Reply To: SYMS Thanksgiving BASH Begins Nov. 20th

smartcookie, I’l try to find the Rashi for you. I think its in Bereishis.

From the best of my memory (translated):

”It is a chiyuv mdaraisa for all Yidden in galus to be Oleh Regel to Syms twice a year. This chiyuv is fulfilled during the Bash. When the 3rd Beis Hamikdash is built, this chiyuv will no longer apply, and to Yerushalayim shall we go.”
