## Resource

  This past Shabbat we entered Shabbat Naḥamu , the Shabbat of Comfort, and with it began the seven weeks that lead us from the ashes of Tishah Be’Av toward the hope of Rosh HaShanah. Then, on Tuesday night and Wednesday, we celebrate Tu Be’Av , the fifteenth day of the Hebrew month of Av, a day that our Sages describe as one of the happiest days of the Jewish year. How can the Jewish calendar move so quickly from the deepest national mourning to one of its greatest celebrations? What changed in just a few days? In this morning’s class we explore a profound answer. Tu Be’Av is not a departure from Tishah Be’Av—it is its completion. The destruction of the Beit HaMikdash was not only our tragedy; it was, so to speak, HaShem’s. When our mourning matures from grieving what we lost to recognizing the pain caused to Avinu ShebaShamayim , consolation can begin. Drawing upon the Gemara, Midrash, and the timeless teachings passed down by my rabbis, we discover why Tu Be’Av stands alongside Yom Kippur as a day of joy, how true teshuvah is rooted in empathy for HaShem, and why the first steps toward rebuilding the Beit HaMikdash begin not with stones, but with repaired relationships—with HaShem and with one another.
