We are currently in the midst of a somber period of introspection called “The Three Weeks." During this time of year, we refrain from a variety of activities related to mourning and loss to help us focus on the meaning of this period of time, in which the Jewish people have experienced an inordinate number of tragedies and suffering.

From the 17th of Tammuz through the 9th/10th of Av (this year July 2nd – July 23rd), we customarily refrain from: weddings, parties, dancing, listening to lively music, haircuts/shaving and reciting the shehechiyanu blessing.

In addition to these customs, what proactive steps can we take to make this a meaningful experience? Please refer to the list of recommended films and books that Rabbi Landau has compiled to help people utilize this time period. https://bit.ly/3GZ4qWi
