Happy days are coming!

“The Nine Days“ culminating with Tisha-B’av, is when Jews around the world mourn the destruction of both temples in Jerusalem.

The Temple is the place where our loving Father In Heaven openly expressed his unconditional love for his beloved children. His eternal love for each and every Jew.

Adam was created from the earth where the alter stood in the Temple. There, Noach sacrificed his thanksgiving offerings after surviving the flood. There Abraham brought his son Issac to the Akeidah. Our father Jacob had his famous ladder dream there.

Although the destruction is a painful reality, Rabbi Akiva taught us to look deeper and celebrate the hidden good news within the tragedy of destruction. To hope and optimistically look forward to the imminent arrival of Moshiach. Eternal happiness.

Every part of the Temple corresponds to another part of our body. By perfecting our own spiritual “Temple” we transform, pain into pleasure. Tragedy into triumph.

Pain is part of birth. The destruction is part of the new construction. Challenges are a springboard to success. The Jew always has the resilience to come back, stronger and better.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev teaches that the Shabbos before Tisha-B׳Av, Shabbos Chazon, we each merit to have a vision of the third Temple. Light amidst the darkness. A taste of Moshiach.

May we internalize this powerful vision to inspire us to transform our life. With all the blessings and happiness of our loving Father in Heaven.

You have the power to access all the blessings. G-d loves you and is eagerly waiting to give you a royal life, as befitting for the only child of the King of Kings.

3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:

1) Love is sometimes expressed to a child via rebuke. When you look deeper, you see that G-d always loves the Jewish people. Even the destruction of the Temple is hidden love. Never despair. Our loving Father in Heaven is always with you.

2) The Shabbos of the Nine Days, is an opportunity to taste true happiness. To see the bright happy end, even while we are still in darkness. Being happy on Shabbos Chazon hastens the time of Moshiach, eternal happiness.

3) A princess in captivity yearns to reunite with her father the king. Every Jew is a princess. Our Divine soul is the beloved child of G-d. Prayer and Torah study allow your soul the opportunity to embrace her father. You and your soul will love the embrace. G-d is waiting to give you a hug.
