Shlomo KatzHOST
Loaded.
Shlomo KatzHOST
I want you all to call me by Kislev and say, I don't even know what to do with all the Meisner that I have, you know, Chomesh with the 28% I have to give all of us.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Why not? You know, Hanan always tells me a line, it's so m'duyak.

The first reading is from the prophet Zechariah beginning at chapter 7, verse 1.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Kislev.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech and their men to entreat the favour of the Lord and to ask the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts and the prophets, Should I mourn and practice abstinence in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years? Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Say to all the people of the land and the priests, When you fasted and lamented in the fifth month and in the seventh for these seventy years, was it for me that you fasted? And when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat and drink only for yourselves? Were not these the words that the Lord proclaimed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, along with the towns around it, and when the Negev and the Shefelaw inhabited? The word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another.
Yossi PaltielHOST
The whole Fabrengen was an hour and a half.
Yossi PaltielHOST
But I remember the Rebbe said things that I was just... earth-shattering, a very, they were scholarly things, they were love this, they were not us, but they were incredible, there's a special Fabrengen, there's two edited Sikhes in that Shabbos, Parshas told us, there's two Mugidik Sikhes, the whole Fabrengen was an hour and a half, there's two Mugidik Sikhes, each one's probably eight or ten pages long, and one of the things that the Rebbe said, is that the word Kislev, means to reveal a secret, that's the title of the word, Kislev means to reveal a secret.
Yossi PaltielHOST
How so? Keif.
Yossi PaltielHOST
Keis.
Yossi PaltielHOST
Just to give you an example, there's a lot of reasons why Lamed Vav means to reveal, beginning with the fact Loi means to somebody else, to him, right? Keis Loi, to reveal the secret to somebody else.
Yossi PaltielHOST
But in Gemara it says that Eile, Alef, Lamed Hei, These is 36.
Yossi PaltielHOST
So it says, the word Kislev, Kislev, means to reveal a secret.
Yossi PaltielHOST
That's the whole thing.
Oshi BloomHOST
We spend a few extra minutes during Musaf, blessing, sanctifying the new month that's coming.
Oshi BloomHOST
Before Chashvan we do it, before Kislev, before all the months.
Oshi BloomHOST
There's one month of the year that we don't do Kiddush HaChodesh.
Oshi BloomHOST
There's one month we don't bless.

Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me.

Were not these the words that the Lord proclaimed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, along with the towns around it, and when the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited? The word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor, and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.
speaker_0HOST
So what on earth is all that about? So it says, the Mishnah of Rosh Hashanah falls on a Thursday.
speaker_0HOST
That those two months, Cheshvan and Kislev, were both Choseh, which means they were 29 days.
speaker_0HOST
that the he is referring to when Rosh Hashanah falls on a Thursday that that was a full year those two months were Mali in other words when Rosh Hashanah falls on a Thursday and the year was there was a leap year whether these months were 30 days or 29 days we would read And therefore, you've got an extra Shabbos for Kriya Satorah.
speaker_0HOST
And therefore, we read Achrimos before Pesach.
speaker_0HOST
Okay, so complicated halachas.
speaker_0HOST
So the rule is, again, if we read the Mechaba again, We always lay in Pashasav before Pesach, on a regular year except for when Rosh Hashanah falls on a Thursday that means that's also a simon that when Rosh Hashanah falls on a Thursday and that year is Sholem i.e. Cheshvan and Kislev is Sholem Then we do it Okay, that's essentially what it means.
speaker_0HOST
Good.
speaker_0HOST
We always lay in some top line of the next page.
speaker_0HOST
Merchesvan, Gimel, Daled, Vav, Alef.
speaker_0HOST
Kislev, Alef, Beis, Gimel, Daled, Heh, Vav.
speaker_0HOST
Teves, Alef, Beis, Gimel, Daled, Vav.
speaker_0HOST
And Shevat, uh, Beis, Gimel, Daled, Heh, Vav, Zai.
Shaya KatzHOST
Uh, either way.
Shaya KatzHOST
So it's just a fascinating thing to think about, and, uh, you can think about that in your own time, some, some, uh, some food for thought in terms of why does Atach Choni Le'adam Daas correspond to Tishrei, right? And why does, you know, Selach Lanu correspond to, to whatever, Cheshvan or, or Kislev? So a lot of these things, they're very interesting just to, to sort of ponder over, like what are this connection between these, and how does it connect to Reuven and Shimon and Levi? It's just like very-- It's, it's, you know, uh, to me at least, it's thought-provoking.
Shaya KatzHOST
You have to think about what are the connections between these th-th-these three, uh, modalities, these three, uh, concepts.
Shaya KatzHOST
So the Gemara Bracha says that while-- Well, look, so we have thirteen during the weekday in the middle section, but then on Shabbos, you only have one bracha, right? Mekadesh haShabbos b'Yisrael.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
Samech hey, it's not happening.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
And so Rabbi Akiva Yaakov Schlesinger in Kislev samech hey tells us what happened two months earlier of how it didn't happen this year, Rosh Hashanah, but we're priming ourselves for next year for Rosh Hashanah taf reish samech vav.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
Now, we have a dos from the Aderes that is mamash to the same tune.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
So where is that? So rabbi-- There is a sefer that was printed a long time ago, I think in the nineteen-forties.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
Okay, now what happens is, so samech hey didn't happen, but we're preparing for samech vav.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
We're preparing for samech vav.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
So, uh, the Rabbi Akiva Yosef Schlesinger continues writing in Tel Topiyyas in Cheshvan and in Kislev of taf reish samech hey.
Mordechai DinermanHOST
Again, his argument's, A, saying what happened, but B, he's adding additional arguments why the coming year, samech vav, we should go ahead and, uh, and, uh, do this.
