Month of Av

To close out the 5769 year, we are back to highlight world-class teachers and learning opportunities. The focus will continue to highlight the great teachers of Sinai Live and events in NYC. For the coming year, we are directing our attention to expanding the teaching on Sinai Live and also to promote other websites and organization that are offering world-class teaching. We are also working with the Jungreis Legacy Blog which will focus on the one-of-a-kind insights from Rebbetzin Jungreis. Hineni's impact is phenomenal in the Jewish community.It is all done with a limited staff. Here is an excerpt from Friday's post and is followed by Rebbetzin's Sinai Live video on the month of Av.

Month of Mourning, Month of Father
Every month has a message. It would seem that the message of the month of Av is suffering, fear, anti-semitism, and Jewish persecution. Rosh Chodesh Av is approaching and the feelings of fear throughout the Jewish Nation are tangible; from the heartbreaking situation in Israel, our Holy Land, to the rising Anti-Semitic attacks throughout the world.

The most memorable date this month is Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, on which we fast and mourn the destruction of both Holy Temples. This auspicious time period has been filled with tragic events throughout history; such as the Spanish Expulsion in 1492, pogroms, and the beginning of WWI.

These events took place centuries apart! Like everything else in our life, it is clearly a message from Hashem. What is this message that we have not internalized over the past 2,000 years? Watch Rebbetzin's compelling video below on the Month of Av.
