From Churban to Geula with Rabbi Yehoshua Geller
Rabbi Geller will discuss how the true purpose of the churban (destruction of the Temple) was not to punish us, but rather to correct us. Accordingly, the destruction ultimately represents a path to geula (redemption). In addition, Rabbi Geller will also discuss the custom of reciting Kiddush Levana, the sanctification of the moon, on motzaei Tisha B'av, and how this connects to the concept of geula. The shiur will draw from pesukim and midrashim from Eicha elaborating on this idea.
