Why have the Jewish people continued to cry over Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years? In this moving Tisha B’Av conversation, Rabbi Mordechai Becher explains that not all tears are the same. The tears of the spies were tears of confusion, hopelessness, and despair. But the tears we shed on Tisha B’Av are tears of sorrow mixed with faith, hope, and the certainty that the Jewish people are still alive. Tisha B'Av is a declaration that Jerusalem has not been forgotten and that redemption is a matter of time.
