Thank you for this post. I really appreciated the video especially the yeshiva boys dancing in that place.

I was just talking about this notion of crying out. When will we have cried out enough for Hashem to change our collective Din?

I thought about Moshe and his stutter. Why, when he did so much for so many, was he plagued by a stutter until his death? As you know, he never cried out for this He never asked for this remedy from Hashem who loved him so much and certainly would have granted it.

In this time of Av. In this time of suffering. May our crying out be enough to change the Din for all Am Yisrael.

Thanks for stopping by, so happy you found it helpful.

The video of the dancing was in the 18th century shul of Lancut, which is one of very few of the magnificent shuls of Eastern Europe that survived the Holocaust.

When will our crying be enough? That's one of the things we can't know - but must know and care about our not-knowing.

May we hear good news!
