Yes this a bit unconventional, but let’s go with it for a mere moment. Take a breather, lay back and close your eyes. Think of a remarkable accomplishment where you can truly give yourself a pat on the back. Now, reflect on just one small manner where you may want to improve. That’s it! Getting to this point means you are ready to step aboard CHAZAQ’s Finding Your Inner Power Summer Tour 5779 with Rabbi Yossi Bensoussan.
The Three Weeks begin this Sunday, July 21st on the Seventeen of Tammuz fast. The Bein HaMetzarim translated as between the straits refers to a the time where the Jewish nation is just that – lingering in peril. As a unity, we have the customs of maintaining a mourning period that commemorates the ultimate unfathomable destruction of both the first and second Bati Hamikdash; first by the Nevuchadnezzar II and later by the Romans.
To this end, the CHAZAQ organization listened to the persistent behest of Mrs. Daphne Zeruvabeli of Great Neck, NY and arranged a week of pure simplistic inspiration by a man of awesome stature, Rabbi Yossi Bensoussan.
