Jay KelmanHOST
May their memories be for a blessing, and may the prayers and reflections of Slichot offered during these sacred days serve as an Aliyah for their Neshamot.
Jay KelmanHOST
Today, the Selicha for, for Tsom, Tsom Gedalia, the fast of Gedalia, which of course really marked the end of the destruction of the First Temple, the impact of the first destruction.
Jay KelmanHOST
Even though the Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in 586 BCE, they allowed the Jews to, um, to have sovereignty in the, in the land, and that really lasted till unfortunately, tragically, Gedalia Ben Achikam, the leader of the Jewish people who worked with the Babylonians, was assassinated by a fellow Jew, and that really marked the end of Jewish, uh, sovereignty in the land of Israel.
Jay KelmanHOST
And so it's a tragic, uh, day, one that unfortunately we haven't 100% learned the lessons of.
Jay KelmanHOST
Uh, and, uh, you know, everything in Jewish history that we, we commemorate is because it's really current events.
Jay KelmanHOST
We, we commemorate those things that are still important for us to remember for, um, to try to derive lessons from.
Jay KelmanHOST
So-- And the Slichot during Aseret Yemei Teshuva, and I think on Tsom Gedalia it's even more so, are longer than the Slichot before Rosh Hashanah.
Jay KelmanHOST
Um, except for, of course, Erev Rosh Hashanah.
GoldsteinHOST
Likewise, one may use mouthwash in such a case if he feels extreme discomfort or pain in his mouth.
GoldsteinHOST
Regarding bathing on Tzom Gedalia, there are Peiskim that are stringent in this, but the general custom is to be lenient.
GoldsteinHOST
And likewise regarding listening to music, although there are Peiskim that are stringent, the general custom is to be lenient.
GoldsteinHOST
May these days turn over to days of Tsafsin the Simcha and Yom Tov as concludes the Rambam in his laws of fasts.
Gideon RothsteinHOST
so there he thinks that you can say, the guy can stop himself, say Kiddushah with the community, so then he can start Atta Kaddosh over again, because he really meant to, and the Atta Kaddosh that he said was fundamentally accidental, and therefore he couldn't.
Gideon RothsteinHOST
So, in our response of the day for the third of Tishrei, for Tzom Gedalia, gives us a chance and a fast day is a good time to think about our prayers more carefully since we want on fast days our prayers to be particularly effective.
Gideon RothsteinHOST
Prayer is sort of part of the order of the day that we turn to Hashem and recognize the ways in which we need to change and improve and to build a better future.
Gideon RothsteinHOST
So part of understanding about tefillah is to recognize where we can and cannot join in Kiddushahs, not join in Kiddushahs, what the structure of Kiddushah is, and also the fundamental idea that sometimes when somebody has a new idea, even if we accept the idea as valid and appropriate and good, we nonetheless can only apply it in very limited circumstances.
