These verses make up one of the seven blessings sung at a Jewish wedding, and the words of one of most-sung wedding songs:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thus said GOD: Again there shall be heard in this place\u2026 in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem \u2026the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride\u201d (verses 10-11).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But this is not the first time this phrase has appeared in Jeremiah. The voice of the bridegroom and the bride have appeared before, but in very different circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And I will silence in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride. For the whole land shall fall to ruin (7:34);\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

For thus said GOD of Hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to banish from this place, in your days and before your eyes, the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride (16:9);\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And I will banish from them the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride, and the sound of the mill and the light of the lamp (25:10).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Three times out of the four that this verse appears, it is negative. Instead of mirth and happiness, God promises to wipe out these joyous celebrations. A wedding is a strong indication that things are going well. Even in tough times, two lovers will be eager to wed and continue their lives together. Only in the absolute worst times would the thought of starting a life together seem so foreign. Moreover, a public wedding celebration is an indication of good times. People have money to spend and have the freedom to attend joyous occasions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jeremiah\u2019s brilliant buildup of this theme in the book is punctuated by the positive twist in chapter 33. Those who are familiar with these words as a song, and are reading the book for the first time may be shocked to see the first three negative references, but then will be relieved to read the \u201cproper\u201d happy one now. This helps the reader experience the shift in feeling from negative to positive that Jeremiah is trying to convey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Besides the literal bridegroom and bride, the prophet may also be employing the image of the metaphorical marriage between the people and God. In the time of the destruction, the people did not\u00a0 want anything to do with God and, in turn, God did not want anything to do with the people. As a result, the joyous songs between God and the people ceased to be heard in Jerusalem. At the time of the redemption, the joyous songs between God and Israel will once again fill the streets of the Holy City.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the continuation of this divine apparition, God refers to: \u201c\u2026the corpses of the men whom I struck down in My anger and rage, hiding My face from this city because of all their wickedness\u201d (verse 5). God then promises His healing and reconstruction: \u201cI am going to bring her relief and healing. I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of true favor. And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and I will rebuild them as of old\u201d (verses 6-7).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The phrase translated here \u201cabundance of true favor \u2013 \u2018ateret shalom ve-\u2018emet\u201d is problematic, as indicated by the note in the New JPS translation (1985): \u201cMeaning of Heb. uncertain\u201d, referring specifically to the word \u2018ateret found in Scripture only here in this nominal construct form. Rashi comments briefly that \u2018ateret should be understood as \u201cblessing\u201d. Rabbi David Kimhi (RaDaK) understands \u2018ateret as \u201cabundance of prayer\u201d (ribui tefillah) by comparison with Genesis 25:21.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This line of interpretation is adopted by the 14<\/span>th<\/span> century Spanish scholar Israel ben Joseph Al-Nakawa in his Menorat Ha-Maor (ed. Enelow, II p. 40) in his discussion of synagogue prayer: The congregation in the synagogue should be amiable and loving. For then their prayer will be heard by their Father in Heaven, as it says: \u201cI will reveal to them prayer of peace and truth\u201d -- as apparently understood by Al-Nakawa. For he continues: \u2018ateret is prayer. During \u2018ateret (i.e. prayer) there is peace. And behold this is truth. But if not (i.e. if there is no peace during prayer) there is no truth. Therefore, the entire congregation should be friends and there should not be among them jealousy, hatred or competitiveness at all \u2013 how much the more so in the synagogue, in order to honor the Shekhinah (\u201cdivine presence\u201d) that dwells in the synagogue\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jeremiah\u2019s revelation of God\u2019s promise of healing is less problematic linguistically, but no less open to midrashic interpretation. According to Midrash Shir Ha-Shirim Rabbah (4:13) on Song of Songs 4:5, a human being cannot prepare a proper dressing without examining the wound. But God, by Whose word the world was created, first prepares the dressing and then inflicts the wound. This is suggested by God\u2019s promise in our Chapter about those \u201cmen whom I struck down in My anger and rage \u2026I will heal them\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

God\u2019s promise of divine healing seems to answer Jeremiah\u2019s earlier plea: \u201cHeal me, O Lord, and let me be healed! Save me and let me be saved! For You are my glory\u201d (Jeremiah 17:14). This verse, reformulated in the plural for communal prayer, provides the Scriptural basis for the 8<\/span>th<\/span> blessing in the daily Amidah: \u201cHeal us, O Lord, and we shall be healed. Save us and we shall be saved \u2026 For You, O God-King, are a faithful and merciful Healer. Blessed are You, O Lord, who heals the sick of Your people Israel\u201d.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":71397,"alt":"","title":"jer33-stethoscope","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope.jpg","width":1920,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1440,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-1200x900.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":900,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-560x420.jpg","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"Dr. God","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Heal us, and we shall be healed!","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":71397,"alt":"","title":"jer33-stethoscope","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope.jpg","width":1920,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1440,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-1200x900.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":900,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer33-stethoscope-560x420.jpg","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Jeremiah","chapter":"33","chapter_main_number":"433","date":"20270427","wall_id":"433"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":false},{"order":5,"id":"71405","color":"#e2f4fa","size":"1","name":"\u201cAbundance of Peace and Truth\u201d ","post_title":"\u201cAbundance of Peace and Truth\u201d","slug":"abundance-of-peace-and-truth","old_id":"71405","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":34243,"post_title":"Moshe Sokolow","slug":"moshe-sokolow","old_id":"34243","first_name":"Moshe","last_name":"Sokolow","description":"Dr. Moshe Sokolow is Associate Dean of the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration, Yeshiva University, and teaches a weekly class in parashat hashavu`a at Lincoln Square Synagogue.

We read in v. 6 that God vouchsafed Jeremiah <\/span>\u05c3<\/span>\u201dI am going to bring her [Jerusalem] relief and healing. I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.\u201d The Hebrew word that is translated here as \u201cabundance\u201d is `<\/span>ateret<\/span><\/i> and \u201cpeace and truth\u201d are <\/span>shalom ve\u2019emet<\/span><\/i>. Both renditions are problematic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

First, `<\/span>ateret<\/span><\/i> is a veritable <\/span>hapax legomenon<\/span><\/i>, a term that signifies a word that appears only once in a body of literature. While <\/span>`-t-r<\/span><\/i> may be related philologically to the root <\/span>`-sh-r<\/span><\/i>, meaning wealth (and, hence, abundance), if that were the prophet\u2019s intention, why not use the ordinary Hebrew? Furthermore, <\/span>shalom ve\u2019emet<\/span><\/i> is generally understood as a hendiadys, a <\/span>figure of speech in which a construction involving a noun is used in place of an adjective (e.g., <\/span>a man of wealth<\/span><\/i> instead of <\/span>a wealthy man<\/span><\/i>). Just like <\/span>hesed ve\u2019emet<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>see Gen. 47:29) means true grace, and <\/span>ger ve-toshav<\/span><\/i> (Gen. 23:4) is a resident-alien, <\/span>shalom ve\u2019emet<\/span><\/i> would signify true peace. [Full disclosure: While the 1917 JPS translation has \u201cpeace and truth,\u201d JPS <\/span>The Prophets<\/span><\/i> has \u201ctrue favor.\u201d We chose to follow the older version this time in order to make the point about hendiadys.]<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Here is what Shadal* had to say.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ateret<\/span><\/i>: Some interpret it as abundance. [Others} explain it as wealth, but we have never found wealth used metaphorically.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It appears to me every usage of <\/span>`-t-r<\/span><\/i> derives from the Syriac [a dialect of Aramaic] for rising smoke (see my commentary to Gen. 25:21). Here it means that I will reveal to them the place whence peace will arise; the place of peace; the place whence peace grows and rises, as in [the beginning of the verse]: \u201cI will raise up for her (<\/span>ma`aleh<\/span><\/i>) relief and healing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shalom ve\u2019emet<\/span><\/i>: True peace; everlasting, perpetual pace.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the depths of his despair, Jeremiah is revisited by a prophecy of consolation from the beginning of his career. In the early days of Josiah's reign, Jeremiah wandered the streets of Jerusalem, prophesying that God would raise up a scion of the House of David, a faithful shepherd, who would gather all the scattered remnants of Israel from the north, and then they would dwell in their land in peace and security. At the time, the prophet was sure that this vision was about to be fulfilled \u2014blossoming like the almond branch he was shown \u2014 and that Josiah was the great hope. Now he is an adult well past fifty and has borne the suffering and frustration of a much older man. Yet his prophecy about the field in Anathoth transports him back to his childhood and hometown \u2014back to the faith that animated his first revelations. On the eve of Jerusalem's destruction, Jeremiah hears God speaking words of comfort (33:10-11).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This is the mirror image of the terrible curse that Jeremiah cast upon the people of Anathoth (ch. 2). Then, when he had just accepted the verdict of a celibate life, his prophecy was interpreted as the seal of Israel's destruction. Now, after all those bitter years, he repeats these same words, but inverted \u2014 as consolation. All these years after Josiah's fall at Megiddo, after Jerusalem has deteriorated and reached the brink of destruction, Jeremiah utters a prophecy abstract and distant, but eternal:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBehold, days are coming \u2014 declares the Lord \u2014 when I shall uphold the good word I spoke about the House of Israel and the House of Judah. In those days and at that time, I will raise up a true scion of David, and he will do what is just and right in the land. In those days, Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in security and be called \"The Lord is our righteousness.\" (33:14-16)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just like the chapters of destruction and warning are depressing, dark and graphic, the consolation chapters are uplifting and joyful, as if one can hear the heartwarming music from between the lines:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thus said the LORD: Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say is ruined, without man or beast\u2014in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man, without inhabitants, without beast; the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride, the voice of those who cry, \u201cGive thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good, for His kindness is everlasting!\u201d as they bring thanksgiving offerings to the House of the LORD. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as of old\u2014said the LORD (33:10-11).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Five different voices of joy are named in this chapter. The Talmud in Tractate Brachot (6a) tells us that \u201canyone who benefits from the feast of a groom but does not cause him to rejoice violates the five voices mentioned in this verse\u201d. And what about the one who causes the groom to rejoice? The Gemara continues: \u2018He is privileged to acquire the Torah, which was given with five voices, as it is stated: \u201cAnd it was on the third day, when it was morning, there were sounds [<\/span>kolot<\/span><\/i>], and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and the voice of the <\/span>shofar<\/span><\/i>\u201d (Exodus 19:16).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Kolot,<\/span><\/i> the plural for <\/span>kol<\/span><\/i>, voice, which is used here, suggests at least two sounds, while \u201cthe voice of the shofar\u201d is one more. The passage continues: \u201cAnd when the voice of the <\/span>shofar<\/span><\/i> grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him by a voice\u201d (Exodus 19:19). Along with the three previous voices, the second shofar and the voice with which God answered Moses total five voices at the revelation at Sinai.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ben Yehoyada is surprised we\u2019re looking for a reward for doing a mitzvah. Would we ask this about every mitzvah? Shouldn\u2019t it be just the joy and pleasure of the celebration? Nevertheless, since it says, there must be an extra one. Perhaps just like separation is emblematic of great pain, so is sharing in a union of joy, expressed in many voices (are there coincidentally all together 10?).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s nice to come to this chapter specifically on Purim. Unlike Hanukkah when we \u201csee\u201d the light, on this day we make some noise, whether with megillah reading itself or the grogger. The Pesikta Zutarta suggests that we emphasize eating and drinking on Purim, because eating and drinking connect and bring people together. And we read about Esther\u2019s command (4:16): \u201cGo gather all the Jews\u201d. May we have a jubilant day, in many voices of joy!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  1. A sure thing<\/em>. To prophesy a prophecy of comfort exactly when the prophecy of catastrophe is being fulfilled, is a strong message for those who are listening. Just as the destruction was certain, so is the restoration in the future. A sure thing - just a matter of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  2. The righteousness plant<\/em>. That is to say: a plant that \u201cgrows righteousness.\u201d That\u2019s what the Hebrew means in verse 15, \u201cI will raise up a true branch [tzemach tzedaka] of David\u2019s line\u201d referring to the future leader from the House of David \u201che shall do what is just and right in the land.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. An answer to despair<\/em>. In verse 24 we hear \u201cwhat this people said...\u201d They are hopeless, and are sure that God has completely abandoned them. The prophecy about the renewal of the covenant, forever, is the answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Two families<\/em>. Who are the two families in verse 24 - Judah and Israel? Or are they the royal family and the priestly line? The interpretation you choose will define the scope of the despair.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  5. What is as certain as day and night?<\/em> The covenant that will be renewed with the house of David and the priests. Just as it is impossible to void \u201cMy covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night should not come at their proper time,\u201d thus is also impossible that \u201cMy covenant with My servant David be broken\u2014so that he would not have a descendant reigning upon his throne\u2014or with My ministrants, the levitical priests\u201d (vv. 20-21).<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","post_main_content_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to
