Make it Stop!: The Holy Temple Is Going Up in Flames!
The Jerusalem Talmud states: “If the Holy Temple is not rebuilt in your lifetime, it’s as though
it were destroyed in your lifetime.” The commentaries learn from this that the Temple’s destruction is an ongoing event. On Tisha B’av, we do not mourn events that occurred 1,900 years ago… The destruction of the Temple takes place every single day – and a Jew is expected to cry out for Redemption as if he has witnessed that destruction today!
