IT ALL STARTED WITH A CRACK
Rabbi Marc Philippe
It all started with a crack. Before Tisha b’ Av, there was Shiva Asar b’ Tammuz. It all started with a crack in the wall. The crack expanded and darkness seeped through.
A breach was all that was needed to bring the unthinkable. Eichah, she sits in solitude.
On Shiva b’ October, it started with a crack in the wall. The crack expanded and darkness seeped through.
That breach was all that was needed to bring the unthinkable. Eichah, we sit in solitude.
After Shiva, some darkness is removed. A crack is formed to let light through to let love through to initiate healing.
What if instead of darkness light had come through the cracks on Shiva Asar b’ Tammuz?
