The Mitzvah That Keeps the Jewish Heart Alive
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
Why do our actions matter so much, and what does the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash teach us about our spiritual responsibility? This powerful Tisha B’Av message explains that every mitzvah, word, and choice of a Jew has far-reaching spiritual significance. At the heart of it all is one essential principle: loving our fellow Jews and refusing to harbor hatred. If baseless hatred contributed to the destruction, rebuilding begins by restoring the heart of the Jewish people through unity, love, and responsibility for one another.
