Nachamu 5737 The point of this Nachamu, Menachem Av, 15 Menachem Ma’amar is the idea of “Yerida Tzorech Aliya” even if were being punished, there needs to be a gain from the intermittent decline; and in our case it is almost 2,000 of Galus. In three points (in the order we taught it, which is inverse of how they appear in the Ma’amar): 1) הגידה לי שאהבה נפשי איכה תרעה איכה תרביץ בצהרים וגו’ אם לא תדעי לך היפה בנשים צאי לך בעקבי הצאן ורעי את גדיותיך על משכנות הרועים; a conversation between Yidden and Hashem about how He will survive theGalus, and He responds, not only will I survive I will thrive (because) and I will grow. 2) 15 Menachem Aliya after greatest Yerida; Churban Beis HaMikdash, תוקפו של חמה is healed on 15 Menachem תשש כחה של חמה of Klipa. 3) Nachamu Nachamu twice, two set backs to ascents.
