Why do we still mourn the destruction of the Temple thousands of years later? What does Tisha B’Av mean for Jews today—and how can this day of national sorrow inspire healing and hope?

In this special Tisha B’Av episode of Jewish Insights, Justin Pines is joined by historian and teacher Rabbi Dr. J.J. Schacter for a powerful conversation about Jewish suffering, memory, and resilience. From the destruction of the Temples to the Holocaust to October 7th, Rabbi Schacter helps us understand why remembering is essential—and how even in our darkest moments, there is a spark of redemption.
