Years before the Holocaust, there were very few Gedolim who
foresaw what was coming, in order to advise their flock what
action to take to save themselves from the upcoming Churban.
Most of the Gedolim did not foresee the future and as a result,
gave bad advice, or at best had no advice to give until it
was too late.
Part of the גזירה מן השמים then was that the עיני העדה were
blinded.
They were not aware of how the Churban was approaching.
Mori V'Rabi Harav
Hagaon R. Shlomo Miller Shlita quoted this
past Shabbos (Toldos) from R
Shamshon Rafoel Hirsh Zt"l who
said, one of the lessons we learn from the Parsha of יצחק & עשיו
is, that you can also fool & mislead a גדול.
I am just wondering if we have today a similar situation where
the עיני העדה are once again blinded.
If we do not do something concrete regarding the Shidduch crisis,
we will ח"ו have a Shidduch
Holocaust approaching.
If we don't change the situation to narrow the age gap between
boys & girls marrying, then in a matter of just a few short years
from now, 20% of Yeshivish /Heimish girls will never get married
and will remain עגונות for the rest of their lives.
Twenty percent of future generations are being ח"ו
wiped out
In addition to that, there is and will be an increase in unhappy
marriages & divorces due to the fact that girls have to settle for
anything that comes their way in dates.
Why Cheshvan & Kislev?
The טור (O.Ch. 428)
writes, ”תשרי is always a full month (30 days) and טבת is always a missing
(short) month (29days)
The months alternate one month is full and the
following is short.
The months of חשון
& כסלו are exceptions. Some years both months are full. (שנה
שלמה ).
Some years both months are short (חסרה) and some years one is full and the
other is short (כסדרה)“
The reason for this is to equalize the months.
A lunar cycle is 29 days+12 hours+ 793 חלקים (Approx. ¾ hr.)
A year can have 353- 354- or 355 days
The לבוש explains why חז"ל picked חשון
& כסלו to change the system of alternating full and short months. and not
any other month.
“The first opportunity we have to add or
subtract from the month is on the month of חשון.
We can’t do it on
ניסן & אייר because the 50th day of ספירה needs to be
on the 6th of סיון. (by adding or subtracting a day
we will have it on the 5th or the 7th )
From שבועות till יום כיפור we need to have 3x
40 days to commemorate the 3x 40 days from משה רבינו standing on the
mountain (שבועות) to bringing down the לוחות on
יום כיפור.
חדש תשרי is the king of the חדשים and the
Month with Yomim Tovim (ירח האתנים ) we can’t
make it a חסר.
Therefore, the first opportune time is in the month of חשון.
