It is clear that there IS a way out of this galus.
Unconditional LOVE.
For HASHEM
He gives us everything, our breath, our moments of clarity, our feelings of connection and love of Him!(etc!!!) When you wake up in the morning, pause, reflect, and say thank you for this!
For YOURSELF
Your lower self and higher self are both part of your beautiful, holy, pure neshama (soul). This means that there is light to be found even in the things that seem off. Look deeper and elevate the part that looks dark. Trust me, there's a light even within the darkness.
For AM YISRAEL
What can I say? We are sisters and brothers. We are one.
How can we say that we are against one another, simply because we look different, or follow Torah with a different focus. As Rabbi Skaist of Ohr Naaveh said on Tisha B'Av "there's a reason we are in such a liberal galus." Use that liberal feeling to be liberal in love with your frum brothers and sisters!
Rebbetzin Heller clearly states that: "Irrational inborn love is inherited= the heritage of being a Jew."
We are born with this love inside of us. It is a part of us, as much as our soul is us! Why are we working so hard to conceal what is already there??
These days between Tisha B'Av through Tu B'Av, we can palpably feel the love of Hashem and the love that already exists and has always existed within our hearts. (As Rabbanit Yemima states yud plus av = 13, the same numerical value as AHAVA.)
The time is now.
Take a step, reveal a part of yourself, your love, that has always been there.
Please, let's show Hashem we are ready for receiving the geulah, and achieving the greatest comfort this Shabbos Nachamu.
B'AHAVA, aviva rus
- a magnificent shiur by Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi about the power of the 15th of Av.
