Tisha B'Av: The Whole World Cries (Ep. 337)

What’s said in this shiur

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

It is once again tishabove. It is once again tishabove where we are sitting on the ground and mourning the destruction of two bat mikdash. It is once again tishabove where we are sitting on the ground saying kinus for all of the pain and suffering of the Jewish people. Sometimes that pain and suffering is death and destruction. Sometimes that pain and suffering is exile and economic hardship. Sometimes that pain and suffering are Jews who have been kidnapped and put into slavery. As the in Kisavo ends, you'll be taken away in ships and sold as slaves and no one will even want to buy you because there are so many of you being sold. It could be that our lives are just totally offkilter and that we mourn on Tishab. It could be for the broken relationships, parents and children, husbands and wives, friends, neighbors, family in the piet that we say yam kipper where we say we're like clay in the hands of the potter who can form us uh press us back together into clay. We're like glass and the hand of the glazier. There's one part that always made an impression on me where he can either make the embroidery straight or not. Some interpret it as hanging. He can either hang the curtain straight or not. And I used to think about that. Some people worry about their lives being destroyed and made back into the mush that they came from. And sometimes we weren't put up straight. We weren't embroidered straight. There's just our life is offkilter.
