Three Weeks of Mourning and Tishah B’Av

Dear Friends:

Reb Zalman called last week to remind us of some pieces he’s written for where we’re at at this time in the Jewish Calendar.

[NOTE:  These pieces were published previously, so please be aware that correct dates for this year are:  Rosh Chodesh Av, Sunday night July 31, 2011 and Tishah B’Av, Monday night, August 8, 2011]

For Tisha B’av:  After the Hard Drive Crashed

Reb Zalman’s extension of computer paradigms as a way of understanding Jewish history.

Prayers for the Ninth of Av

You will find here, Reb Zalman’s recasting of the Tishah B’Av insert from the Siddur, something you may want to add for your prayers of the day.

Ahron Hakohen, Alav HaShalom

We read in yesterday’s Parshah how Ahron the High Priest died on the first day of the fifth month which is Rosh Chodesh Av, which begins tonight, July 31, 2011.  Here, Reb Zalman gives us his view on Ahron’s legacy.

B’Shalom

    ANYTHING LESS THAN A LOVING THOUGHT IS TOXIC!

    FILL YOUR VESSEL WITH: LOVE, PEACE, LIGHT & JOY!

    WHEN THE VESSEL IS FULL WHAT ROOM COULD POSSIBLY BE LEFT FOR ANTHING ELSE?

    BE HAPPY, LOVE, JOEL
