and we're here now in the nine days leading up to tisha b'av this is a difficult time why is it a difficult time because we're made forcefully to feel the pain of the vitamin of the holy temple and the pain is reflected in all types of crazy things happening in your day with kids with spouses with money health appointments things not working health appointments things not working out just to make you feel like ashes to make you feel the ashes all this as a reflection of feeling the destruction of the temple it comes out more readily noticeable in these nine days leading up to tisha birth our attitude is to accept the feeling to relate to the feeling and to express the pain uh just a little story about this to i better understand what we're trying to better understand what we're trying to say there was a breast liver his name was of nakam shuster he was from poland we're talking about before world war one and he as a young man heard about rabin ahmad's teachings about going to human rosh hashanah so he traveled the border back then it was still before world war one so it was okay the borders were open he would travel he traveled from poland to ukraine getting to a there he learned about wrestling what it's about what they do getting up at midnight
