Listen "Mourning and Reflection: The 17th of Tammuz"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what led to the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash? This episode presents an in-depth exploration of the three weeks of mourning, known as Bein Hametzarim. During our intimate reflection, we delve into the tragedies and the sins that led to such devastation. Drawing wisdom from the Mishnah in Mesachta Tannis, we examine the five calamities that befell the Jewish people on Shiva Asur B'Tammuz. From Rabbi Gladstein's insights to interpretations from the great Oruch L'neir- Yaakov Ettlinger, we trace these events as a sequence of the descent of a Jewish person or community. We underscore the importance of devotion to Torah study and shed light on the consequences of neglecting it. We explore the notion that our unity as a nation lies not in shared ideals or morals but in the Torah. Let's navigate this poignant period of remembrance together, focusing not just on what we've lost but also on the root cause of these losses and how we can seek to rectify them.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!
