Connecting to Tisha B'Av
Most of us walk into Tisha B'Av feeling far from a Beis HaMikdash we never saw. How do you mourn something you can't even picture? And why do the kinos of this one day weep over the Holocaust and so many other tragedies from across Jewish history? Rabbi Asaf Prisman sets out to close that distance. Along the way, a man whose temper is hurting his marriage, his children and his job begs a great rav for help, and the rav sends his gabbai into the next room with very strange orders. What the man admits afterward reaches into every frustrating moment of an ordinary day.
