Tu B'Av: After the Rupture: A Six-Step Path to Repairing Klal Yisrael

After a Tisha B’Av shmooze about making room for one another, a close friend asked the question that slogans about achdus often avoid: What do we do when the differences are real?In this shiur, delivered in NCSY Kollel, Rav Burg reads the six events of Tu B’Av not as disconnected moments in Jewish history, but as a carefully ordered map for repairing a relationship after it has been ruptured. The stages move from recovering a healthy sense of self and refusing to turn the other into a permanent villain, to calming the fear of another catastrophe, reopening blocked roads, making room for grief, and finally putting down the tools of repair so that we can begin creating together again.Tisha B’Av reveals what estrangement destroys. Tu B’Av teaches Klal Yisrael how to find its way back.
