Tisha B'Av - Tears of Longing | Rabbi Nachum Binder

[Music] Tish above Tish is described by kazal as a y of be a night and a day of crying Rashi in tells us and the there's a time to cry Rashi says what is crying crying is an expression of the soul that comes out through the eyes just as the eyes are a vehicle and an organ which brings the outside into our soul the eyes are also the organ and the vehicle of bringing our soul out expressing our soul expressing those deep feelings the herg the emotions that are bottled up inside a person they are expressed through the ey of a person when he lets out those tears and Tish is a time for us to express our deepest emotions through our eyes kazal tell us that the reason one of the reasons why we have Tish is because that night when the morum came back CL is cried and the fear that they have to go to ER is and they were told I'm going to make for you a and the question is posed CLA Isel was scared to go into Israel CLA Isel felt they were unworthy to go into Isel Thea even tells us that CL Isel was scared because they felt that they did too many Aus and they won't have the protection of the what is so wrong about that why does that cause and Gus until msia comes and I think that the answer is in what kazal tell us it was a one has the unique opportunity to express the emotions of his soul one has an opportunity to let himself out there are two ways one can do that one can do that with feelings of sadness of depression of giving up I'm never going to make it it's never going to be good or one can do that with feelings of longing for closeness to the one can do that being I can get out of this I will get out of this I will become close and using those tears as a way to bring himself closer to the family all of us have worked on our eyes in the last year whatever it was there were ups and there were downs but our eyes are purer now than they were last tab when we're going to be sitting on the floor when we're going to be expressing the feelings of our soul through our eyes let those feelings not be feelings of sadness and despair and giving up but those feelings are feelings of closeness and longing for closeness of feelings of we want better we want to be better we want to be close to you we want to live in a world that's better and if we use our eyes to express the emotions of our soul in the proper way then those pure and Hal eyes will be the eyes that will be [Music]
