Many wonder about the significance of observing Tisha B'Av in our post-Holocaust present world marked by the State of Israel. Their feeling is that if we should mark anything, it is the Holocaust, the presence of which we still feel. Their question, though, is if we should still mark anything as we now do have the State.
In this recent Jewish Tribune article, I respond, in a sublte way, to these two challenges.
