How We Can Sweeten the Judgments this Tisha B’Av

Posted on August 5, 2022July 27, 2023 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…

Teshuva and the Power of Yearning

Posted on November 17, 2019December 24, 2019 By Simcha Gittel No Comments on Teshuva and the Power of Yearning
Teshuva and the Power of Yearning

BS”D One of the most basic and fundamental elements of teshuva is the yearning for change— the longing to break through the blocks, fears, doubts, and confusions that prevent us from reaching our spiritual potential. This sincere yearning alone is a very powerful thing. Don’t ever underestimate it. You may feel very far away from…
