Mourning the Beit HaMikdash for Hashem’s Sake
Rabbi Ariel Mizrahi
Tisha B’Av invites us to look beyond our own pain and ask what the exile means for Hashem and for the Jewish people as a whole. This lesson explores the higher level of serving Hashem without seeking personal reward and learning to mourn the absence of the Beit HaMikdash simply because Hashem’s glory and His home are still incomplete.
