Moed Katan 009: Did Shlomo Hamelech hold of "Ein Me'arvin Simchah B'Simchah"?
alex lebovits asked:
If *Eyn M'arvin Simcha b'Simcha* (and the Gemorah states that we learn it out
from Sholomo Hamelech by Hanukas HAbayis); how could Shlomo have married Batya
the daughter of Pharaoh on the day of Chanukas Beis HAmikdash; as it says in
Rashi In Mishlei 31.1?!

The Kollel replies:
Alex, that is a sharp question.
(a) Rashi indeed mentions that Shlomo's wedding to Bas Par'oh coincided with
the day of the Chinuch of the Mikdash (Rashi to Mishlei 31:1, Tehilim 127:1,
Yirmeyah 32:31). His source is the Yalkut Shimoni to Mishlei there (2:963),
which cites from the Midrash in Vayikra Rabah 12:15 and Bamidbar Rabah 10:14.
From the Midrash it is clear that the wedding was the night that *preceded* the
Chinuch. (Bas Par'oh arranged for Shlomo to sleep late the following morning,
to Shlomo's great embarrassment, causing the Chinuch to be delayed.)
If so, Shlomo did not have to worry about Me'arvim Simchah b'Simchah, since the
wedding did not take place during the Chinuch but prior to it. (Chinuch begins
by day, since it is done through performing Avodah in the Mikdash with the
various Kelim, see Menachos 50a, and Avodah can only be performed by day.)
(b) Note that the Radak (Shmuel 1:3:1) has the radical opinion that Shlomo
never really married Bas Par'oh (he just loved her like a wife).
(c) Of course, Shlomo must have had a very good reason for choosing to marry
Bas Par'oh on the very day that he would make the Chinuch of his Great Mikdash.
Apparently, the two Simchos were related in his mind. Both were meant to
"marry" The World to Hashem, by joining Yisrael to Hashem through the Mikdash,
and the other nations to Hashem through their connection to Yisrael. (See
Mishnah, end of Taanis "B'Yom Simchas Libo...", and Yoma 54a about the Keruvim,
for example - there is much to discuss on this subject.) According to this
philosophy, it may be that both were a single Simchah, and there was no "Eruv
Simchah b'Simchah"!
Best wishes,
Mordecai Kornfeld
