How We Can Sweeten the Judgments this Tisha B’Av

Posted on August 5, 2022October 11, 2022 By Simcha Gittel No Comments on How We Can Sweeten the Judgments this Tisha B’Av
How We Can Sweeten the Judgments this Tisha B’Av

BS”D On Tisha B’Av, we face two main, somewhat contradictory themes: aveilus (mourning) and teshuva (repentance). Though the ultimate goal of Tisha B’Av and the three weeks that proceed it is teshuva, the main focus on the ninth day of Av itself is aveilus over the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash. Throughout most of the day,…

Atzvus, Yeiush and the Three Weeks

BS”D The three weeks between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av is a period of constriction and introspection. It is a time when we collectively mourn over the destruction of the First and Second Temples and the devastating events that led up to it. It’s a time when we are also forced…

What are Segulos, and How Do They Work?

BS”D What are segulos? Are they something to be ignored– silly superstitions and old wives tales at best, or dangerous distractions from our connection to Hashem and Torah at worst? Do they work on their own? Do they possess mystical powers? Or are they meaningless practices that give people a false sense of security and…

Chanukah: Awakening the Pintele Yid

Posted on December 6, 2021February 20, 2022 By Simcha Gittel No Comments on Chanukah: Awakening the Pintele Yid
Chanukah: Awakening the Pintele Yid

BS”D I’ve mentioned here before that the main miracle of Chanukah was not the improbable victory over the Greeks, nor the discovery of the one flask of pure olive oil, nor even the fact that the light of the menorah lasted eight days.
