rosh Hashanah the time when the Satan is confused through the shofar is the Beis HaMikdash; and the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed on the ninth of Av

25:35 and the Satan has the Tes standing in his middle And therefore, the more they understand the true knowledge the knowledge of Hashem, the knowledge of the Torah so through this the glory of Hashem's Kingship will be revealed so through this we will understand the reasons of the mitzvos we will understand our connection, we will understand what we are doing in this world what we are waiting for in this world, and what our purpose is And Hashem, blessed be He, wants from each and every one of you each and every one is precious beyond measure and the redemption depends on you, on each and every one both on a man and on a woman everyone can act and shine the light of Hashem and one must take responsibility and change and shine the good in the world and drive away the darkness

26:30 and as soon as we do this and unite and understand in our minds what was destroyed and what we are fasting over this — and in the merit of this we will merit the complete redemption
