Tamuz Needs A Vav
Rabbi Nachman explains why (attached)
The Arizal reveals which vav specifically
Six names of Hashem
הויה, טדהד, כוזו, מצפץ, אלף למד הה יוד מם, אדני
Proper usage tranforms desolate exile into utopia
Exactly 33 letters
The sixth name of the Yetzer Hora is אבן
לקטו אבנים ונעשה גל
The sixth millenium brings with it Tzaddikism
אבן מאסו הבונים היתה לראש פנה

תורה ריז
זִכְרוּ תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה (סוף מלאכי) – רָאשֵׁי־תֵּבוֹת תַּמֻז, חָסֵר וָאו. כִּי אָז, בְּתַמּוּז, צְרִיכִים לְהַמְשִׁיךְ הַזִּכָּרוֹן לְתַקֵּן הַשִּׁכְחָה, כִּי אָז נִתְהַוֶּה הַשִּׁכְחָה, כִּי עַל־יְדֵי הַלּוּחוֹת שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּבְּרוּ בְּחֹדֶשׁ תַּמּוּז נִתְהַוָּה הַשִּׁכְחָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (עירובין נד): אִלְמָלֵא לֹא נִשְׁתַּבְּרוּ הַלּוּחוֹת הָרִאשׁוֹנוֹת לֹא נִשְׁתַּכְּחָה תּוֹרָה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל, וְעַל־כֵּן חָסֵר וָאו מִתַּמֻּז כַּנַּ”ל, כִּי מֵאַחַר שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּבְּרוּ הַלּוּחוֹת נִסְתַּלֵּק הַוָּאו, כִּי הַלּוּחוֹת הֵם בְּחִינַת וָאו, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (ב”ב יד): הַלּוּחוֹת אָרְכָּן שִׁשָּׁה וְרָחְבָּן שִׁשָּׁה: גַּם זְמַן מַתַּן תּוֹרָתֵנוּ – רָאשֵׁי־תֵּבוֹת תַּמֻּז. כִּי בְּתַמּוּז נִתְּנוּ הַלּוּחוֹת, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (יומא ד:). וְגַם כָּאן חָסֵר וָאו, מֵחֲמַת שֶׁאָז נִשְׁתַּבְּרוּ הַלּוּחוֹת, שֶׁהֵם בְּחִינַת וָאו, כַּנַּ”ל:
Ask Anyone Where Chazal Refer To The Three Weeks
They won’t know that
Or why Tikun 21 is the largest part of Tikunei Zohar
Or why we have two different shins on our תפלין של ראש
Or why the Zohar insists we stare at both shins before we don those tefillin
Ask anyone what are the kavanos for the three weeks
They’ll say, “Check the Arizal”
Like the Mishna Berura does
Rabbi Shimon and the Arizal share the same Rebbe
Eliyahu HaNavi
The five letters of אליהו correspond to the five events of the 17th of Tamuz
The five of הנביא to the five of Tisha b’Av
Five halved stones
These are the חמשה חלקי אבנים מן הנחל
Of דוד מלכא משיחא
The fusion stone of Yaakov Avinu
The stone we place under our head as we sleep
The night of Tisha b’Av
Chatzos Kollels have become popular in recent years. Only the Zohar emphasizes the importance of this practice. It’s repeated there dozens of times.
With the haskama of Rav Moshe Shapiro zt”l I encourage people to learn this way themselves whenever possible.
When we can’t, next best is to sponsor someone who can. The ideal subject of learning after chatzos is Kabbala.
$1500 will sponsor a talmid chochom learning kabbala in Yeshivas Rashbi for a month.
Twenty years ago a colleague in the Mir discovered a number of talmidei chachomim struggling financially who refused to receive tzedaka. He outsmarted them.
They were invited to join a Shabbos kollel paying them nicely for learning they were doing anyway wherever they want. Donors don’t know the recipients, and the recipients don’t even know they’re receiving tzedaka. This is the Stealth Kollel.
Stealthily supporting thirty world class talmidei chachomim learning in Yerushalayim. The most ideal form of tzedaka, as stipulated in Bava Basra 9a.
There are no expenses and no advertising. 100% tzedaka.
Sponsoring one avrech for a month is $1000. But donations of any size are warmly welcomed.
