מסופר בגמ' (גיטין נו) שלאחרי שראה שאת הגזירה מלמעלה ש"הלבנון [ביהמ"ק] באדיר יפול" לא תתבטל, ביקש ר' יוחנן בן זכאי מאספסינוס "תן לי יבנה וחכמי'" – כ"תחליף" לביהמ"ק, וכמאחז"ל "משחרב ביהמ"ק אין לו להקב"ה אלא ד' אמות של הלכה", ויתירה מזו – זה מזרז את בנין ביהמ"ק. ונמצא שעוד לפני החורבן בפועל, הסכים הצד-שכנגד לביטול החורבן. דהנה, אע"פ שצריך לזכור שכללות ענין הגלות הוא עונש וצרה ומצוקה שאין כמוה ואי"ז מעמד-ומצב טבעי לבנ"י ח"ו, וצ"ל תמיד במצב של "נתאוו . . [ל]ימות המשיח" כאשר כל ישראל "ישיגו דעת בוראם" – אבל לא מספיק לקונן על הגלות בלבד אלא צריך לעשות הכל כדי לבטל את חושך הגלות, ע"י לימוד התורה וקיום המצוות. החידוש של ר' יוחנן בן זכאי הי' שהקדים ה"רפואה" ל"מכה", ע"י שקיבל את "יבנה וחכמי'", ה"ד' אמות של הלכה".

Synopsis

The Gemara states (Gittin 56b) that after Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai saw that the heavenly decree that, “the Levanon [the Beis Hamikdash] will fall by a mighty one” was going to be fulfilled, he asked Vespasian, “Give me Yavne and its Sages,” as a substitute for the Beis Hamikdash, as our Sages said, “Since the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed, the Holy One, blessed be He, has only the four cubits of halachah.” Since “Yavne and its Sages” hasten the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash, it emerges that even before the actual destruction, the opposing side had already agreed to the undoing of the destruction. Although one must always remember that the whole concept of exile is a punishment and unparalleled suffering and distress, and certainly exile is not the natural state of the Jewish people chas v’shalom and one must constantly “yearnfor the days of Moshiach,” when the entire Jewish people will “attain knowledge of their Creator” – but it is not enough to merely lament the exile: one must do everything in their power to nullify the darkness of the exile by studying Torah and performing mitzvos. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai’s unique contribution was that he arranged the “remedy before the blow” by securing “Yavneh and its Sages,” the four cubits of halachah.
