Amazing, shimini atzereth is called zman simcatheinu precisely because its a day we have the temple and not only this but the original idea he shall dwell in us, so in a sense absent of this there is no simcha and this is what October 7th came to remind us and the simcha Torah a year or 2 prior to October 7th where there was a terrorist attack, to remind us to not have a superficial simcha with the traditional festivities but to yearn for the ultimate simcha when Hashem is back in our midst. That on shimini atzeret much like Chanukah it should really be about re dedicating our fathers house.
Amen v'Amen!!!
Yishar koach!!!
Great stuff, wonderful insights, deeply rooted in Torah.
Very interesting to hear this.
Shimini HaTzeret celebrates the new earth and the new heaven. The new begining! The new heaven.
