The Shema Podcast for the Perplexed

In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Rabbi Bucsko, who sheds light on the spiritual essence connected to the Jewish month of Av. Rabbi Bucsko guides us in reassessing our perception of Tisha B'Av, traditionally associated with mourning and sorrow, and helps us delve into a deeper understanding. He emphasizes that Av serves as a significant time for acknowledging the absence of God's presence in the world, a result of our own actions. This engaging discussion will make you see the importance of feeling the pain of being distant from Hashem, allowing us to connect with our souls and draw closer to Him. Listen in as we decode this complex concept and be ready to transform your perspective on forgiveness, and love.
