RECORDING OF "You Wept Without Cause": The Intentional 9th Av Mindset
with Yael Unterman
Class description: When they heard the spies' evil report about the Promised Land, the people wept. God said, "You wept without cause, now weep for generations." And thus 9th Ave was set as a day of disaster for millennia. But why? And how can we take this frightening statement by God to a constructive and inspiring place?
This class is part of an ongoing weekly series of shiurim in memory of Dalia Hillman z'l.
