It’s a sad day…

This is the saddest Tisha B’Av I ever remember feeling.

I drove this morning with a friend into Jerusalem to a morning of speeches sponsored by Shearim, an all-woman’s learning program.

There were three talks, all were phenomenal.

They got me thinking about my own responsibility in the bringing of Moshiach, in thoughts, speech and action. We all have to take responsibility.

The news here is heavy, the mood here is heavy.
The whole country feels heavy.
I can only pray.

Pray and be more responsible.

And trust. Trust that there is more going on than I understand.
