The Temple Offerings, Part VI
The month of Tammuz has been marked for the past two thousand years of Jewish history by weeping and mourning for the Holy Temple. Is our mourning constructive, ultimately empowering us to rise up from off the floor and rebuild the Holy Temple, as our sages originally intended it to be, or have we fallen into the tragedy trap of mourning for the sake of mourning? Rabbi Richman explores the ancient world’s celebration of the cult of weeping, and Torah’s age old battle against the victory of defeat.
Dedication: Dedicated in celebration of Benjamin and Kaitlin’s marriage. Mazal tov!
