Shabbat begins the 9 Days leading up to Tisha B'Av. The operative principle at work during this period is, "When Av commences, joy is lessened" (Talmud Taanit). We decrease our involvement in business matters, building, recreational activities, etc. to lessen pleasure (& mark the cessation of our Korbanot in the Bet HaMikdash). All those over age 6 customarily abstain from meat, poultry, wine or grape juice, except on Shabbat or at a Seudat Mitzva (e.g. siyum, Brit, Pidyon HaBen, etc). Beer & whiskey, however is allowed. Food that is cooked in fleishig utensils may be eaten. We avoid purchasing or laundering clothes; or wearing freshly-laundered clothes, if possible (other than on Shabbat). Underwear, socks & young children's clothes MAY be laundered. Bathing for pleasure is not allowed; but we assume that bathing/showering today is for hygienic purposes & so it is permitted. Swimming, unless it is instructional, is avoided for those above Bar/Bat Mitzva age. Pleasure trips & gift-giving should also be avoided.

(Note that this is Ashkenazic custom; most Sefardim only observe these semi-mourning practices in the week when Tisha B'Av occurs, which doesn't happen this year at all, as 9 Av is on the first day of the week.)

    Orchot Tzaddikim class 81, "Torah" part ii

    The class deals with how G-d grants each generation to innovate and add to the eternal Torah. Even though today, we may not be as religious and spiritual as previous generations, G-d has granted us many "game-changers" to make Torah today that much more NEW, exciting and intellectually and emotionally appealing.

    Ein Aya

    Quality Over Quantity- Countless Ramifications

    As mankind matures (similar to the individual child), we all realize that it's generally a mistake to go after quantity, at the expense of quality. Children and primitve man thought that "bigger is better", but today's tiny computer chips and laser warfare teach man what Judaism always knew. Rav Kook explains this important idea with so many ramifications in life and Torah, via the letter Yud, which is the smallest letter, and rationally explains its Kabbalistic meanings and usage. The class is a great example of how Rav Kook harmonizes and combines rational philosophy and logical Kabbala.

    Ein Aya

    The Symbolism of the Dalet-Shaped Head-Tefilin's Knot

    Many have summarized Rav Kook's ideology as "Uniting the Opposites", and this classic class elaborates on the idea via the Shi"n on the Head-Tefilin and the concept of "Laws given orally to Moshe at Sinai". A very basic class in Rav Kook's thought.

    Orchot Tzaddikim class 79, Teshuva part x

    G-d doesn't hold a grudge, and even King Menashe, who served every pagan deity, and turned to G-d only as a last resort, was accepted! These inspiring examples stress that we can always do Teshuva, even when we have slipped back many times. The class also includes practical examples of how to improve, to finish off this extensive topic.

    REFINING 'PATIENCE' W/ KIDS WHO LEAVE 'DERECH'

    There's a common question today: how to deal with the unfortunate phenomena of children from religious homes who somewhat leave Torah. This innovative approach shows how to stay sane, not blame ourselves, and even turn that issue from being a major problem, into a G-d given opportunity to improve one of the 13 G-dly traits we are meant to emulate: Erech Apayim (Patience).
