Av is the eleventh month of the civil year and the fifth month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar.

In the Babylonian (Talmud, Taanit 29a), we read

“When we enter [the month of] Av, our joy is diminished”.

This is due to the fact that the darkest events in Jewish history occurred during the first week and a half of this month, particularly The Nine Days which culminate in Tisha B’Av, (9th day of Av), the Temple in Jerusalem was twice destroyed.On full moon of the month we celebrate Tu B’Av which was is one of the happiest days of the year, and the day that Reb Shlomo officiated at many of the Chevra’s weddings.
Reb Shlomo shared with us many Torahs and Stories.

• Ki Va Mo’ed: When the Time Comes
• Tisha b’Av: Begging G-d for intimacy
• Tisha b’Av: Disposable Kinot
• The Third Temple: A Vision of Peace and Unity
• Don’t be a Talebearer: Become the master of your tongue

Tammuz is the tenth month of the civil year and the fourth month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar. The 17th of Tammuz is a fast day in remembrance of Jerusalem’s walls being breached and the beginning of the Three Weeks, a period of mourning commemorating events surrounding the destruction of the Temples and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the land of Israel. Reb Shlomo shared with us many Torahs and Stories.

• Tisha b’Av: Begging G-d for intimacy

Sivan (Siwan) is the ninth month of the civil year and the third month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar. According to tradition on the 1st of Sivan, 150 days after the rains stopped in the Great Flood, the raging waters which covered the entire earth calmed down the rate of one cubit every four days (Genesis 8:3; Rashi) . On the 6th of Sivan we celebrate Shavuot and the Yahrzeit of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement in Judaism. On the 17th of Sivan, Noah’s ark came to a rest.

Reb Shlomo taught us the some of us are so worried that our children should be religious. He taught us to first make Yidden out of them. The deepest holiness of us Jews is not only in the way we keep Shabbos and eat matza. The deepest holiness is how we pray for our children.

Here are some of Reb Shlomo’s teachings for the month of Siwan.

• Shavuos: Putting a little bit of Heaven into our lives
• Shavuot: Vessels to contain G-ds Light
• Shavuot: Opening gates between heaven and earth
• Lag B’Omer, Shavuot and Kiddish Levanah: You should always have someone to tell your secrets
• Shavuot: The Holiness of Shavuot Night
• Vav: Truth and beauty
• Ruth: the soul that really died for people

Reb Shlomo Carlebach shared with us many insights about Iyyar, the eighth month of the civil year and the second month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar. He had some innovative ideas about the meaning and the legacy of

4 Iyar - Yom Hazikaron (Israel Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Remembrance / Memorial Day)
5 Iyar - Yom Ha’atzma’ut (Israeli Independence Day)
14 Iyar - Pesach Sheini (Second Passover)
18 Iyar - Lag Ba’omer
28 Iyar - Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day: commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem).

Reb Shlomo Carlebach visited the concentration camps in Poland in 1989. He was asked how he could greet, shake hands with — and even hug — children of the perpetrators and even the perpetrators themselves. Reb Shlomo replied

“If we had two hearts like we have two arms and two legs, then one heart could be used for love and the other one for hate. Since I have but one heart, then I don’t have the luxury of hating anyone.”

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laGvura “Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism” is a day of commemoration for the Jews who perished in the Holocaust. In Israel, it is a national memorial day observed on the 27th of Nisan which is in between the anniversary of the beginning of the most significant portion of the insurgency in the Warsaw ghetto uprising (14th of Nisan) and Yom Haazmaut (Israel Independence Day (5th of Iyar)).

Reb Shlomo taught us that during the Seder on Passover we take the maror, the bitter herb, and dip it into the sweet haroses is to remind us that even in our greatest pain G-d makes the pain wide enough for you to go through… even when G-d gave us all the maror in the world, all the bitterness, there was always just one little sweet spot.

During the Passover Season the Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach Foundation will post transcriptions, video and audio recordings of Reb Shlomo talking and singing about Passover. Check back frequently, as new content is posted daily!!
