Days Of Mourning & Baseless Hatred

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Good evening. I'm glad to be here in the Seagate tonight. It's been probably 10 years since I've been here. I've been here before the big storm. What year was that? Just before and like maybe 2 years before. 4 years, yeah, 10 years. This year will be Aaron ben Leah, Michael ben Ashdar, Chaya bat Ada, Yosef ben Amalia, Shimrit Leah bat Orly. We are now in the 3 weeks of Ben Hametzarim. Between Shviei Tammuz and Tisha B'Av it's time of puranut. Meaning midat hadin bashamayim is switching to the highest level. Almost the highest. From Rosh Chodesh Av it goes even higher and then on Tisha B'Av is the highest for the entire year. You have to be blind or a fool, one of them, not to see the judgment of Hashem in every detail in life. For instance, as a child, as a teenager, we used to go down where I grew up, right next to the beach. I know you have a an ocean over here, but in in Israel the week of Tisha B'Av you couldn't walk five steps into the water. The water does not reach your knees and you're already in a life risk. It doesn't have to reach your nose to be in a life risk. You feel how the water is pulling you in so bad that you can't resist. And that's the highest cases of drowning, obviously, in these three weeks, especially in the week of Tisha B'Av. The lifeguard they don't check the water in that week. Automatically, no one is allowed to go in. Every year, the same story.
