7 Av 5767

What's your favorite ride at the amusement park?  Is it the carousel or the roller coaster?  The carousel goes round and round, it's not very exciting.  The roller coaster thrills, excites, and many times even takes your breath away.  Whether or not you like the roller coaster, these first nine days of Av are just that, a roller coaster of emotions.  Chances are you have had some difficulties this first week of the new month.  This is the time for introspection, to meditate and rely on the Light within.  On Tuesday, we observe Tisha B'Av, the most negative day of the entire year.  The Kabbalists tell us that we can handle the energy if we know how to connect.  The most basic and powerful connection we can make is to fast.  When we fast, we restrict our ego's desire to receive for itself alone.  The roller coaster ride is not over yet, make sure your seat belt is fastened, raise your hands in the air, and feel the energy and bless the Light for this experience which tells us we are alive.

Tisha B'Av is This Tuesday
The most negative day of the Kabbalistic year.  The Kabbalists tell us we should fast this day, sit on the floor or on chairs close to the floor to remind us we are in this world of Malchut, and scan or hear the reading from the Book of Lamentations.  Click Here to download the PDF file of the Book of Lamentations for scanning.
