Interesting Chasam Sofer

Greetings from Gulus

I heard an interesting d'var torah this Shabbos. There is always a remembrance done to commenerate a past galus. The holidays of pesach, shavuot and succot remind of of the going out of Eygpt. The Hebrew names of the months are Babylonian names to remind us of the babylonian exile. The question was asked of the Chasam Sofer what will be the reminder of this Gulus. ( everybody in Israel please sit down for this). He said- and I quote Rabbi Lauer- everyone will observe TWO days yom tov as a remembrance. So all you Israelites - dont make fun of our two days yom tov- we are just practicing for the meshiach.

  • Is it Jewish tradition to bring funny stories from the חת"ם סופר on כ"ב אד"ב? Also, where did that date come from?
