Today is Rosh Hodesh Menahem Av. The Mishnah tells us 'As Av enters, we diminish our joy'. Rosh Hodesh Av is the beginning of a stricter mourning period for the destruction of the First and Second Beit HaMikdash. While the first Beit HaMikdash was destroyed because of our various sins, the Second Beit HaMikdash was destroyed because we did not have proper love for one another. It is no coincidence that the Yahrzeit of Aharon HaKohen, who was best known for being 'Ohev Shalom ve'Rodef Shalom'- Loving and Pursuing Peace, occurs on the beginning of this very month. If we follow suit after the example of our beloved Aharon HaKohen, and increase the love between us and our fellow brothers and sisters, we can be sure to bring Mashiah BeMeharah BeYamenu, and once again stand in the glory of the Beit HaMikdash beKarov, Amen!
