Tisha B’Av - Too Much Bad Stuff!
A fter the Churban Bais HaMikdash, the Jewish people were so
distraught that many people refused to eat meat or drink
wine. They could not bear to eat meat or drink wine because
meat had formerly been brought on the altar, and wine had been poured
as libations.
"How can you eat bread since there are no longer any meal offerings?"
asked R. Yehoshua.
"In that case we will only eat fruit!" they replied.
"Fruits were also brought as bikurim." responded R. Yehoshua
"We will eat other fruits." they answered.
"How can drink water since it was poured on the altar?” asked R. Yehosh-
ua.
At this point they conceded. R. Yehoshua continued to explain:
"Not to mourn the Bais HaMikdash we cannot do, since Chazal enacted
decrees of mourning. To mourn too much we cannot do either because
we do not decree on the public things which they cannot live by. There-
fore let us adhere to what Chazal decreed. Since churban bayis no facet
of our life is unaffected and no happiness is complete. Even under the
Chupah we must mourn over Yerushalayim.”
HaShem yerachem.
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Cohen
Next class is Wednesday, Aug. 9th at Gordon’s!

ing."
If someone greets you, it is permitted to answer respectfully.
After midday one is allowed to give a brocho but still not allowed to greet.
