Reading of Za'zu'a: He is a reminder!, that no one knows about tribulations. Or: The expression of a negative position is incised according to what has been said (it is formed and in the original 'has' comes from the root khos, as if to say: to stop, to have mercy. 'Khalilah' means 'not', 'this is not seen').

("What is written (Tahillim Zev) A righteous man like a date tree will flourish like a cedar in Lebanon, he will flourish - If we say Tamar, why do we say cedar, and if we say cedar, why do we say Tamar? If we say Tamar and not cedar, I would say: What is Tamar, its root has no substitute - Even a righteous man is a thorn and a thorn has no substitute, so we say cedar, if We said Erez and we did not say Tamar, I would have said: What is Erez that does not bear fruit - even a righteous man has a beard and a thorn does not bear fruit, so we said Tamar and we said Erez" - Ta'anit Koch 2b, and so: "And there are among our people, the children of Israel, who are wrong, beard and peace, in their hearts, so that all their prayers are in vain" - R. Nachman of Breslau/ Likutei Moharan, Torah 2:6, and so on: "Possessors and guards that no harm may come upon their hands, peace and blessings" - Mendelei Mos/ Masaot Binyamin Hashilishi, 6:44, and so on: "But you say, for it will not be possible to return in peace to America, if they send, peace and blessings, the orphan who has been abandoned in the land" - Peace be upon you/ Our feet stand at the gates of America, RN, And so: "May the authorities hang my books and my books in this matter, which has the smell of rebellion in it" - Y. Burla/ Silvers, 266)
