The Ninth of Av: Transforming Despair into Hope(25:20)
|
Rabbi Avraham Trugman joins Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel to talk about connecting to Tisha B'Av.
Rabbi Trugman, a member of the founding family of Moshav Meor Modiim and director of Ohr Chadash — a non-profit educational organization for exploring Judaism in a non-coercive atmosphere — explains how to connect to the “nine days” and the 9th of Av. He says that all the prophesies are coming true in the world right now: There is something in the air, a feeling of suffering, but anticipation. He points to the phenomenon of the eve of Tisha B’Av being sad, yet as soon as noon arrives the following day, there is a completely different energy — a hopeful mood about the coming of the Messiah.
