Looking for inspiration this Tisha B’Av? YWN wants to help infuse your fast day with meaning and contemplation:
Many of us can relate – The later hours of the fast, you’re exhausted, the summer sun is relentless. Perhaps you’ve said kinnos, heard shiurim, but as you grow weaker and your mind loses its sharpness many turn to Tisha B’Av-related videos for inspiration. Your energy is sapped and going to a venue outside of home is just plain uncomfortable and difficult. However, where to begin? Surely there is what to see, but better not to search, and potentially become distracted by dvarim batelim. If only you knew you could find everything you needed for a meaningful and thought-provoking fast on one site that you know and trust.
Well, this year you will.
The Yeshiva World is teaming up with Project Inspire and others to bring you a variety of videos that will help you immerse yourself in the history of the suffering of Klal Yisroel and the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash. Just one click and you’re here, all the materials you need to connect to this deeply meaningful day.
Also there is no need to pack into sweaty gyms or sit in uncomfortable seating or to even leave the confines of your home, all thats needed is to visit TheYeshivaWorld.com and begin watching presentations from various worldwide Torah institutions. Project Inspire, Ohr Somayach, Brooklyn Jewish Experience, Ohr Naava and the Tishah B’av Flatbush program will each feature videos this upcoming Tishabav on YWN.
Here are the recaps of the upcoming presentations:
This Tisha B’av, watch how success can come in unexpected and unconventional ways. Project Inspire presents an all new and original Tisha B’Av Film exploring what really constitutes a “successful” kiruv experience. Although we’d all like to believe that X+Y=SUCCESS, it’s not so simple. Through real life stories and remarks by HaRav Hillel David Shlita and insights from HaRav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler Shlita Rosh Yeshivas Beth Medrash Govoha Lakewood, NJ, The Formula shows the secret ingredient to Ahavas Yisroel and any successful kiruv interaction. The tide of the kiruv movement has changed…watch the film and see how.
Thisfilm will feature Ohr Somayach luminaries, Rosh Hayeshiva Rabbi Nota Schiller, Rov of Kehillos Ohr Somayach Rabbi Dr. Yitzchak Breitowitz and Senior Lecturers Rabbi Dr. Dovid Gottlieb and Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz. Be inspired, moved and uplifted as these world renowned lecturers infuse meaning, inspiration and understanding into this day of mourning.

In just a few days, Jewish people across the world will once again mourn over 2,000 years of unfathomable loss and devastation. As always, Ohr Naava is offering an extraordinary full night and day program, also viewable online. Join us this year as we transform a dreary day of hunger and lethargy into a transcendent 24-hours packed with depth, meaning, and change. Our dynamic world renowned speakers include Rabbi Zechariah Wallerstein, Mr. Charlie Harary, Rabbi Label Lam, Rabbi Duvi Bensoussan, Rabbi Shmuel Skaist, and Mrs. Chaya (Ivy) Kalazan. In addition to our in house speakers, the CCHF film has been inserted to our schedule to ensure that you gain the most possible from the day. For more information please visit our website at www.ohrnaava.com, or contact [email protected].
Following Kinnos at 1:00 p.m. EDT, a series of eight lectures will be presented by renowned and highly acclaimed Rabbanim and speakers: Rav Ephraim Levine, Rav Tzvi Mordechai Feldheim, Rav Daniel Glatstein, Rav Yosef Viener, Rav Moshe Tuvia Lieff, Rav Shmuel Yaakov Klein, Rav Eliyahu Meir Klugman, Rav Shmuel Dishon, and Rav Fishel Schachter. For those who have attended these classic, emotionally charged and inspiring Tisha B’Av programs, perhaps the most heartening aspect is the broad spectrum and diversity of the Flatbush, Kensington, Borough Park and other communities in attendance. All are united by a mutual desire to mourn for the churban in a meaningful way and yearn that this Tisha B’Av will be our last. Lessons, insights and inspiration from the program reverberate in the hearts and minds of the participants throughout the year.
