Sometime last night – on the tenth of
Av – the time remembered every year as the time that the holy
temple – Beis Hamikdash – burned down. The new Ner Tamid (little
continuous flame) above the doors to the holy tzion burned out. This
new Ner Tamid was inaugurated a few weeks ago – it was filled to
the top with olive oil, and burned continuously till the tenth of Av
(yesterday I gave notice to one of the people who initiated the ner
tamid, but he shrugged it off saying it was still good for another
day, and as is the way of Rabbainu, I did not harp on him, even
though I had a feeling that this is what would happen, it would
extinguish at such an inauspicious
To understand how this amazingly
reflects the destruction of the temple – the victory of the
Luminary of Fire over the Luminary of Light – see Likutay Moharan,
Torah 67.
B”H the Ner Tamid was rekindled a few
hours ago!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!!
