If we are forbidden to learn Torah on Tisha B'Av, how do we survive the day?

Rav Shlomo Katz shares a spine-chilling story about Alexander Chassidim in Auschwitz to explain the concept of "meeting someone for the second time." We learn that while we cannot learn new texts on this day, we can engage in the "Torah of Longing" — remembering and reliving the holiness we once had.

Drawing on the Tiferet Shlomo (Radomsker Rebbe) and the Izhbitzer Rebbe, Rav Shlomo explains that Tisha B'Av gives us the unique opportunity to look at our closed books and dusty shelves and cry over what we are missing. 

This episode transforms the "non-learning" of the Ninth of Av into the deepest learning of all: realizing how much we love what we have lost.
