Welcome into the weekly parsha podcast. My name is Mahal Brook. Thanks for joining us. This week was a busy week. And it's always pleasing to be able to have this time etched out for us to come together and talk words of Torah. Words of musser, to get heated about something, to get passionate about something, to turn our brains on. This week we have in store something that does get us a little amped up. I'm excited about it. Wherever you are listening from, in a uh not so roundabout way, gives you a real chelek in our efforts to be marbitz Torah and bring kavod to shamayim. This week was a busy week because it's it's one of the weeks of the three weeks, a time that's marked in the Jewish calendar to mourn what we have lost in the falling of the political structure of Torah Judaism. The falling of the epicenter of the Torah world, the Beit Hamikdash. Tzion. We mourn for it. It's always a time period that comes out during the summer and a lot of effort during the summer and a lot of effort and introspection needs to be done and had in order to truly connect with this lofty concept that isn't tangible, isn't present. It's hard to know what we lost. So effort is needed. It's a busy week because it's bein hazmanim. The schedules are different. The kids come and go at different times. Yeshivas come and go at different times. Schools, seminaries come and go at different times. Some have off, some have on. One half, two halves. Things
