Tisha B'Av is now over, and over the next bit we will be transitioning out of summer into back to work and back to school mode. As September progresses all thoughts will turn to the big holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
As we leave Tisha B'Av and try to think about what we can learn for next year, I want to share a couple of news articles that I came across today. The first is from the NY Times' Nicholas Kristof, and is titled "Make Diplomacy, Not War". The other is a Canadian Press report published in the Globe and Mail on the celebration of Canada's first-ever National Peacekeepers Day. Given all that is Tisha B'Av, it seems fitting that National Peacekeepers Day fell at the same time- August 9, 2008.
