Raize Guttman 07-16-17 (22 Tammuz 5777)

Shiur about Bein Ha Metzarim, which means between the narrow straits. It is the confining Three Weeks time period that we are in right now between 17 Tammuz until 9 Av. They are designated as a time of mourning over the destruction of the 2 Holy Temples and the resultant galut (physical exile & spiritual displacement) in which we still find ourselves. It is a scary time as during these 3 weeks many calamities have occurred on a personal level, on a collective level to the Jewish people. We need to strengthen ourselves to come closer to Hashem. We do this through mourning. We do this through tears. Raize gives over many suggestions how to make this time & the tears we shed as meaningful as possible.
