Description

The death for tzaddikim (the righteous) is a very great part of 9 B'Av. Burning 24 cartloads of [hand-written] Gemarahs (volumes of the Talmud). Why was it that at the moment of Yitzchak giving Yaakov the blessing, Hashem showed Yitzchak the future destruction of the Batei Mikdash (holy temples) and the rebuilding? And explanation by the Bobover RebbeAs long as children's voices learning Torah are heard, the Jewish Nation cannot be destroyed. Bilam's advice to the kings. During times of din (judgement), the only thing we can depend on is our shuls (houses of prayer), yeshivos (academies of Jewish learning), more shiurim, more tefillos (prayers) and more Torah learning. The different branches of Jewish learning, as defined in Yitzchak's brachah.
