Joy Comes in the Morning

Most Gentiles know about the major Jewish holidays and observances throughout the year:  Passover, Hanukkah, and even Yom Kippur and Purim.  However, there are numerous other special days on the Jewish calendar which are not nearly as well known.

Among these is a special day observed by many Jewish people each year in the summer months:  Tisha B’Av.

Indubitably, no race, no ethnic group has ever experienced the level of adversity and suffering as have the Jewish people throughout their history.  This should not surprise us when we realize the special plan and purpose that God has for Israel and the level of spiritual warfare directed against its fulfillment.

One day each year is devoted to Jewish recollection, recognition, and response in sorrow to the many tragic events and circumstances faced by previous generations.  That day is Tisha B’Av.

In this episode of “Ancient Words, Modern Message” in a tenth “Bagel-side Chat” we consider the meaning of Tisha B’Av, how it is observed by Jewish people around the world, and the “light at the end of the dark tunnel,” as promised by the psalmist in Psalm 30:4-5:

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.  For his anger endureth but for a moment; in his favor is life.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
