are signed to)

tribes of Yisrael after their secession from the kingdom of the Davidic
dynasty (subsequently known as Yehudah), as recorded in Melachim I
11:26-12:20. Upon the death of Shlomo ha'Melech, Rechav'am, his son, took
the counsel of his young advisors to increase the high tax and hard labor
that Shlomo had instituted (Melachim I 12:14). As a result, the people
rebelled under the leadership of Yerav'am ben Nevat.
(b) In order to prevent the people of the ten tribes from returning to the
leadership of the Davidic kings, Yerav'am outlawed the Mitzvah of Aliyah
l'Regel, forbidding his people to travel to the Beis ha'Mikdash for Pesach,
Shavu'os and Sukos. Instead, he built two other "Temples," one in Beis El
and one in Dan, where golden calves were worshipped (ibid. I 12:28). He set
up guards on the roads leading to Yerushalayim to prevent anyone from
serving HaSh-m by going to the Beis ha'Mikdash.

(l) 3338 Churban of the First Beis ha'Mikdash and the Third Exile of Yehudah
17) [line 47] "HE'CHARASH VEHA'MASGER ELEF..." - "the Charash (craftsman)
and the Masger (those who guard and close the gates), one thousand [of
them]..." (Melachim II 24:16) - The Gemara interprets "Charash" and Masger"

Torah when the Jews were exiled to there.

evil upon Yisrael [850 years after they entered the land, which was] two
years before the intended time of "v'Noshantem" (the Gematriya of which is
