2 Av 5768

The area of healing for the month of Av is our hearing. How often do we hear only what we want to hear? Our ego has biased hearing based on our opinions and likes or dislikes. If there is someone I don't particularly like or don't usually agree with, then when they speak I may not fully hear what they say or I may hear their words with prejudice. Hearing equals understanding. We can understand people better if we truly hear them. And if we can understand them better, then we can truly love our neighbor as ourself. Take this week to focus on your hearing. Practice listening fully to others, especially those you don't normally wish to listen to.

                      Shavua tov,

Y'mei Bin Ha-m'tzarim - The Three Weeks of Negativity.
Kabbalah teaches that from the 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av are the most negative weeks of the entire year. During this time, anger becomes commonplace. We know that anger is one of the causes of chaos and destruction. There are a few things we can do during this period:

  1. Fast from red meat, red meat connects us to the energy judgement which is flowing heavily at this time from the left column of the Tree of Life.
  2. Take walks and take deep breaths to allow ourselves to release stress.
  3. Use the daily meditation for these weeks, Click Here to download it.

On the 9th of Av, known as Tisha B'Av, we fast from food and drink, sit low to the ground, and listen to the reading of the M'gilah Eichah (Lamentations) during our Tisha B'Av connection on Saturday, August 9th at 11:00 PM EDT, Click Here to RSVP. For more information about this time, be sure to visit the K4A Forum.
