Comfort Ye, Comfort Ye: Opening Our Eyes to the Bigger Picture
What a difference a week can make! Last Shabbos was Shabbos Chazon, the height of the Three Week period of mourning. On Shabbos Chazon we read the third of the three Haftorah’s of rebuke, in which the prophet Yishayahu forewarns about the impending disaster that was about to befall the Jewish people as a result of their sins. Yet this Shabbos, only one week after Shabbos Chazon and a mere few of days after Tisha B’Av, the mood is drastically altered.

It’s Hard to Be a Mensch at a Crowded Kosher Supermarket on Thursday Night
It’s a challenge just to walk through the door of my kosher supermarket in Crown Heights on a Thursday night—someone’s kid is usually standing in the entrance, blocking me. Inside, the place is jammed with shoppers, all making their pre-Shabbos purchases. It takes a veritable pas-de-deux for two people pushing the store’s old, unwieldy shopping carts in opposite directions to pass each other in the aisle.
