joseph- I did not “put words into your mouth”. Next time please be clearer in your writings. When you write “the churban” in the context of EZRA, why should anyone think you are talking about the churban bays sheni??? EZRA lived close to five hundred years BEFORE the churban bays sheni.
As far as ther Chassam Sofer, you brought down TWO quotations, and only ONE has a source.
