When you leave everything in G-d's hands you will see G-d's hands in everything.

The Month of Av and the War with Iran

Miracles can happen on Tisha b'Av, according to this short video Why Now? The Month of Av and the War with Iran, which is in Hebrew, but for me it was auto-dubbed into English.  

Iran is the head of the snake, Hashem is performing miracles for us in the 9 days.   With the help of Hashem we hope to see a great miracle on Tisha b'Av.   It is recommended to attack on this day for this reason.  

IY"H Tisha b'Av will no longer be a bad day for the people of Israel  - these are days that,  with the help of Hashem, will turn into joy and gladness.  We need to hold on to the name of Hashem and await Redemption and we will see great miracles.

5 Av - Yarzheit Arizal

The Arizal [1534-1572] - Rabbi Isaac Luria was the most famous Kabbalist in the city of Safed, Israel who became known as the "Holy Arizal" or ARI, an acronym for “The G-dly Rabbi Isaac of Blessed Memory.”

The Arizal passed away at the age of 38, and it was only during the last two years of his life that he met his foremost disciple, Rabbi Chaim Vital. The Arizal himself never wrote any books, however all his words were faithfully recorded by Rabbi Chaim Vital in what is known as Kitvei Ari, the “writings of the Arizal.” The Kitvei Ari is the key to the secrets of the Zohar, and it was the Arizal who formulated the Kabbalah into a comprehensive system. Rabbi Chaim Vital writes in the name of the Arizal that, “It is a Mitzvah to reveal this wisdom.” Until the time of the Arizal, knowledge of Kabbalah was not known outside of the tightly knit circle of the tzaddikim.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

This one is for Sherry :)  and everyone else who is awaiting Geula

Disclaimer: I must add this... no-one can definitely pinpoint a date for Moshiach's arrival. Moshiach can come at any time. 

If you don't have young kids, then you don't understand.  They've been saying "six seven" for a long time. It's a chant, and as soon as they hear anyone say 6 7 they all start screaming "Six Seven".

 

Yoel 1:1

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.....

and if you still don't understand..... it represents the final digits of the Hebrew years 5786 and 5787.... when we are expecting our Redeemer. 

Maimonides' [Rambam] Thirteen Principles of Faith. Specifically, the 12th principle states: "I believe with complete faith in the coming of Moshiach, and although he may tarry, nevertheless, I wait every day for him to come".

Subtle Slander

"These are the words that Moshe spoke to all Israel" [Devarim 1:1]

Why, asked the Megaleh Amukos [R' Nosson Nota Shapira] does the verse state "...that Moshe spoke to all Israel" and not simply "...that Moshe spoke to Israel"?

The acronym of the word "eileh" he answered is "avak lashon hara" - the dust of evil speech - subtle types of slander.

Chazal state in Maseches Bava Basra [165b] "Most individuals transgress the sin of theft, a small minority transgress the sin of illicit relations, but all transgress the sin of avak lashan hara."  The grave sin of lashon hara is a sin that all of Israel might come to transgress, so all Jews must be cautioned of the danger it presents.  The verse therefore states: "These are the words that Moshe spoke to all Israel."

"Menachem" Av

H/t Daily Dose Motivation Group

Most people think Av is the month of destruction. 

But perhaps Hashem wants us to notice something else first. 

The letters that spell *אב*… when reversed… spell *בא*. *Coming.* 

Our Sages teach that _Menachem_, which means Comforter, is one of the names of Mashiach. 

Maybe that’s how Hashem wants us to enter Av. 

*Menachem ba.* Mashiach is coming. 

If that's how Hashem asks us to begin Av… then perhaps this month isn't only about remembering what was lost. It's also about looking forward to what is coming. 

*The story isn’t over.* 

*The Geulah is coming!* 

May we greet Moshiach _very_ soon.
