...not a new video, but just some salient, extremely well-parsed thoughts by Israel's ambassador to the United States, New Jersey-born and raised Dr. Michael Oren.

Aish.com has a comprehensive page of links to well-written articles about Tisha B'Av, beginning this Monday evening until Tuesday night.
I commemorated last Tisha B'Av in the northern Israeli town of Rosh Pina, close to Lebanon as Hizbullah rockets and IDF artillery alternately thundered in the background. May those scenes and sounds not return.

"Tisha B'Av marks the day when God walked out on us, and took His house with Him."Worth reading.
