I try to spend the time leading up to Tisha B'Av thinking about sinat chinam and how to stop feeling it. I did better last year, I think. This year, I've been distracted.
Not that I hate more this year, just that I'm having a harder time thinking actual meaningful thoughts.
You'll have to tell me what it's like spending the day in Jerusalem.
the truth? is flakey. because i feel lately like i am channeling the sorrow of jerusalem.
business as usual seems disorienting to me and sweeps me along into the regular scheme of things which is not really where i want or ought to be in this period of time regardless of what i think about the future possible existence of a temple or the mosiah or any of those type of things.
i have come here to discover how traditional or maybe even how tied to orthodoxy? i am.
except of course that i am so not-- while i am totally. weird place to be.
