Tisha Bav 

Description

Why were the keruvim hugging when the Bet Hamikdash was being destroyed? What does it mean that we take away from Hashem's strength when we sin? Eytan Ezrachi - Hashem gives up his full name and his revealed presence in this world when we sin. Bnei Yisaschar - when the Bet Hamikdash was destroyed we felt the gap and loss most poignantly and Hashem was giving us a good bye hug. That's why Mashiach is born on Tisha B'av. Hashem's name is incomplete with a vav hey, his kiseh with an aleph, Yerushalayim with a yud, and Eliyahu with a vav, altogether that's 28. Koach maasav hegid lamo, beresheet first pasuk is 28 letters, 28 letters in miluy of miluy of Hashem's name, kaddish's main section is 28 letters and 28 words, yadid for Bet Hamikdash =28
