The Zahor Hakadosh says that the reason is that the mother (Hashem) should look for her children. It says that it will be happening that a nest of birds will be found by you, but the problem is that it is written with an aleph when it should have been written with a heh. Similarly Yaakov Avinu tells his children that I will tell you what will happen and the end of days, again written with an aleph. Maybe, it says in the Midrash that Meshiach can be brought for three reasons where all three are related to reading or speech. Learning of mishnayos, belief and the act of bowing down showing appreciation for the good, That is Mishnayos, Krias Shma and Davening. What about if he does not want the birds or the eggs? There are three reason, protecting the species showing mercy and the above. According to the two reasons no because you are protecting the species, if you don’t take the birds or eggs and you show more mercy by leaving them with the mother.
Nice vort, but the Midrash doesn’t say that Mashiach is brought through this mitzvah. The Torah says shiluach haken gives long life. I read last week that a Midrash says that a woman without children should do shiluach haken, and in the merit of showing mercy to a mother, Hashem will grant her children.
Tanchuma also says that since it’s followed by pesukim about getting married and building a house, it’s also a segulah for those.
One other thing I read is that it’s not supposed to be planned. It’s supposed to be a happenstance – you find a nest. It shouldn’t be a nest that you know is there, where you go specifically to do the mitzvah. It needs to be unplanned.But where does it say Mashiach will be brought through this mitzvah?
We need to think about the economic impact of Mashiach. There are probably millions of politicians, journalist, bloggers, and people who spend their life in chat rooms. What will they do? Massive dislocation?
if this was true moshiach wouldve been here long ago i think a bigger segula to bring moschiach would be to do a chesed for another jew
> We need to think about the economic impact of Mashiach
Have bigger emunah than naarim ketanim who were upset that Elisha cured waters in Yericho and their jobs went away. There will be politicians who will argue that they are the true moschiach party and the blogs with insider information.
how is chasing away the mother for no tachlis showing mercy?
Ray > how is chasing away the mother for no tachlis showing mercy?
How is this mitzva is so special, as it is one of the 74 mitzvos in Ki Tetse. More effort is required to catch a girl in the war, raise a glutton kid, lo aleinu, hang stoned criminals, build a fence on the roof, get married and then tell lashon haro about her, then divorce her, and then not divorce her depending on circumstances, buy a portable toilet before a trip, get interest from non-Jews, do halitza and remember Amalek.
DWKL1, much more Chessed has been done that Sheluach Haken. And so, if you are correct, Moshiach should have long been here.
The munkatcher rebbe traveled far and wide just to meet the saba kadisha, rav alefandria, in eretz yisroel. A talmid of the munkatcher was able to catch the first bit of their conversation, before he was discovered and sent away. The munkatcher asked the saba kadisha, when will moshiach come? He answered, Hinei hu achar koslainu, he is on the other side of our wall. The munkatcher asked, why then is he not here? To which the saba jadisha answered, “because of the reshoim.” In his unbelievable humility, the munkatcher asked, “am I one of them?”
The reshoim are holding back the geulah. Far from the fantasies of the religious zionists, that the state facilitates the geulah, it and its leaders are actively preventing it .
Avira, if you accept a Munkachever story, why don’t you accept Munkacheve humility?!
Without ad hominems: It is not hard then to invite Moschiach by moving far away from “reshoyim” in EY. I am, though, not aware of Munkachever enclaves in Area C or on the other side of the Golans. The one I davened at is under Tzioni protection in Petach Tikva.
why bump? I thought this was settled. Did Munkach move to to Area C or join the government?
It’s Shiluach Hakan not haKen…
It is Shiluach haken, not hakan. The word in the Torah is Kan Tzipor which means nest of a bird. Kan is a possessive word. If that which is being possessed does not immediately follow, then the regular word is kain.
No offense intended, sir, but Shiluach HaKan cannot and will not bring the Melech HaMashiach.
Chazal clearly teach that the destruction of the Temple and the exile were both caused by our failure with mitzvot-ben-Adam-LeChavero. Therefore, the Melech HaMashiach can only be brought through mitzvot-ben-Adam-LeChavero. Sorry about that!
If you doubt that what I said is true, then please read the two Torah quotes shown below:
Jerusalem Talmud, tractate Yoma, chapter 1, law 1, page 4B:
Rabbi Yochanan ben Tortota taught:
“…During the era of the Second Temple, the Jews labored to study Torah, and they were careful with [all] mitzvot and tithes, and every kind of good deed was found in them.
However, [the Second Temple was destroyed] because they loved money and hated each other.”Babylonian Talmud, tractate Yoma, page 9B:
“In the time of the Second Temple, they [Israel] occupied themselves with Torah [study],
obeying the commandments [mitzvot] and performing acts of kindness (chesed).So why was the [Second] Temple destroyed?
Because of causeless hatred (sinat chinam) that was there…”
I’m not sure ANY of the CR gadolim really have a clue as to what and when will bring z’man moishiach any more than those guys with yellow flags running up and down Eastern Parkway, and in some respects, they may provide a higher liklihood predictor. However, in the larger scheme of things, I doubt whether the Ebeshter’s Moishiach Task Force has created a special task force of maalachim to address the disruptions to online social media that might be triggered by a legit moishiach sighting.
SQRT,
this is a meaningless argument – when Moschiach comes, b’mwhira, those who focus on bein adam l’havero will claim it was their effort, those who were looking for birds in the forest – will claim it was theirs! I doubt Melech Hamoschiach will resolve this – l’derech shalom, or maybe even like current politicians, he will tell everyone what they want to hear – after all, al pi Rambam, there will be no difference from before, except Jews will not be subjugated. And we are getting a taste how Jews behave in such case from the Knesset elections.Read a new (” new to me”, as my youngest kid says) on the mother bird – the reward is the same as parents as the connection is some sort of respect to the mother. While, respect to your own parent is easier to rationalize as you personally owe for the hours spent diapering you, respect of the unrelated to you mother-bird should make us think of the value of motherhood. Basically, the well known Jewish maxim “every day is Mother’s day” is from this posuk.
