When the flames rose to their highest, Moshiach was born. This is how the closing hours of Tisha B’Av are described. Ostensibly, the 9th of Av is the darkest day of the year. Chassidus however uncovers the soul of this day, revealing its enormous energy and how it contains the seeds to be the brightest day of the year. To better understand this powerful idea and tap into the final potent moments of Tisha B’Av, tune in this Sunday at 8-9pm EST to the live broadcast of MyLife Chassidus Applied with Rabbi Simon Jacobson. Discover how the paradox of the 9th of Av – and its aftermath – offers us the original and ultimate healing system; a 1947 year old time-tested system that teaches us how to grow through loss, build after destruction, and thrive despite any wound or trauma.

From the cause of the problem, says the Rebbe, we can learn the solution. The letter was written in English through the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel, and was made available by the latter’s son-in-law, Rabbi Sholom Ber Shapiro.
