<div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p>The first Satmerer Rebbe, R’ Yoel Teitelbaum, writes the following thought in Vayo’el Moshe.</p>
<p>When Yaakov first meets Rachel, he is at a well with some shepherds, waiting for enough to come by to move the stone that protects the well. As she approaches, he asks the shepherds if all is well with his cousin Lavan, and they answer, “All peaceful, <em>vehinei Racheil bito ba’ah im hatzon</em> — and here is Racheil his daughter, coming with the flock.” (Bereishis 29:6)</p>
<p>A few lines later, “When he is still speaking to them, <em>veRacheil ba’ah im hatzon</em> — and Racheil came with the flock that belongs to her father.” (Ibid v 9)</p>
<p>Notice that one time “<em>ba’ah</em>” is used to mean that Racheil was on her way, the other that she had arrived already. Rashi clarifies with a grammatical point; it makes a difference which syllable gets the <em>trop</em> mark and stress. The first usage was “<em>ba’AH</em>“, with the stress on the second syllable, meaning “she is coming”. The second, “<em>BA’ah</em>” — “she came”.</p>
<p>Everyone assumes that the line said at the end of Yom Kippur and the Pesach Seder is “<em>Leshanah haBA’ah biYrushalayim</em> — The coming year in Jerusalem”. But the Satmar Rav said this is a mistake.</p>
<p>We voice this desire at the close of Yom Kippur, shortly after the year began on Rosh haShanah, and on Pesach, shortly after the beginning of the year of months, the beginning of Nissan. We say it when a year just arrived. The line should not be said with the stress as “<em>ba’AH</em>” but rather say “<em>BA’ah</em>” — We are speaking of the year that just came!</p>
<p><em>Leshanah haba’AH biYrushalayim habenuyah!</em><br />
May the year that just began be spent in a rebuilt Jerusalem!
