While the 9th of Av has historically been a tragic day for the Jewish people, we pray that it will ultimately become a day of joy when the Jewish people are reunited in Jerusalem.

In my new short film (13 minutes), I explore the origin and meaning of the 9th of Av. The film emphasizes the hope for the future that is born in the current era of a fruitful and flourishing Jewish state in the Land of Israel.



Along with a return to authentic Jewish spirituality and efforts to bring about Jewish unity, the embracing of the land of Israel in our lives is a major part of the rectification for the sin that lead to the 9th of Av being a day of mourning. Instead of rejecting the land as did generation of the spies in the desert, we must take up the historic opportunity of building a holy country in our homeland. The rebuilding of the Jewish Commonwealth is the most exciting project of the Jewish people in 2,000 years! Be a part of it!
