The primary restrictions of the day (no eating, drinking, bathing, oils/creams, or marital relations) begin at sunset on Shabbat (7:48 pm in Ra’anana). Regular meals with meat & wine may be eaten on Shabbat, including seuda shlisheit, which is the seuda mafseket before the fast. Leather shoes are removed 25 min. after sunset. Many daven early Mincha & return only after Shabbat w/non-leather shoes; or one may bring special shoes on Friday, or simply take off one's shoes at Barchu. We sit low to say Eicha; a candle is lit & the bracha of borei m'orei ha-aish is said. The Parochet is removed from the Aron. On Sunday, Talit & Tefilin are worn at Mincha rather than Shacharit; we say Kinot. Va'y'chal is read at Mincha and Nachem & Anenu are added to the Amida then. Havdala after the fast (8:07 pm) is said on wine only (no spices). Kiddush L’vana is customarily said on Sunday night after the Fast. Many hold that meat, wine, laundry & haircuts should be delayed until midday.

How to Prepare for the Fast: Fasting is not meant as an "affliction" or punishment; it is a form of teshuva, & allows us to concentrate on our spiritual, rather than physiological side on this day. To prepare properly, drink at least 8 full glasses of water on erev Tisha B'Av & avoid caffeinated beverages and salty foods such as lox, pickles or pretzels.

    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 80, "Torah" part i

    This is the first part of the chapter regarding the supreme importance of learning Torah, and why it is so central to Judaism. Anyone who feels a lack of motivation to learn should hear this class!

    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.

    Mishpatim

    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).

    "Beyond Either-Or"

    Rav Kook's Uniting the Opposites, Sinai & the Tefilin's Shi"n

    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.

    Yitro

    WHAT CONVINCED YITRO MAY SWAY THE ANTI-ISRAEL TOO

    We find that Yitro was convinced to follow the G-d of Israel for "Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the deities, for (precisely) with the thing that they plotted, [G-d brought] upon them(selves) (18, 11)." Rashi explains that the Egyptians drowned the boys of Israel, so in the end, G-d drowned their men as well. Why was this "Midah k'negged mida" (literally: "a measure for a measure)- so convincing for Yitro, even convincing him to actually change his life & join Israel? Similarly, this can help us understand why this theme of "V'Nahafoch hu…" (literally: "it was reversed", that the Megila flips everything Haman planned to do Israel, 180 degrees and brings upon Haman himself is so central also to Megilat Esther & the forthcoming holiday of Purim? We are not just speaking of irony, but of justice.

    The Moral Benefits of Agriculture- Tu B'Shvat

    The tanna R. Elazar writes that in the ideal world, all of us will participate in some form of agriculture, and that "a man without land is not a man". Aside from the mitzva of settling the Land of Israel, an overview of many quotes from R. Elazar will innovatively (but obviously) explain the many moral benefits (even in America!) of doing some gardening and having a deeper understanding of Tu B'Shvat.

    Orchot Tzaddikim- class 78, Teshuva part ix

    The class deals with especially interesting aspects of Teshuva (we're skipping and just doing the most interesting parts of the remainder of this chapter), including how G-d really helps us in this effort, and as opposed to man, He will accept us even if we have ulterior motives!
