Celebrating? Really?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Initially I wanted to title this posting \u201cHow to use Tisha B’Av\u201d or \u201cHow not to miss Tisha B’Av\u201d.\u00a0However those titles do not reflect the unique opportunity<\/strong> of that day!<\/p>\n

It is a mistake to \u201csuffer through\u201d the day and think that we did what is required of us on Tisha B’Av.<\/p>\n

Working through the roots of a problem.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To accomplish this jump we have to identify the reasons for the Destruction of our Holy Temple and our low spiritual state. Reasons that are most relevant to us now and here. When we rectify those flaws with Tefillah to the best of our ability.<\/p>\n
