The Wisdom of Rabbi Block

My guests raise questions about how to deal with the ongoing war. We need to turn of the static if we are going to adjust to events around us. War is worse than Hell!

Turn down the noise around you and let me help you find serenity. The war between Israel and Hamas will be with us and we don’t have to promote violence and hate. We can keep our balance.

The war between Israel and Hamas has added to the events in the world pulling us further off center. We can find hope and we posses all the tools necessary. The war between Israel and Hamas will not destroy hope!

Tisha B’Av is the Jewish day of mourning. Judaism mourns the destruction of the First & Second Temples and all the other hateful events that have fallen on the Jewish people. This day also recognizes the evil that has befallen on all people. Evil Waits By The Door & Too often is Let in
