The Rebbe is Speaking Tonight

Rav Weinberger will be speaking tonight at Aish Kodesh after Maariv at 8:45. He is very, very inspiring and I would highly recommend attending if you want to feel what Tisha B'av is all about.

Rav Pinchas Korotzer explains that we really don’t appreciate the feelings we have for someone we love until we part from them. When we are with the ones we love, we take them for granted and are blinded to how much we depend and live just for them. Tisha B’av is that day when, (kvyachol) we parted with Hashem. Everyone has been through times in their lives when they felt spiritually on fire, totally connected and actually at peace with themselves. Then one day, we look at ourselves and ask what happened to me? Where have I been? Where am I now? I want to be back in that place of clarity and closeness! Tisha B’av is so holy because it reveals the utter yearning between G-d and his people to be back together once again. This is our chance.
