A Day for Peacemaking

The Bershider narrated this experience: He came once to a town on the 9th of Av. The townspeople informed him of a bitter quarrel between two factions, and asked him to act as peacemaker. "We suppose, however, " they said, "that you will not care to consider this matter on the 9th of Av."
"Quite the contrary," replied teh rabbi. "The destruction of the Temple was caused by unfounded hatred, according to the Talmud (Yoma 9). What can be more appropriate than to abolish unfounded hatred on this day?"

Day 124 – Parties at Odds
?
As rechilus is defined as any statement that may cause ill feelings between Jews, one might think that statements where ill feelings already exist would be excluded from this category. In fact, this is not the case. It is forbidden to strengthen existent animosity or even to remind someone of his negative feelings towards his fellow.

The Strength of His Worlds
?
Our above discussion is capsulated in a single verse cited above:
?
“Trust in Hashem forever, for in God, Hashem, is the strength of the worlds (Yeshayahu 26:4).”
?
“Trust in Hashem forever ...’’ Even after the Temple has been destroyed and the Jewish people finds itself in exile while the wicked prosper, nevertheless, trust in Hashem and He will help you, for His power is infinite and eternal.
?
All of creation continues to exist only by way of Hashem’s unceasing will that it be so, as the Sages? formulated in the morning prayer, “and in His goodness renews daily, perpetually, the work of Creation’’; and as Scripture states, “And You give them all life” (Nechemiah 9:6). Hashem’s involvement in this world is unchanging and He continues to watch over those who place their trust in Him. Therefore, the above verse concludes “for in God, Hashem, is the strength of the worlds.” Hashem created His worlds with the Name spelled with the letters yud heh; the upper world with the letter yud, and this world with the letter heh. His will, as represented by the letters of His Name, continues to be the “strength,” of His worlds.

Shalom.

Tisha B'Av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar because
of the incredible series of tragedies which occurred on that
date throughout Jewish History.

Tisha B'Av means "the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av".
Tisha B'Av primarily commemorates the destruction of the first
and second Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth
of Av - the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E.; the second
by the Romans in 70 C.E.

Although this day is primarily meant to commemorate the
destruction of the Temple, it is appropriate to consider on
this day the many other tragedies of the Jewish people, many
of which occurred on this day, most notably the expulsion of
the Jews from Spain in 1492.

This year 5783 - 2023 we observe the fast day of Tisha B'Av
starting from Wednesday after nightfall, July 26,
until nightfall on Thursday, July 27.

You can learn more about this Jewish fast day at:


May we see the rebuilding of the Temple in our days and that
Tisha B'Av becomes a day of celebration.

If you are fasting:
Have a meaningful fast.

Shavua Tov,

Hospitality and the Shechinah

Referring to the Talmudic saying that hospitality is greater than welcoming the Shechinah (Shabbath 127), a rabbi said: "Were this not so, a man could refuse hospitality on the pretext that the wayfarer may speak slander of some persons, thereby causing the departure of the Shechinah. Or, in the event a man's wife is opposed to the extra trouble of caring for passers-by, the husband could excuse himself for this failure not to welcome strangers in his home, inasmuch as the Divine Presence cannot abide where man and wife quarrel (Kiddushin 30). But since hospitality is greater, a man should practice it, even though his guests may be guilty of tale-bearing, and even if his wife may quarrel with him for his generosity."
