Rabbi Perr zt'l on Tisha B'av - The Shock of Eicha

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Parsha Podcast with Ari Goldwag’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Hey, let's begin to the process. The city was so full of people as it's now alone and desolate. It was robust and buoyant and robust and dynamic. And it was the princess of all the nations. O Jerusalem How did such a thing happen? I'm troubled by the fact that time could not be made up by the three shining Jerusalem was no longer the robust and dynamic city. It had already descended very much from its position that it held in the days of Solomon where it was a metropolis of the whole world. The the split between Judah and Israel had a tremendous effect. The avarice had led to ruin and ice after ruin, attacks after attack. The treasury of the base of the migdish had been looted. Much earlier the city was really in a terrible shape. It wasn't robust and dynamic. In fact Babylon was the robust and dynamic city. Babylon was considered one of the most wondrous cities in the world, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Nebuchadnezzar had built and hanging gardens, whatever that was. It was a wonder. It had waters and rivers that were just very lush, made a lush city out of it. It was unbelievably beautifully decorated. It was before they conquered Jerusalem, at the time they already were the capital of a great empire. Conquered by Christians, but never was conquered. So, what does it mean over here when it says Sarace Gondines? First blessing. Today I spoke about the word "eich". "Eich". So, the word is really "eich". But "eich" is reserved to express mourning. Mourning. Why is word "eich" chosen as the sharish
