Thoughts From the
Lubavitcher Rebbe
The Month of Av
By Rabbi Yossi Groner
The ninth day of the month
of Av, Ti’sha B’av, is the sad
dest day of the year. On this
day we come to the climax of
our mourning of the destruc
tion of both the first and se
cond Holy Temples in
Jerusalem. It comes after
three weeks of mourning
beginning with the 17th day of
the month of Tammuz. We
reflect on our present situation
in exile and we express our
yearn and desire to return to
Israel and be united with all of
Jewry.
The 15th day of the month,
which comes less than a week
after Ti’sha B’av, is one of the
happiest holidays on the
Jewish csdendar. The Talmud
teaches us that this day was
reserved for match-making in
Jerussdem. It was customary
for Jewish girls to dress in
white and make their way to
the fields where they would
form a circle and were greeted
by young Jewish men. There
was a lot of rejoicing and
happiness.
These two days express op
posite feelings. First, we have
intense mourning and sadness,
we remember the destruction,
the killing, the expulsion.
Following this is a day of joy
and happiness; one of the
greatest holidays.
Maimonides explains in his
great work “Yad
Hachazakeih”: The inner inten
tion of a fast day is to reflect
and return to G-d. When we
return properly we cause the
sadness to be transformed to
a joyous day a ‘Yom Tov’. As
with all fast days, so it is with
Ti’sha B’av, that it will be
changed to a holiday.
Since Ti’sha B’av is the sad
dest day of the year, one may
despair when he reflects on the
heirdship of the exile. Judaism
says: “Don’t give up”. Not
even one week goes by and we
have the greatest Jewish holi
day. On this day the Jews
were forgiven. While they were
wandering in the desert they
died for forty years, and on
this day the dying ended euid
they were ready to enter the
land of Israel.
The 15th of Av is the full
moon of this month; this is a
sign of completion and
wholeness. It is customary in
Jewish communities through
out the world to increase in the
study of Torah beginning with
the 15th of Av.
