Learning with Reb Shlomo (63): Tisha B’Av & The Inner Light of Destruction

How can a day of total destruction be the source of our greatest healing?In this soul-stirring shiur, Rav Lebisih Hundert of Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo (Jerusalem) explores the teachings of Reb Shlomo Carlebach on the inner dimensions of Tisha B’Av. Moving through the profound "Feeling the Pain of Destruction," Rav Lebisih dives into the paradox of the Holy Temple: why it is considered "completely rebuilt" even in its ruined state, and why the future Temple will forever contain its own brokenness.In this episode, we explore:The Mystery of the Kruvim (Cherubim): What the "moment of saying goodbye" in the Holy of Holies teaches us about our relationship with the Infinite.Comforting the Father: A radical look at the Radomsker Rebbe’s teaching on the son who forgets his own pain to console his grieving Father (God).The Torn Page: The powerful story of the Bobover Rebbe finding a single page of Gemara in a Nazi general's trash, and what it means to treasure "broken Torah."The Secret of the Letter Tet: How the shape of the number 9 reveals a hidden opening toward Heaven, even when we feel entirely closed off.Shlomo Molcho & Mashiach: The haunting and heroic story of the monk who returned to his roots and the "birth" of redemption within the fire of Tisha B'Av.Whether you are preparing for the fast or seeking to understand the "holiness of the broken heart," this teaching offers a roadmap for turning our deepest national and personal sorrows into a vessel for light.About this Series:This shiur is part of a series exploring the deep Chassidic and Kabbalistic insights of Reb Shlomo Carlebach, as taught at Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo in the heart of Yerushalayim.Follow & Subscribe to stay updated on new teachings from Rav Lebisih Hundert.Tisha B'Av, Shlomo Carlebach, Chassidut, Jewish Spirituality, Jerusalem, Simchat Shlomo, Rav Lebisih Hundert, Kabbalah, Mashiach, Inner Dimensions, The Three Weeks, Jewish History.Recorded July 5, 2026.
