Stories, Sayings, Wit & Wisdom on the Three Weeks, Eichah and Kinos

Includes full text of Eichah and select kinos with explanations from Hagaon Rav Yisroel Belsky zt”l

The Three Weeks, and especially Tishah B’Av itself, is a time of introspection, when Klal Yisrael as a whole tries to feel the pain of the Churban Beis Hamikdash and relate to it on a personal level. What better way to do this than with Torah Tavlin?

Over the years, the Torah Tavlin series has enhanced thousands of lives with its refreshing array of divrei Torah, meshalim, stories, and hashkafah thoughts, whether on the parshah, Yom Tov, or other Jewish topics. In Torah Tavlin on Tishah B’Av, readers will find a plethora of the vertlach, stories, meshalim, and more that are unique to Torah Tavlin, on Megillas Eichah and on select Tishah B’Av kinos, as well as on the Three Weeks in general.

Make the most of this special time period. Sad and heavy as they may feel, these weeks hold the potential for so much uplift and blessing, too — if we choose to use the days properly. With Torah Tavlin on Tishah B’Av providing a steady stream of inspiration, you will find yourself emerging from the Three Weeks feeling encouraged, stirred, and closer to Hashem.

And isn’t that something every Jew wants for himself?
