We were joined by the inimitable Dr. Yael Ziegler to start preparing for Tisha B'Av.
We talked about Dr. Ziegler's new book Lamentations: Faith in a Turbulent World, messages we can take into Tisha B'Av, and lessons of hope we can take out.
We spoke about how we can learn lessons from recent tragedies to not only grapple with the sadness of the day, but also give us a sense of the original hurbanot.
