| Tisha B'Av in the Eyes of the Prophets |
# BA 533 |
| by
Berger, Rabbi Motty |
 |
| If you were given a warning that a tragic event would take place unless you changed your behavior, would you? The Jews were warned time and again to change, or the Temple would be destroyed. Were there other reasons for them not to heed the warning from their bonafide prophets? |

| Mourning the Churban: Emunas Chachomim |
# BB 532 |
| by
Birnbaum, Rebbitzen Blimi |
 |
| Our travel in the desert was predicated on carefully following our leader Moshe. Rebbitzen Birnbaum explains how easily our minds get led astray, and how sorely we depend on our Torah and Rabbanim to keep us on track. So how does this precept of believing in the wise come to teach us about the Churban? |

| 17th Of Tammuz & Laws of the 3 Weeks |
# BY 532 |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| The 17th of Tammuz portended tragedy long before Jerusalem's walls were actually breached. On the same date, Moshe broke the tablets when he saw the horrors of the golden calf. What secret thread can help us understand what happened back then, since then, and what we are still struggling with today? Hear a powerful message on relating to your Judaism, and building a stronger bond with God. |

Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| We don't cry over spilled milk. So how come we still shed buckets of tears over tragedies that happened thousands of years ago? Join Rabbi Berkovits to hear what we should be focusing on that day, and how Tisha B'Av naturally prepares one for Elul and the Days of Awe. |

| Mourning & Teshuva: Halachos of the 9th of Av |
# BY 717 B |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| The 9th of Av isn't a strange day when we seem to be told to cry over spilled milk. It's actually the one time during the Jewish year that we stare facts in the eye, and acknowledge that there are consequences for our actions. To shrug and say - Oh, G-d understands that I sinned, and assume that He'll ignore it is a dangerous track to take. How does this deeper thread tie into fasting and the other laws of the day? |

| 9th of Av: Feeling a Sense of Loss |
# BY 717 C |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| We spend the 9th of Av fasting, as we mourn for our Temples that were razed to the ground on that day. How does abstaining from food and drink help us realize how very helpless we are? And how does that understanding help us find our way back to the purpose for our creation, and rectifying what caused the destruction? |

| Tisha B'Av - The Call of the Wall |
# FE 533 |
| by
Feiner, Rabbi Eytan |
 |
| We are so distant from our glorious past and from our closeness to HaShem that it's hard to know what we have lost, or to feel the pain of that tragic day. However, the lonely Kotel still stands its solitary guard at the site of the 3rd Temple. Rabbi Feiner's fervent shiur stirs up a desire to hasten the Redemption, and awakens a new resolve to move beyond our humdrum existence. |

| 17th of Tammuz: Why We Fast |
# HT 531 |
| by
Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |
 |
| To grasp why we still fast on the 17th of Tammuz, a closer look at the destruction of our two Batei Mikdash is needed. Rebbitzen Heller explains the ties that connect seemingly disparate causes such as: not keeping Shmittah, baseless hatred, and not saying the blessings over the Torah. She also explains how we can merit to see the house of God's presence rebuilt in our days. |

# HT 532 A |

Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |

| Rebbitzen Heller analyzes a Maharal that discusses the causes of exile and the seeds of redemption. Could it possibly be that we don't really feel galus, and are just comfortable living our life - at a fair distance from God? Learn how to overcome our magnetic attraction to the physical, and regain some of the soul's thirst for eternal life.

| Days Marked For Tragedy: The 3 Weeks |
# HT 532 B |
| by
Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |
 |
| The 17th of Tamuz, marking the start of the 3 Weeks had four tragic events occuring on it. The same is true of Tisha B'Av. Could it be that these days of the calendar are earmarked for sadness and misfortune? And if so, is there a connection between the events of one day to the other?

# HT 533 |
| by
Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |
 |
| The secret to understanding the destruction of our Holy Temple is in the story of Kamtza and Bar-Kamtza, but it goes far deeper than a simple tale of dislike. What did these men stand for, and how do they portray the negativity and stinginess we often find coloring our interaction with others? And what do we need to do to fight our own tendencies to bring the redemption? |

Rebbtizen Heller's discussion is both far-ranging and specific as she defines exile and the darkness it embodies. Hear the four cloaks it has worn through history, and how to reach the light despite the heavy darkness.

Juravel, Mrs. Chana |

| The 3 Weeks: Renewal from the Churban |
# KJ 532 |
| by
Krohn, Rabbi Paysach |
 |
| Just as each letter of a sefer Torah scroll has a role to play in teaching us how to live better, each individual has a particular role to play in the world's completion. Extending this parallel, can we then compare one who is not fulfilling his potential to a faulty letter which invalidates the entire sefer Torah? Rabbi Krohn's energetic address at Aish HaTorah was a refreshing wake up call during this three week period of collective reevaluation. |

| Tisha B'Av |
# KL 533 |
| by
Kelemen, Rabbi Leib |
 |
| Rabbi Kelemen probes into the reason for the destruction of the Second Temple - unnecessary hurt. He approaches the issue from a standpoint of whether we perceive the world from a two, or three dimensional perspective - which can create a wide gap in the way one relates to the world in general, and to God in specific. Using deeply moving stories and refreshing insights, Rabbi Kelemen has a beautiful way of describing how viewing the world from this third dimension puts everything into a more unified perspective. |

Rabbi Orlowek speaks on how feeling a connection with others can lead to a deeper feeling of Hashem loving care and protection for us.

On this date every year Hashem hides His face, to wear a mask of destruction. However, there is also a crack to see Him underneath it all. Hear what to look for. |

Rabbi Tauber paints a picture of how Hashem affects us � and how we affect Him, so to speak. On this day Hashem places the relationship squarely in our hands, to evoke the day as more beautiful than it is heartbreaking.

Which single aspect of Hashem's relationship can we reach for Hashem - whether it's the highs, or the ravages of pain and suffering we sometimes deserve?

Rabbi Wagensberg draws fascinating parallels, as only he can, of our innate tendency to see evil in place of good and how this trait has brought tragedy in its footsteps throughout our history.

Rav Yaakov brilliantly compares these decisions to the decisions of pre-war European rabbis who kept their followers in Europe despite the Nazi threat.
