  How to make this Tisha B’Av the Last One Ever!

  Jul 22, 202616 min

  A special Tisha B'Av edition of Rabbi in the Hot Seat. This isn't the usual Q&A format, it's a raw, personal reflection on the pain of Jewish division and what the fast day is really mourning. From the meaning behind sinat chinam to a personal story about a father's shiva, a reform bar mitzvah and a painful encounter afterwards, this episode makes the case that redemption starts with understanding the Jews we disagree with most, not agreeing with them. Two practical steps, a story about starfish on a beach, and an honest admission of struggling to stay hopeful.00:00 Intro: A Special Tisha B'Av Edition 00:50 Why We Fast: The Real Hunger 02:02 The Root of Our Brokenness 03:05 Rabbi Akiva's Students and a Second Chance 04:04 A Dream: Protester, Soldier, Policeman, Kibbutznik Together 05:08 Fire and Water: Understanding Without Agreeing 06:27 A Father's Shiva in a Reform Synagogue 09:53 Returning for a Bar Mitzvah, and a Painful Comment 11:34 Loving Without Agreeing 12:27 Losing Hope, and Finding It Again 13:08 The Starfish on the Beach 14:18 Two Practical Steps 15:19 Closing MessageTo listen to Rabbi In The Hot Seat on your favorite podcast platform: https://pods.link/rabbiinthehotseat Subscribe and turn on post notifications so you don’t miss out on any wisdom!✡️ For more Jewish inspiration visit https://www.aish.com – the world's leading Judaism website.
