5. Eretzion's paid 611 and there was Salvecha Kinos 390 in the arts scroll Please give your attention to Rav Burg who will both introduce this final kina and close this morning's Kinos experience Tisha B'Av has a rhythm to it. We begin Sitting on the floor in a state of pure Avelos in the afternoon the Avelos Lessons significantly there was a minigah yershalayim that the women would wash the floors in preparation For the Coming of Mashiach We Know That Ultimately Tisha B'Av will be a Mo'id, it will be a Time of great simcha the transition between the morning and the afternoon occurs right now Now in this last kennah, we go from sitting on the floor and saying our kennos to standing up. The niggun that Rav Kamenetsky is going to use in a moment is a more optimistic niggun. The tone of the kennah, Elitzion Ve'areha, Kimo Isha B'Tzireha, we compare the Avelos that We've been experiencing to that of a child.
This is the transition from a morning of Avelas moving into the movement of Mashi'ah. We literally get up. If you've ever learned babakama, there's a tisvos in babakama that's very overwhelming. For the Magidashir of Dafyomi, there's only two or three lines on the daf. The tisvos itself is massive. It's among the largest teisas in Inchasto, I believe it's not the longest. I don't know if what I'm about to say is historically accurate and I'm not sure that we should be hearing this through the lens of history, but perhaps through the lens of Klimyas, of trying to understand the deeper message that's being spoken about. The Kleisenberger Eber and the Munkachir Eber, quoted from the B'nai Yis sasqar, the story of how that teisas was written. The Balaytosas were taken captive. They were given a choice. Accept a Christian God, disavow Yiddish or be put to death. And of course they made the obvious choice. So what did the Balaytosas do, said the Veneis Oslar? On the last night of their lives, as they're sitting in the

Dungeon. They did not have any ink to write. Somehow they had paper. So they cut their hands and they wrote that tisos in their blood. I don't know if that's historically what happened. But I think the B'nei Yisraq is telling us something very powerful and very deep. If a Yid has a couple of moments left in their life when faced with unimaginable tragedy, Your response has never been to succumb to the ping the response of a'yid has always been to get up the response of a'yid has always been what new tyro will be brought forth from this moment how will I bring to the rabban shalom an-nachas in these last moments of my life what will I give birth to? Rabbi Libuud spoke so beautifully a moment ago about the Holocaust being so relevant to us in our lives. And if the Holocaust still has relevance to us, then certainly what we're living through right now.
How are we changed in the last now nearly two years? How are we different? How are we different as a nation? How are we different as people? I remember last year Here when Rav Torschie spoke about having tehillim fatigue after dav'inah. We can't stop crying when we're saying this tehillim. We can't stop getting up. We can't stop, in any way, hash fashalam, we can't be numb to the pain. Pain is birth. Pain is how we become. The Yid doesn't suffer. We know that the Rebbe Nachman is with us. We know that there's a reason, even if it's a reason that we can't fathom, we know that there's a plan and a purpose to everything that we're going through. But the Rebbe Nachman leaves it to us to turn our pain into purpose. Because we don't know what the purpose of anything is. How will we be different this Tisha B'Av afternoon? What will we bring to Klal Yisrael? We have a responsibility to be different, to be with each other in a new way.
An Ovil does not remain on the floor. An Ovil gets up. And now it's our time to get up. The blood of Klal Yisrael has run through the streets of Yerushalayim. Come out every day. There's a new story. Last night, there was a hotel in Yerushalayim with a different NCSY program. And as I'm leaving the hotel, at about 1130 at night, there's a mother and a son. I don't know if they were religious or not. And the mother smiles at me and she wishes me a Shavu'atov. I smiled back. I wanted to be polite. And she said, I don't know what I'm supposed to say. What are you allowed to say on Tisha B'Av? Are you allowed to say Shavu'atov? So I didn't respond. I just smiled. And she said, I'd like to introduce you to my son who just got out of Han Yunez.
He was sitting with his gun. He was sitting next to his mother. And I sat down with them. And I said thank you. And we sat for a couple of minutes. A yid that I probably never would have sat with before. And maybe a yid that I'll never sit with again. But I feel closer to him. Maybe closer to him than I ever would have. If not for the times that we're living in. And at the end we gave each other a big hug and I wished him a meaningful teshubvav and he wished me a meaningful teshubvav and we got up and he walked me out. We have to get up with each other. We can't do what we've been doing. We can't sit in our separate circles, distinct from each other, making fun of each Each other deciding whose from and whose not from living in these fake communities that we've created As if the Rebbe nachman gets any nachas from these divisions that we've created To get up, to get up means that we're changed because we reached into the deepest essence of Who we are and we're living out the Rebbe nachman's mission In just a couple of hours from now, by the kumsets of the world, we're going to Great Mashiach.
I like that it's called the kumsets of the world. I like that. It's not the NCSY Kolol Kumsets. It's not the NCSY Program Kumsets. It's the kumsets of the world. It's the entire world coming together. It's all of Klal Yisrael becoming a light that shines so brightly that it illuminates Even the farthest corners of the world so let's arise let's get up and let's bez sashan bring Shabbat Shalom Tashiach
