In this shiur for Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, Rav Dov Ber Cohen draws a direct line between the month's energy and the epidemic of inauthenticity all around us. From the Golden Calf to social media personas, from counterfeit spirituality to communities built on status, he names the core wound of these weeks: we have learned to perform rather than to be.
The sense of the month is sight, and Rabbi Dov Ber teaches that how we see determines everything. Do we see ourselves as a son of the King, or as an animal driven by appetite? Do we see the difficult people in our lives as obstacles, or as Eliyahu Hanavi sent to help us grow? Do we see our brokenness as disqualifying, or as precisely what belongs in the Kodesh Hakodashim?
The rectification of Tammuz is not grand. It is the quiet, daily choice to look at ourselves, at others, and at life itself through the eyes of chesed, emunah, and something real.
