Nechamah: Changing Perspective
Parashas Vaโeschanan / Shabbos Nachamu
Harav Hagaon Rabbi Wahrsager Shlita
Right after Tisha B’Av we have Shabbos Nachamu. This progression was established by Chazal, as Tosafos (Megillah 31b) cites the Pesiktaโs teaching that Chazal instituted that after the three haftaros of puranuyos that we read during the Three Weeks come the seven haftaros of nechamah, followed by Aseres Yemei Teshuvah and Shabbos Shuvah.
But where does this nechamah come from, considering that weโre still in galus? And why does it start right after Tisha B’Av?
Although the true nechamah is going to come only leโasid lavo, at the time of Moshiach, the fact that Chazal instituted the reading of these haftaros of nechamah obviously indicates that we can taste the nechamah already now. And the message is clear: after a Tisha B’Av, after we experienced aveilus and felt how badly weโre missing the Beis Hamikdash, now is when we have a little bit of a connection to the nechamah. This is alluded to in the passuk in Eichah (3:29): ืึดืชึผึตื ืึผึถืขึธืคึธืจ ืคึผึดืืืึผ ืืึผืึทื ืึตืฉื ืชึผึดืงึฐืึธื โ when we sit on the floor in mourning, when we see that we canโt go further and we desperately need the Beis Hamikdash, then we have a ray of hope.
Iโd like to try to understand the idea of nechamah in the Torah and specifically the nechamah of ื ึทืึฒืืึผ ื ึทืึฒืืึผ ืขึทืึผึดื.
Rashi makes an astounding statement at the end of Parashas Bereishis, commenting on the passuk: ืึทืึผึดื ึผึธืึถื ื’ ืึผึดื ืขึธืฉืึธื ืึถืช ืึธืึธืึธื ืึผึธืึธืจึถืฅ. Before the Mabul, Hakadosh Baruch Hu regretted, so to speak, having created man. Rashi explains that the word ืึทืึผึดื ึผึธืึถื means: ื ืืคืื ืืืฉืืชื ืฉื ืืงืื ืืืืช ืจืืืื ืืืืช ืืืื โ Hakadosh Baruch Hu โchanged His mindโ about having created the world with middas harachamim and His thoughts turned to middas hadin. Rashi brings many examples of pesukim that mention nechamah and says: ืืืื ืืฉืื ืืืฉืื ืืืจืช ืื.
We see from Rashi that the idea of nechamah, whenever itโs used in the Torah, implies a change of perspective. At the time when something happened, it was experienced in a certain way, it had a certain flavor, but later there was a change in perspective regarding what happened. Thatโs a nechamah.
Nechamah in the sense of consolation means looking back at a bad event, a tzarah, and seeing it in a different way. Nechamah is not only a promise that good times are going to come, but rather a way of changing perspective on what already happened.
A Motherโs Consolation
The nechamah after Tisha B’Av is not only the belief that Moshiach is going to come; itโs the newfound ability to view the terrible tzaros of the galus, all of the bechiyah lโdoros, and see them, retroactively, in a positive light. Hakadosh Baruch Hu is telling us, โIโm going to show you how it was all for the good, because it was all part of whatโs bringing about My connection to you and what was necessary for the geulah sheleimah.โ
In order for our connection with Hakadosh Baruch Hu to be complete, itโs not enough for Him to tell us that we have a bright future ahead of us. There is still a scar from the past, and the only way to remove that scar is through the process of nechamah. Nechamah has the power to erase the scar of the tzaros of the past by changing our perspective on those events. The Pesikta Rabbasi (perek 31) teaches that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is going to try to send Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov to console Yerushalayim and Klal Yisrael, but that is not going to work; only Hakadosh Baruch Hu bichvodo uveโatzmo is going to be able to comfort Klal Yisrael. Why is that?
We can explain this according to the passuk in Yeshayah that states: ืึผึฐืึดืืฉื ืึฒืฉืึถืจ ืึดืึผืึน ืชึผึฐื ึทืึฒืึถื ึผืึผ ืึผึตื ืึธื ึนืึดื ืึฒื ึทืึถืึฐืึถื ืึผืึดืืจืึผืฉืึธืึทึดื ืชึผึฐื ึปืึธืืึผ. The person who can comfort someone most effectively is a mother. When a person experiences a devastating loss, such as the loss of a loved one, people come to console him, but the mourner always feels that those people donโt really understand his anguish, and he therefore canโt fully accept their words of nechamah. Those people arenโt living his pain, so how can they change his perspective on what happened?
The only one who can empathize with another person completely is a mother. A mother feels the pain of her child through and through โ and she is therefore the only one who can offer true nechamah. She can tell her child, โI feel your pain โ and even so I want to give you a different perspective and help you see how this was really for the good.โ
Hakadosh Baruch Hu is the ultimate mother. He feels every single tear, every last emotion of every Yid throughout the generations in every tzarah that they went through. Hakadosh Baruch Hu is the one who can say:ืึธื ึนืึดื ืึฒื ึทืึถืึฐืึถื ย โ I will console you.
Double Punishment; Double Consolation
To better understand the nechamah of ื ึทืึฒืืึผ ื ึทืึฒืืึผ ืขึทืึผึดื, letโs refer to a well-known teaching of the Midrash (Eichah Rabbah 1:47):
ืืืื ืืืคืืื ืืืชืื ืืื ืืืื ืืจืืฉืื, ืืืงื ืืืคืืื, ืืืชืื ืื ืืงืื ืืื ื’ ืืคืืื ืืื ืืืืชืื, ืืืชื ืืืื ืืืคืืื, ืืืชืื ื ืืื ื ืืื ืขืื ืืืืจ ืืืืืื.
Klal Yisraelโs sin was twofold, they were punished twofold, but in the end they will have a twofold nechamah. What does this mean?
In Rav Elchanan Wassermanโs maamar on teshuvah in Kovetz Haaros, he explains that every cheit actually involves two aspects: besides the damage wrought by the actual cheit, thereโs also the dimension of rebellion against Hakadosh Baruch Hu and the subsequent disconnection in the relationship between the sinner and Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
Our relationship with Hakadosh Baruch Hu is twofold: He is Avinu and Malkeinu, we are both banim to Him and avadim, as we say during the Yamim Noraโim: ืื ืืื ืื ืื ืืขืืืื. In our role as avadim, we need to keep Hakadosh Baruch Huโs โbusinessโ going, so to speak, by performing ratzon Hashem, being mekadesh Shem Shomayim, and doing the mitzvos that keep this world afloat. In our role as banim, however, itโs all about the relationship. Itโs not a business partnership; itโs a relationship of love. As banim, we do his ratzon purely to maintain our kesher.
When the passuk uses the double lashon of ืึตืึฐื ืึธืึฐืึธื ืึฐืจืึผืฉืึธืึทึดื, itโs referring to the twofold problem of cheit: the damage caused by the cheit and the damage to our relationship with our Father in Heaven. Those two aspects are reflected in the double punishment: ืึผึดื ืึธืงึฐืึธื ืึดืึผึทื ื’ ืึผึดืคึฐืึทืึดื ืึผึฐืึธื ืึทืึผึนืืชึถืืึธ. When Hakadosh Baruch Hu has to punish us by sending us into galus, we suffer not only from the actual hardship that we experience, but also from the feeling of being banished by Hashem. And the anguish of that disconnection and hester panim is perhaps even worse than the trials and tribulations themselves. We were not just punished by a distant king; we were struck by our loving Father and forsaken by Him.
When a husband gives his wife a get, besides the fact that she is no longer receiving his support, she feels the pain of the relationship being severed. Thatโs the double punishment we received.
The double nechamah of ื ึทืึฒืืึผ ื ึทืึฒืืึผ ืขึทืึผึดื addresses both dimensions of the punishment. Not only will Hakadosh Baruch Hu show us that all the tzaros and anguish were for our benefit, He will also show us that the very disconnection served to enhance our relationship. As avadim, we will then be better able to perform Hashemโs mitzvos and sanctify His Name, and as banim, we will be even closer to Him. That is our double consolation.
We say in Kaddish: ืืขืืื ืืื ืืจืืชื ืืฉืืจืชื ืชืืฉืืชื ืื ืืืชื. What does it mean that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is โloftier than any consolation (ื ืืืชื)โ?
The nechamah of Hakadosh Baruch Hu is in a totally different league from any other nechamah in this world. Every other nechamah involves a question and an answer โ
โ a terrible problem whose purpose can now be explained and retroactively understood. Yet Hakadosh Baruch Huโs nechamah uproots the question entirely. When He eventually comforts us, we will no longer feel that there was ever a problem; our questions will disappear and melt away entirely, since it will be clear that the hardships of galus served to enhance our ability to serve Hashem as avadim and deepen and cement our connection to Him as banim.
May we be zocheh to start feeling this nechamah now, and experience the complete nechamah speedily in our days.
Gut Shabbos.
