Watch the incredible strength that was shown by our previous generations, and learn how they managed to keep their faith despite all of their incredible challenges. And most of all, learn what we can do to end this exile once and for all.

Update: Tisha B’Av-What We Are Missing Today

This new video from Oorah is geared more towards teens and adults. Today, living in relative safety and comfort, learn what it is that we are missing today and what message the day of Tisha B’av holds for us. Be inspired by Rabbi Refael Fried of Oorah’s Kiruv department. and rabbi Avi Schnall. Special message at the end from HaRav Chaim Mintz, Oorah’s founder and spiritual leader.
