Post Tisha B'av

We have just mourned the loss of the closeness to Hashem and the clarity that came with it, which existed in the time of the Bais Hamikdash.

AHAVAS CHINAM: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Exactly what we are learning together in Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh, is precisely what I heard over five speakers discuss as the method to get us out of this galus and into the GEULAH!

Ideas ranged from saying kind words to others, not being judgmental of those who look different from us- rather loving them as the Yidden that they are!, to loving ourselves; facing the darkness within ourself and finding the light hidden within so that we can love ourselves unconditionally, (pure neshamos with holy nefashos to carry out (action) Hashem's will with the aid of Ruach/speech.  

Let's look  inside and ask;  
"where am i hurting myself, taking the easy way out, judging others to avoid seeing who i really am."

For the rest of Av, use some of the six minutes of speaking out loud to Hashem and ask Him to help you discover where you  don't feel unconditional love for yourself, others, and Him and ask for clarity on how to begin to feel this type of love. 

IyH by Elul, we will be ready, with plan in hand, to bring the geulah.

love (unconditionally please!!;) aviva rus
