Amid Tisha B’Av lamentations, recall that Jeremiah also said, "This I call to mind and therefore I have hope. The loving kindness of the Lord is everlasting; His mercies are new every morning and never end. Great is His faithfulness".
During this Tisha B’Av may Israel recall the steadfastness of Ezra and Nehimiah during the Babylonian 'aliyah'. They faced down the Arabs and finished rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem with swords in hand. They trusted in Israel's God.
He who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. Am Yisrael Chai.
