Tisha B'Av: Rebuilding the Av and Ben Relationship

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why can our parents and grandparents shed a tear on the Churban when we sit on the floor dry-eyed? Golus is a break between Av and Ben, going back to Adam HaRishon's wish to be independent of Hashem. Today we live in the doing, among things and screens, and our emotions freeze. Perhaps Hashem is using technology to take away every other claim to fame and bring His children back to the Father.

Key points

• Golus is a disconnect between father and son, children exiled from their father's table.
• Adam HaRishon wanted to be independent of Hashem, and Hashem asked him Ayeka, where are you.
• A sefer quoted says the aveiros of Am Yisrael are b'mikreh, not their essence.
• A professor's speech warns that we live in the left hemisphere's things but crave the right's meaning.
• A Chabad chassid foresaw a machine that would be a lamdan, but none that davens with avodah.
