Rabbi David Yosef
During the Three Weeks, we not only mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple but also remember the catastrophic fall of Beitar, where millions of Jews were killed according to some traditions. This powerful lesson explores the Talmud's teaching that Beitar's downfall was rooted in baseless hatred, as some celebrated the destruction of Jerusalem instead of mourning with their fellow Jews. Discover why unity, compassion, and praying for peace among the Jewish people are essential to healing the wounds of the past and building a stronger future.
