<p><strong>Today's daf is sponsored by Dina Kaufman and Rob Ginsburg to celebrate the wedding of their son Aaron to Dana Houri. "So good to have a simcha in these difficult times. Mazal tov!"</strong></p> <p><strong>Today's daf is sponsored by Mark and Rena Septee Goldstein in loving memory of Moe Septee, on his 28th yahrzeit. "A truly wonderful man." </strong></p> <p>Sancheriv's humiliation by God after he fails in the battle of Jerusalem and his death by the hands of his sons is explained in detail.</p> <p>How did Avraham beat the four kings? He was also helped by an angel, according to one interpretation, just as Chikiyahu was.</p> <p>Yirmiyahu asked God: why do evil people live good lives? God answers, using Nevuchadnetzer as an example.</p> <p>Nevuzaradin, the army officer of the Babylonians, was intimidated while trying to conquer Jerusalem as he was concerned he would meet the same end as Sancheriv. However, he was encouraged by a heavenly voice.</p> <p>When he entered the Temple, he saw the blood of Zecharia boiling. As a result, he killed many Jews, but eventually called on Zecharia to stop causing so many people to die. When that happens, he is so amazed that he converts to Judaism. There were others as well whose descendants converted to Judaism, including Sanheriv. God wanted Nevuchadnetzer's descendants to convert, but the angels stopped him. </p> <p>How did Nevuchadnetzer decide to go conquer Jerusalem? He was encouraged by Israel's neighbors Amon and Moab who gave him inside information that the time was right. Even so, he was very hesitant, after what happened to Sancheriv, but was encouraged that he would be successful. </p>

<p><strong>Today’s daf is sponsored by Rabbi Art Gould in memory of his beloved bride of 50 years, Carol Joy Robinson, Karina Gola bat Huddah v’Yehuda Tzvi on her 2nd yahrtzeit. "Carol was the tent-pole, the driving force, the glue that held our family together. No matter what happened, Carol knew what to do. Michalle, Miriam and I miss her terribly, even though she is in our thoughts every single day." </strong></p> <p><strong>Today's daf is sponsored by Risa Tzohar in loving memory of Fruma bat Risel and David.</strong></p> <p>Sancheriv had the opportunity to destroy Jerusalem but he delayed and missed his chance. The day he got to Jerusalem was the last day before the opportunity to punish for what happened in the city of Nov expired, but he waited until the next morning, on account of his arrongance, and therefore didn't succeed. </p> <p>King David was punished for what happened in Nov, holding him indirectly responsible for the death of all the inhabitants of the city. A whole encounter between him and Yishbi, the brother of Goliath is described as being connected to this. </p> <p>How many people did Sancheriv bring to fight against Jerusalem? With What did the angel strike the people? Who was left of Sanheriv's camp after the battle? </p>

<p><strong>Today's daf is sponsored by Nancy Kolodny in honor of her daughter-in-law Lisa Kolodny's birthday. "She brings light, love and learning into the lives of her family and friends." </strong></p> <p><strong>Today's daf is sponsored by Caroline Ben-Ari in loving memory of her mother, Daphne Rhodes, Daphne Devora bat Avraham v'Chana on her 8th yahrzeit.</strong></p> <p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">The story of the battle between Hizkiyahu and Sancheriv is discussed in detail, beginning with the tradition that Hizkiyahu was destined to be the messiah but was ultimately deemed unworthy because he failed to express gratitude to God after being saved from Sancheriv's attack.</p> <p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">In recounting this story, the Gemara uses it as a platform to emphasize the critical importance of Torah study. It specifically highlights that Hizkiyahu's merit in encouraging the people to learn Torah is what ultimately saved them from destruction.</p>
