“Nachamu Nachamu Ami y’amar Elokeichem.” After the churban, the Navi tells us that we should be consoled. But are we? 

We just completed an extended mourning period- the 3 weeks, the 9 days, and then the climax- Tisha b’Av. Churban, destruction, desolation, the seemingly unending Galus, filled with rivers of Jewish blood and unimaginable suffering, and now it's finally time to be consoled. So, how does it feel to be consoled? Let’s be honest, we aren’t. So, maybe we should just ask very simply- why aren’t we? What’s missing?

The answer will not only surprise you, but give you a path towards real nechama!

It will soon be Tisha b’Av, and many of us suffer from a silent, but heartbreaking problem- we can’t cry on this day of tears. As much as we want, and as much as we try, we are unable to cry for something as devastating and life-transforming as the churban. Why? Are we that cold and insensitive, that impervious to Jewish suffering?

The answer to this question and the solution may be quite different from what you thought!

This is the Introduction to the new podcast, "Yearning for Moshiach." Beyond the excitement and trepidation of living in "Ikvasa d'Moshiach," there is another dimension that must be explored. Are we to go about our daily lives and just wait until Hashem brings the Moshiach, or are we supposed to be doing something? Is there a specific Avodah during this z'man?

Join me on this journey as we explore this most auspicious time in history and discover how we can transform the experience to give Hashem nachas ruach!
