Dear Friends,
Chasidut teaches that just as our Father in heaven consoles us (as we read in the beginning of the portion of Prophets for this Shabbat, “Comfort, comfort My people, says your G-d”), so we must comfort our Father in heaven by assuring Him that even in the darkest moments of our exile we retain perfect faith and trust in Him, that ultimately, all is for the good and that our true and complete redemption is imminent. We have brought you a beautiful article on Shabbat Nachamu below, complete with a song that Rabbi Ginsburgh composed as he rode to a historic lecture with Reb Shlomo Carlebach o.b.m. in 1985.
This Tuesday night and Wednesday is Tu B’Av, the 15th of Av, one of the most joyous days on the Jewish calendar. The sages say that there were no more joyous days than the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. On Tu B’Av the maidens of Israel would dance in the vineyards and many shidduchim (matches) were made on that day. A new marriage prompts the greatest joy for within every marriage there is potential for the birth of the Mashiach. Be sure to see the video of Rabbi Ginsburgh giving marriage advice to one of his students, below. Whether you are newly wed, have been married 70 years or are still looking, this advice is for you.

We recently marked the 200th issue of Wonders Magazine. To celebrate, we’ve started sharing English translations of HaRav Ginsburgh’s classes from our Hebrew sister publication, Niflaot. You can access the translations from
this week's Niflot here.Note that more translations from this week's issue will be added over the next few days (perhaps even before Shabbat starts, with God's help).
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Moshe Genuth and the Gal Einai Team
