Listen "Purposeful Mourning "
Episode Synopsis
With Tisha B'av this week, Mendy and Eliezer discuss the differing observances of the day in their communities, and what the true purpose of the fasting and mourning is—a hope and prayer for a brighter time. Also included is a brief conversation about whether rabbis should take vacations. As always, we welcome our listeners' feedback.
