This class explores a verse in Lamentations (5:1): "Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Behold, and see our disgrace!". Different explanations are offered based on teachings of the Baal Shem Tov (founder of the Chassidic movement) and other chassidic discourses (by the fifth Rebbe of Chabad (1919) and by the Rebbe (1953)). This verse is connected to Tisha beAv, the ninth of Av.
