No one likes to be sad. We often try to avoid acknowledging sadness at all costs. But on the Jewish calendar, one day is reserved for the very purpose of remembering tragedy: Tisha B’Av, observed this past week. Destruction, expulsion, and persecution are recurring themes of this day. So why should we remember this day at all? Maybe it’s because these very tragedies can drive us closer to God! Learn how to grow spiritually through this day of sorrow in this week’s program, and enjoy a story from Apples of Gold.
