On this day of Tisha B'Av, I would like to share with you one of the teachings of our Sages, which can teach us much, not only about history and what happened, but also about us today, in 2016. There are contradictory things about the day of Tisha B'Av. We see that we have the day of Tisha B'Av. We see that we have entered a period of mourning, a three-week period called the Bened Sarim period, from the 17th of Amu until today, Tisha B'Av. On the other hand, Tisha B'Av is considered, or is referred to by Jews, as a day of mourning. When someone looks glum, we say, "Tell me, you look very sad on Tisha B'Av." We feel the grief; we don't even very sad on Tisha B'Av." We feel the grief; we don't even say hello, we barely speak to each other, so as not to utter words of joy or jokes. And yet, on the day of Tisha B'Av itself, we don't perform any rituals or make any supplications. The supplication passages in the Fila are removed, so it's true that on the evening of Tisha B'Av, and on the morning of Tisha B'Av, we have a kind of minag (custom) of mourning, a kind of mourning custom, and in kind of mourning custom, and in the afternoon we see that everything resumes the cycle and life begins again. So what does Tisha B'Av teach us? Is it a day of mourning? Is it a day when we should still rejoice? He wrote it like that, the same way he wrote for the month of Hadar. When we enter the month of Hadar, we should multiply our joy; when we enter
