Everyone says Cheshvon is bitter — no yomim tovim, nothing to connect to Hashem. But Teves? There’s a fast day. A moment to pause, reflect, and draw close. It’s not about bitterness. It’s about connection. That’s why Teves isn’t Mar Teves. #hilleleisenberg

Everyone knows Maresman is the [music]
bitter month of the Jewish year. Why?
Because there are no yum. There's no
celebrations in it. There's [music] no
joy, just emptiness. But what about tes?
There's no yum in tes. So shouldn't tase
be a bitter month also? Shouldn't we
call it mares?
The answer is that it's not about the
lack of y. It's about the lack of
moments of connection to [music] hashem.
Nothing. No spark. Quiet.
There's a [music] fast day. There's a
chance, a powerful opportunity to
reflect, to connect, to grow. That's the
real difference. So don't mourn Tavves.
It's a chance to ignite your [music]
soul. Tavves isn't bitter. It's a chance
to pause and reflect and connect.
Has emptiness. Tavves has opportunity.
Don't waste it.
