Rabbi Yehuda Lave

The Serenity Question

An effective question to ask yourself is, "If I were serene right now, what would I be like – specifically?"

If you were serene right now, how would you be breathing? If you were serene right now, how would your muscles feel? If you were serene right now, what would you be thinking? What would you be seeing?

 Love Yehuda Lave

What is Tisha B'av

Tisha B'Av: August 13-14, 2016


What is Tisha B'av

The saddest day on the Jewish calendar is the Ninth of Av, "Tisha b'Av," the date on which both our Holy Temples were destroyed, and exile, persecution and spiritual darkness began.

Tisha b'Av starts at sundown of the eighth of Av and lasts till the following nightfall. During this time-period we fast, eschew pleasurable activities and amenities, and lament the destruction of the Holy Temple and our nation's exile.

It is a tradition, however, that Tisha b'Av is also the birthday of our Redeemer. This symbolizes the idea that from the ashes of the destroyed temple will rise an incomparably magnificent edifice; exile will give birth to redemption. Thus Tisha b'Av is also a day of anticipation and hope, for "One who mourns Jerusalem will merit seeing her happiness."
