In this twelfth episode of The Power of the Hebrew Months, I explore how the month of Av can help us live with experiences that seem impossible to reconcile. Av teaches us how to remain connected to Hashem when compassion feels hidden, how to stop treating painful emotions as proof of spiritual failure, and how to direct powerful traits like anger, ambition, intensity, and fear toward a higher purpose. By learning to hear the unity beneath judgment and mercy, mourning and consolation, and revelation and concealment, we gain a practical framework for staying faithful during uncertainty, recognizing hidden growth, and bringing the divided parts of ourselves into the service of Hashem.
