Hebrew by InbalWhile walking through one of the most beautiful neighborhoods we’ve discovered, I came across a handmade spin wheel by the sidewalk—each section offering a word to carry with you: believe, grateful, make peace, celebrate, laugh, love, hope, unite, forge ahead.
Of course, I gave it a spin.
And it landed on HOPE.
That one word struck deep—especially today, as Israel marks Tisha B’Av, a day of mourning and reflection over destruction, exile, and suffering through the generations.
Hope—for the release of the hostages.
Hope—for true and lasting peace.
Hope—for my students and all who long to connect with the beauty of Hebrew.
Hope—that what I teach finds its way into the hearts that need it most.
It was exactly the message I needed today. Maybe it’s one you need too. 💫

standingogether_fr 🟣 🎗️Chaque jour de cette semaine, je porterai la chemise violette et je serai dans la lutte et dans la rue
- contre la famine et l'anéantissement,
- pour la libération des otages
- contre les crimes de guerre continus que notre gouvernement et notre armée commettent à Gaza
- Aujourd'hui, je ferai également une grève de la faim au camp de résistance de Tel Aviv.
Chaque action visera à convaincre la société dans laquelle nous vivons
- que nous devons résister
- que nous ne devons pas coopérer
- que nous ne devons pas rester silencieux

Some Geek Told MeToday is Tisha B'Av, known as the Jewish Day of Mourning. It is a commemoration of a number of disasters in Jewish history, mainly the destruction of both Solomon's Temple by the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Second Temple by the Roman Empire in Jerusalem. #FactsMatter #TishaBAv
David AbravanelTo anyone fasting, I wish you a meaningful Tisha B'Av.
This article from one of the leaders of Smol Emuni isn't an easy read, but it's something to reckon with. If you're in New York, there are more rallies forthcoming to apply Jewish pressure on this on both Sunday & Monday.
I'm also going to add, to any non-Jews: these kinds of takes are not your place to make. Which also includes anyone reading this post thinking of making some obscene reductive comment condemning every Jew on earth for the ethnic cleansing and starvation in Gaza. You can show up for Gaza *without* being smug and hateful, and let Jews fight what is being done specifically in our names.

This is the most difficult Tisha B’Av I’ve ever experienced. Reading the book of Eicha/Lamentations has never been as real.
#Tishabav
/teesh-’ah be-’av/ תשעה באב — A solemn day of mourning and reflection.
Observed tonight and tomorrow, תשעה באב (9 Av) marks the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem—by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and the Romans in 70 CE.
It’s a day of fasting, mourning, and reading Eicha (Lamentations), remembering not just ancient tragedies but centuries of Jewish suffering—from exile to expulsions and war.
More than mourning, it’s a call for introspection, unity, and hope.
/tsom kal/ צום קל to those fasting.
EnniusTisha B'Av starts on the evening of 2nd August. Here the initial-word of Eicha (Lamentations) is flanked by a figure (Jeremiah?) and the open text of Eicha.
