On Tisha B'Av, the Jewish people reflect on a history marked by tragedy, much of it rooted in internal division rather than external threats. The article draws a parallel between the ancient Israelites' lack of faith and unity, which led to national calamities, and the current state of disconnection and discord among Jews today. Despite the blessings of a sovereign homeland and cultural resilience, the community continues to struggle with baseless hatred and an inability to truly see and listen to one another. The author urges that Tisha B'Av should serve as a mirror, prompting deep self-examination and a renewed commitment to unity, faith, and mutual understanding.
