The Thing I Fear Most Is Fear: From Vain Tears to Healing Power | Why Fear Paralyzes, and How We Are Finally Ready to Rise Above It
Send us a textOn the night of Tisha B’Av, the Jewish people cried out of fear, not from a real threat, but from a perceived one. That night became a tragic turning point in our history, not because of a divine punishment, but because fear itself became the seed of generations of sorrow.This class explores the deeper meaning of those "vain tears" through Torah, psychology, and metaphor. From the self-fulfilling prophecy of the spies, to Harvard's famous "Rosenthal Experiment," to the chained circus elephant who forgot her strength, we see how fear and self-image can imprison entire generations.But we are no longer that generation. We are living in a time of healing and empowerment. This Tisha B’Av, we are called to rewrite the script. To cry no more. To rise with resolve. To finally break free and bring healing, light, and redemption to our world.Key Takeaways:Fear isn’t always logical, but it’s always powerful.Even miracles won’t help if we don’t believe in ourselves.Vain tears become real pain.When we cry over imagined powerlessness, we invite genuine suffering, because we surrender our G-d-given strength.We see ourselves as grasshoppers and so does the world.The way we perceive ourselves shapes how others treat us.Belief creates reality.Like elephants chained by false memories, we stay stuck not because we are weak, but because we think we are.This is the age of healing.We’re not grasshoppers. We’re not victims. We are a generation with tools, strength, and clarity. It’s time to remember who we are.Tisha B’Av will be transformed.With courage, truth, and unity, even our day of weeping will become a day of joy, with the coming of Moshiach.#fear #healing #Jewish #Judaism #shlach #TorahPortion #Torah #TorahLessons #Bible #BibleStudy #TishaBav #Spirituality #Moshiach #Spiritual #lubavitch #RabbiWisdom Click HERE to purchase a raffle ticket www.ndgraffle.comSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
