Break the Ax - Rabbi Morris Panitz
At first glance, Tu B’av, the Festival of Love, seems to be the Jewish equivalent of Valentine’s Day. But, a deeper look at the strange origins of this holiday reveals the transformative possibilities of this day. It all begins with an ax.

For Those Who Cannot Rise - Rabbi Deborah Silver
Tisha B'Av is the day we devote to contemplating destruction and ruin. How
should we observe it, this year, when we are already carrying so much
grief? And how can our tradition, and the story of one London

Lonely Sits the City - Rabbi Hannah Jensen
Right now we are in the period of the most concentrated grief in the Jewish calendar leading up to Tisha b'Av next week. This year, in Los Angeles, we are in an extended period of the same. From the fires through the ICE raids beginning last month, we have gotten no reprieve. What insight does our parsha lend us about how to live in this valley of grief and also let our grief be a catalyst for action?
