Tu B'Av - Build Your Own Beis Hamikdash
Tu B'Av - Build Your Own Beis Hamikdash
Aug 19, 2024
4:41
It's no coincidence that Tu B'av follows shortly after Tisha B'av. After mourning the Beis Hamikdash we transition to one of the happiest days of the year. When a couple has peace and harmony in their house, they also have the Shechina there together with them. If we haven't been zoche to have the Beis Hamikash yet, we can have it in every home individually.

Aug 14, 2024
4:54
After Tisha Bav we have seven weeks of nechama as opposed to three weeks of פרעניות from Shivah Asar Btamuz till tisha Bav. Perhaps it is because we need to feel and commiserate with Shechina for that long and then we can accept HKB"H as our King on Rosh Hashanah.

Aug 12, 2024
4:40
Tisha Bav is not like mourning for a close relative who passes away. If that was the case, we should have ceased to mourn long ago. The mourning signifies that this is very different. We know that it will come to an end. The day will come that redemption will come.

Aug 2, 2024
4:02
The Torah goes out of its way to tell us every stop that was made on the way to Eretz Yisrael. Every stop had a purpose, had a reason. It wasn't for naught. So too, a person can have different stops along the way that they didn't to make. In the end though, it too, was for for a purpose.

One of the places Bnei Yisrael traveled to in the desert was Midbar Sinai. But the Torah here makes no mention of what took place there, unlike by other stops they had along the way. R Moshe Feinstein z'l approaches this in a practical way for us today.

Jul 26, 2024
4:50
Pinchas was immensely rewarded for his act. But he didn't take over as leader after Moshe Rabbeinu. That was Yehoshua. Perhaps that could be because when someone does such a cruel act he's viewed differently. He can't be seen as cruel and be a leader at the same time..
