**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** On Purim morning, one should make an effort to wake up extra early and recite Tehilim. This is based on the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807), who writes in his "Devash L'fi" that there are five special days during the year that one should arise at "Hashkama"-extra early: Tisha B'ab, Shabuot, Rosh Hashana, Hoshana Rabba and Purim. He says that this is alluded to in the word "AVRaHaM" in the verse "Vayashkem AVRraHaM BaBoker"-Avraham arose early in the morning. The letter "Aleph" of Avraham, hints to "Echa" which is read on Tisha B'ab; the "Vet" refers to Shabuot on which the Torah was given, and the Torah begins with the letter "Bet;" the "Resh" refers to Rosh Hashana; the "Heh" alludes to Hoshana Rabbah; and the "Mem" hints to the Megillah of Purim. *** The special Tefila of "Al Hanisim" is inserted into the Amidah of Purim. If one forgot to do so, he does not have to go back and repeat the Amidah. Nevertheless, it is preferable to recite the "Al Hanisim" at the expense of prolonging his Amidah and missing the Kedusha with the Sibbur, than to skip it and finish earlier. *** The Torah reading for Purim is "VaYavo Amalek," in Parshat B'shalach. Since it only has nine verses, the accepted custom is to read the last verse twice to complete the requisite ten verses need for a public Torah reading. It is important for everyone to hear this Parasha. Those who missed hearing Parashat Zachor can fulfill the Misva with this reading, if they have intent to do so. The Kaf HaHaim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939, Ch. 693:25) writes that if someone cannot attend Bet Knesset on Purim day, he should read this passage by himself at home with the Ta'amim (cantillation). After reading the Torah, the Tefila continues with "Ashreh" and the beginning of "Uva Lesion." The Megillah is read before the Pasuk "V'atah Kadosh." In the morning, "Shehecheyanu" is not recited on the Megillah, according to the practice of the Sepharadim. The Sefer Torah is kept out until after the Megillah is read, because the Megillah states, "LaYehudim Hayta Orah V'simcha, V'saon V'y'kar"-the Jews had light and joy and happiness and glory. The Gemara understands that Orah (light) refers to the light of the Torah. One should not take off his Tefilin before the completion of the Megillah, because the same verse says that the Jews had "Y'kar"-glory. The Gemara understands that it is referring to Tefilin. In fact, the custom is to kiss the Tefilin when that word is read. If there is a Brit Mila, some say that it is performed prior to the Megillah reading to correspond to a word in that same Pasuk "Sason"-joy, which the Hachamim understand to be Brit Mila. However, the accepted practice is to conduct the Mila after Shaharit. *** There is no obligation to recite Hallel on Purim. One reason for this is that the reading of the Megillah, which tells the story of the miraculous events, takes the place of Hallel. Therefore, if one cannot hear the Megillah, there are Poskim who hold that he should recite the complete Hallel. This should be done without a Beracha, as there is a difference of opinion on the matter. After the Shir Shel Yom (Psalm of the Day), the Mizmor (Tehilim 22) "Al Ayelet Hashachar" is added. Esther was referred to as "Ayelet Hashachar," and this was the prayer she offered upon approaching the King's private chamber. *** It is prohibited to eat even a small amount before hearing the Megillah on Purim morning, even if one has already prayed. Therefore, one should insure that his wife and children hear the Megillah promptly, so that they can eat. *** Immediately after Shaharit, the Matanot LaEvyonim are distributed. Performing this Misva early is not only a fulfillment of "Zerizim Makdimim L'Misvot," but it also enables the recipients to use the money to buy what they lack for the holiday. *** The Shulhan Aruch rules that the Beracha of Shehecheyanu is not recited before reading the Megillah in the morning. This applies even if one did not fulfill the Misva of Megillah the previous night. One should have in mind to include the other Misvot when he hears the Beracha at night. *** The Hida (Lev David, Ch. 30) brings a custom for both men and women to light two candles in honor of Mordechai and Esther on Purim. After lighting the candles, one should give Sedaka and offer heartfelt prayers and requests in their merit. There is a widespread custom to don costumes on Purim. The Hida mentions this specifically regarding the Seudah. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909, Ateret Tiferet) brings a custom for women to adorn themselves with their fanciest jewelry, even more than Shabbat and Yom Tov. This custom has its origins in the Kabbalah. This should only be done within the confines of her own home and not to go out publicly, so as not to breach the standards of modesty.

Ch.19 - Iyov's loneliness, the abandonment felt by those whose friends have left them just when they were needed most. My reading of the chapter is based on a powerful shiur of my teacher Rav Dr Yehuda Brandes. In his aloneness Iyov experiences that which others cannot relate to - ומבשרי אחזה אלוה - from my flesh I saw God. Today's chapter and the book will provide much material for the three weeks leading up to Tisha B'av.https://www.sefaria.org/Job.19?lang=bi

We have to fast? Again? Yep. For another 25 hours, Jews are told to fast for what is considered the saddest day in the Jewish calendar. Tisha B'Av is a holiday some know very fondly while others have never heard of. It commemorates the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples along with other exceptionally tragic moments in Jewish history. What is the meaning of this? What did we do to deserve this? Why does this keep happening? Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser, known for his comedic and unique style of speaking, jumps onto Bad Jew to explore the deeper ideas behind this portion of our history. Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, gets a crash course to the Jewish diaspora, the tragedy that have struck our generations, and explores what we can do to change the outcome of the future (Moshiach!)

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Tal Schneider and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal are scheduled to resume in Qatar on Thursday, with US mediators touting the summit as possibly the final opportunity to release the hostages captured by Hamas on October 7, end the 10-month-long war in Gaza. Schneider tells us what we're hearing about how the negotiations could also avert the possibility of an all-out regional war with the involvement of Iran. The influential newspaper aligned with the United Torah Judaism political party Yated Ne'eman blasted National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for “endangering Jewish lives” by visiting Temple Mount on the solemn Jewish fast day of Tisha B'av and insisting that Jewish prayer was permitted at the site, in direct contradiction to the status quo upheld by the Israeli government. Sharon weighs in on the ideology guiding Ben Gvir and then Schneider discusses the political fallout. Schneider brings a report about a petition to the High Court that was brought by dozens of parents of IDF fighters who have been in battle for most of the 313 days of the war against Hamas. They claim that the IDF has no regulations in place to handle this long-term situation and as a result, their children are being denied really basic things, such as basic hygiene or the right to even take their boots off for over 80 days. What do the parents hope to accomplish? For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

Song: Akiva Nichamtanu Sung by Baruch Levine Inspiration by Baruch Levine   As we stand here right after Tisha B'av, we can't help but wonder if this will actually be the last Tisha B'av. Every year we yearn and try to better ourselves with the hope that Hashem will bring us out of this galus, but then Tisha B'av comes again and we're left asking ourselves "What now?!"  But just as quickly as the fast ends, a new hope arises with the famous words "Nachamu Nachamu Ami". What is this nechama, this consolation?  Baruch Levine takes us into the well known gemara with Rabbi Akiva and the famous words "Akiva Nichamtanu! Akiva Nichamtanu!" through his beautiful song. May this year actually be the last Tisha B'av we ever have to mourn, and may the redemption turn this day of sorrow into a day of great celebration.   No Internet? No smartphone? No problem!

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian and reporter Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi held an assessment and approved battle plans for “the various fronts,” the military said yesterday, as the country braced for an attack from Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah. How is the IDF ramping up its preparations for "peak alertness"? The military wing of Hamas on Monday said that members of the terror group assigned to guard Israeli hostages killed a male captive and seriously wounded another two female hostages. The Israel Defense Forces said it could neither confirm nor deny the claim. Fabian tells us what little we know. The United Nations Security Council is set to meet today to discuss Gaza in the wake of this weekend's Israeli airstrike on what it says was a terror HQ inside a school that was being used as a shelter. Fabian updates with new numbers of terrorists killed during Saturday's strike. In a petition filed Sunday to the Tel Aviv District Court, 14 Tel Aviv residents and the Rosh Yehudi group accused the municipality of facilitating sex-segregated prayers on public grounds by Muslims on their holidays, while preventing similar activities by Jews on Yom Kippur and beyond. Lidor gives background to this tinderbox issue. Today is the annual Jewish day of mourning, Tisha B'Av. Lidor notes a sad new addition to the lamentations traditionally recited today. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: IDF on ‘peak alert' for Iran, Hezbollah attacks; US expects it may happen this week IDF chief approves multi-front battle plans as Israel girds for Iran, Hezbollah attack Hamas says its guards killed a hostage, wounded two others; IDF investigating claim IDF names another 12 Hamas, Islamic Jihad terrorists killed in Gaza school strike Sidelined by war, fight over gender-segregated prayer in Tel Aviv resumes in court October 7 trauma reconnects Israelis with a 2,000-year-old Jewish day of mourning Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes in Parashat Debarim (listen to audio recording for precise citation) that one should make a special effort to recite Birkat Ha'lebana on Mosa'eh Tisha B'Ab with joy. Birkat Ha'lebana should always be recited joyfully, but this is especially important on Mosa'eh Tisha B'Ab. In particular, one should recite the verse of "David Melech Yisrael" with special feelings of joy, as this verse relates to the theme of Ge'ula (redemption), which of course should be at the forefront of our minds as we leave Tisha B'Ab. A number of Halachic authorities raise the question of whether Birkat Ha'lebana may be recited with non-leather shoes. This recitation involves the greeting of the Shechina, and it should therefore be recited with fine clothing. Perhaps, then, it should be preferable to first return home and change into ordinary shoes before reciting this Beracha. However, the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) writes (426:11) that if the congregation will be reciting Birkat Ha'lebana together after Arbit, it is preferable to recite Birkat He'lebana with the congregation, "Be'rob Am" (with a large crowd), even in non-leather shoes. But if, for whatever reason, one will be reciting Birkat Ha'lebana privately, and not with a Minyan, then he should first put on his leather shoes before reciting the Beracha. Another issue is whether one should first break the fast before reciting Birkat Ha'lebana, so that he will be able to recite it with joy. The Hesed La'alafim (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1786-1827) writes that it is indeed proper to eat something before reciting Birkat Ha'lebana on Mosa'eh Tisha Bab. However, the consensus among the Halachic authorities is that it is preferable to recite Birkat Ha'lebana with the congregation without eating, than to return home, eat and recite the Beracha privately. But if one will in any event be reciting Birkat Ha'lebana privately, then he should eat something before reciting the Beracha. Summary: It is customary to recite Birkat Ha'lebana immediately after Tisha B'Ab, and it should be recited joyfully. If, for whatever reason, one will be reciting Birkat Ha'lebana on Mosa'eh Tisha B'Ab privately, then he should first break his fast and put on ordinary shoes. Preferably, though, Birkat Ha'lebana should be recited together with the congregation, even with non-leather shoes and even if this requires reciting the Beracha before breaking the fast.

Why would a day of mourning also be considered a festival? Join us on the Jewish Inspiration Podcast as we explore the enigmatic nature of Tisha B'Av, a day deeply rooted in sorrow yet embraced as an opportunity for spiritual growth. We reflect on the significance of the Temple's destruction and the profound sense of loss it represents. Despite this absence, our prayers, especially those on Shabbat, continue to resonate with a yearning for closeness and clarity with the Almighty.We also tackle the emotional aftermath of the tragic events on October 7th, drawing lessons from the mourning rituals of Tisha B'Av. Explore how sadness can be a powerful catalyst for transformation and a renewed commitment to Jewish observance. From Shabbat candles to the hope for the coming of Mashiach, we emphasize the importance of building an inner temple within ourselves, guiding us towards divine redemption. Join us for a thought-provoking and heartwarming episode that seeks to inspire and elevate our spiritual journey._____________Recorded from a live audience presentation in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) in Houston, Texas on August 4, 2024.Released as Podcast on August 13, 2024_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Against the backdrop of a possible Iran/Hezbollah attack, as well as international criticism of an IDF operation in Gaza City, there have been new developments in the hostage negotiations. This past Thursday, a multi-party statement was issued by the U.S., Egypt and Qatar, declaring that the framework of a hostage deal was nearly complete, and urging Israel and Hamas to finalize the deal without further delay. Soon after, Prime Minister Netanyahu's office issued a statement that Israel would send its team to the now scheduled August 15th negotiations. Hamas had indicated its intention to participate as well. Now, suddenly, Hamas is reversing its decision. Although, at least according to some sources, this reversal may be last minute posturing by Hamas. Either way, the sudden acceleration of the process does make this dynamic seem different from previous rounds. To discuss all of these issues, we are joined by Call me Back regulars: -Nadav Eyal is a columnist for Yediot. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news. -Haviv Rettig Gur has been a regular presence on this podcast since October 8.

One of the prohibitions that apply on Tisha B'Ab is "Sicha," which means rubbing oil on one's skin. The modern-day application of this Halacha is the use of skin creams, which is meant to make one's skin feel smoother and more comfortable. The use of skin creams is forbidden on Tisha B'Ab, as it violates the prohibition of "Sicha." However, Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998) ruled that one may use cream to treat infected, chapped or scraped skin. In such a case, the cream is applied not for pleasure, but rather to cure damaged skin, and treatment of this kind does not fall under the prohibition of "Sicha." It is forbidden to apply perfume on Tisha B'Ab, and it is also forbidden to smell perfume. In light of this Halacha, Hacham Ovadia Yosef was asked about the permissibility of using deodorant on Tisha B'Ab, which might appear to fall under the same category as perfume. However, Hacham Ovadia ruled that one may apply deodorant on Tisha B'Ab, for two reasons. Firstly, deodorant is used not for pleasure, but rather to eliminate odor, which is entirely permissible on Tisha B'Ab. Secondly, we must take into account the consideration of "Derech Eretz," basic dignity and refined conduct. It would certainly be unbecoming to walk around on Tisha B'Ab without applying deodorant, and this is another reason why it is permissible. This applies to both spray and stick deodorants. (Incidentally, it should be noted that stick deodorants may not be used on Shabbat, as by using a stick one changes the substance from one form to another. Thus, although spray deodorants are certainly permissible on Shabbat, one should not use a stick deodorant on Shabbat.) Summary: It is forbidden to apply skin cream on Tisha B'Ab, except for the purpose of healing chapped, infected or scraped skin. Deodorant may be used on Tisha B'Ab, but perfume is forbidden.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What does Tisha B'Av teach us today?    How does it empower us in difficult times?  What is its psychological application?  How do these days, and the general Jewish calendar, reflect the cycles of life?  Why are different prayers designated to different times of the year?  How do we explain Rabbi Akiva laughing when he saw destruction?  Is it appropriate for a family not to celebrate a child's birthday in the month of Av?  Is someone born during this time of year destined to negative experiences, G-d forbid?  Why do we fast?  When was Moshiach born?  What is the connection between the sin of the scouts and the destruction of the Temple?  What was the difference between the sins that caused the destruction of the first and second Temples?   Why was baseless hatred the primary cause for the Temple's destruction?  What can we do to increase unity?  Why does lashon hara affect the one spoken about?  How far are we from Moshiach's coming?  What is a practical example of shtus d'kedusha that we can do today that can tip the scales and bring Moshiach?  How are we comforted by this Shabbos?  Why do we need Shabbo Nachamu after we were already shown the Beis HaMikdash on Shabbos Chazon?  Why did Hashem allow Moshe to pray 515 times but not a 516th time?  What is the purpose of Sefer Devarim?  Can we still say that Israel is the safest place on earth?   Why don't you openly come out against the current democratic party?

Can we be honest for a minute? Of course we can, we're having a DMC! So let's get real about being honest about communal issues. In other words, we know our community isn't immune to its share of societal challenges, but is it possible to be sincere in acknowledging the issues while sincerely trying to improve them? And while we're being honest about the problems, how can we maintain emunah and positivity as we're face-to-face with those challenges? We discuss these questions and more with Keshet Starr, CEO Of ORA, the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. Keshet is an attorney, author, activist, speaker and nonprofit leader. She's one of those people in the trenches doing the work but has managed to maintain her sensitivity, sincerity and emunah. Keshet is a true role model in many ways.  In this DMC we discuss, How Keshet got into the work of agunah advocacy How we can be honest about real issues in the community while maintaining positivity and emunah The first steps in making changes once we've identified a problem Effective and ineffective methods of making change Keshet's opinion on grassroots efforts in the community How Orah has been successful in implementing change & what Keshet's learned Keshet's advice for those looking to improve an area in their community We love hearing from our listeners.

It is forbidden to bathe with hot water during the week of Tisha B'Ab, from the Shabbat preceding Tisha B'Ab through the day of Tisha B'Ab. This is one of several difficult Halachot that we observe during this period to commemorate the calamity of the Temple's destruction. It is permissible to bathe with cold water, and one may mix in some hot water in order to remove the chill. One may also use soap, shampoo and deodorant as usual during the week of Tisha B'Ab. A woman who needs to immerse in a Mikveh during the week of Tisha B'Ab may bathe with hot water as usual to prepare for her immersion. Bathing in preparation for the Mikveh is necessary for the purpose of a Misva, and is therefore permitted during the week of Tisha B'Ab. The accepted custom is to refrain from recreational swimming during the week of Tisha B'Ab. One who swims for health reasons is allowed to do so during this week. If one's hands became dirty during the week of Tisha B'Ab and he cannot remove the dirt without hot water, then he may use hot water for washing his hands. Otherwise, however, one should refrain from washing with hot water during this week. Summary: One may not bathe in hot water during the week of Tisha B'Ab, except in the case of a woman who must immerse in a Mikveh, or if hot water is needed to remove dirt from one's body. It is customary to also refrain from recreational swimming during this period.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas flies to Russia Monday to meet with Vladimir Putin. That's Tisha B'Av on the Hebrew calendar, the date of the destruction of the Temple of Solomon and the Second Temple—and it may be the day Iran attacks. 5) Abbas meeting in Moscow may coincide with Iranian attack on Israel; 4) Putin asks Iran to avoid civilian casualties when it finally attacks Israel; 3) Harris taps Tim Walz as running mate; 2) Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revokes proposed plea deal for alleged 9/11 mastermind; 1) Professor argues that being “super straight”—heterosexual and not attracted to transgendered people—is racist.

It has been a tense week as Klal Yisrael awaits a potential response from Iran, and we remain on edge as Tisha B'av approaches. Still, we can still get a sense of pride when Israel, a tiny little country with a tiny population, pulls ahead of tens of Arab countries in medal count! In addition to the Olympics coverage, we talk about the major news of the week including the Russian prisoner swap, Kamala's VP pick, chaos in Venezuela and RFK's dead bear fiasco.

In these difficult times, some may have a hard time finding hope. In this thought-provoking episode, Rabbi Feigelson discusses the value in not giving up and how to find inner strength and hope. He explores the themes of Tisha B'av and the Jewish people's history of spirituality and resilience. ~~~~   Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices for Every Day is a production of Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media, and the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.

On the 9th day of the Hebrew month of Av in the year 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian forces destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. Since then, Tisha b'Av has served as a day of commemorating Jewish tragedy, a day when Jews remember those killed for being Jews and recite kinnot, elegies recounting the sacrifice and suffering that is an inescapable part of the Jewish past. Tisha b'Av this year, taking place on August 12-13, will be the first since the October 7 attack on Israel, and its arrival raises a number of questions. To examine them, host Jonathan Silver is joined here in conversation by the rabbi J.J. Schacter, who for decades has led important Tisha b'Av services and has reflected deeply on questions of kinnot and memory as both a professional historian and a communal leader and teacher. (He recently delivered a free online video course on the meaning of Jewish memory accessible at memory.tikvahfund.org.) Together, they explore how the liturgy of Tisha b'Av might be expanded to address October 7, how rabbis decide to commemorate specific events with their own fast days and when are they instead subsumed under the rubric of Tisha b'Av, and what elegies Jews will sing this year and in the future to weave October 7 into the religious consciousness of the Jewish liturgy.

We've entered the Three Weeks, and the Jewish calendar instructs us to have mourning on our mind. Yet it can be challenging to embrace the meaning of mourning smack in the middle of summer barbeques and road trips. We knew that Sarah Rivkah Kohn, founder of Links Family, would help us find the meaning in mourning. Links Family is an organization that provides support to children and teens who have lost a parent. Through her own personal loss, and her work with Links, Sarah Rivkah has learned so much about the process and significance of mourning and how it can apply to all of us, even if we haven't lost a loved one.  On this DMC we discuss: How and why Sarah Rivkah founded Links Family What Sarah Rivkah has learned about mourning The various forms of loss  in the human experience How Sarah Rivkah's experience informs her understanding of the loss of the Beis Hamikdash How we can make Tisha Baav more meaningful in our lives We love hearing from our listeners.
