Shalom and greetings:

In our tour through the Jewish calendar this year, we arrive at August 13, Tisha B'Av, and August 19, Tu B'Av. The first is the saddest day and the second is the happiest day on the calendar.

Tisha B'Av, "ninth day of the month of Av," is a fast day commemorating the destruction of both Temples, by the Babylonians [586 B.C.E], and by the Romans [70 C.E.]. Other horrid events happened on this day, e.g. the Spanish expulsion [1492 C.E.]. Some Jews refuse to commemorate Tisha B'Av, because they think it's about restoring the Temple, and miss the spiritual message.

The Talmud tells that when bad things happen we are to look inside ourselves for the reason, not outside (Beracoth 5a). The first Temple fell because Hebrews divided Solomon's kingdom and were easily conquered. The second Temple fell because Jews had sinat chinam (baseless hatred) towards one another (Talmud Yoma 9b). Groups fought with one another, gossiped and had cliques. One fellow got snubbed at a party, was so humiliated, as rabbis looked on doing nothing, that he told the Romans that Jews were "plotting to rebel" (Talmud Gittin 55b-56a), which started the siege.

Tisha B'Av mourns our not understanding that intrinsic to Judaism are the concepts of "love your fellow" and "Shalom ha gadol" – peace is the greatest of virtues (Talmud Derek Eretz). Problems with others stem from our own character defects. Tisha B'Av is a time for deep introspection and improving our future behavior.

Tu B'Av (15th Av) is the happiest day in Judaism! Young women and men would dance in the vineyards and meet. The girls would wear the same white simple dress so that rich girl, and poor girl, would all look alike, none adorned with jewelry or make up. Males would get to know them for their intelligence and kindness, and not for external attributes [Talmud Ta'anit 30b-31a].  "Whoever enjoys a wedding feast and gladdens the bride and groom it is as though he rebuilt one of the ruins of Jerusalem" (Talmud Beracoth 6b). Tu B'Av is a day of love, when marriages, engagements, proposals have extra Mazel [luck].  By participating in a joyous wedding, one is repairing the world.

JEWISH WEDDINGS OFFICIATED BY RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: TRADITIONAL, INTERFAITH, CO-OFFICIANT, DESTINATION

http://jewish.server272.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/262868_10150265476508494_113476883493_7846773_2284419_n.jpg

"One of the Joys of being a Rabbi," says Rabbi Arthur Segal," is working closely with the bride and groom and officiating at their wedding." He can do this with couples living near by or with couples having a destination wedding in the greater beautiful Hilton Head Island area.

Rabbi Arthur Segal helps develop a custom ceremony with the couple so that each word in the ceremony rings true to them. His ceremonies can range from the very traditional to what ever the couples desires. Rabbi opines that this is the couple's special day, and to treat each wedding as unique.

For those who are having an interfaith wedding, Rabbi takes special care to respect both traditions, again with total input from the couple. He will be pleased to co-officiate at weddings, using non-Trinitarian language.

Rabbi will work closely with the wedding planer and/or caterer to make sure the wedding is seamless, and the bride and groom can totally enjoy themselves on their special day.

Rabbi Arthur Segal is available, and actually prefers, to be at the rehearsal, to ensure all is going smoothly, and to get to know the bridal party, and family, before the actual wedding day.

For those that wish to have a Ketubah, rabbi will work closely to make sure everyone's name has correct calligraphy on the document, in English and Hebrew, so the signing ceremony is flawless.

Rabbi Arthur Segal tries to limit his weddings to Hilton Head, SC, Bluffton, SC, Palmetto Bluff, SC, Savannah, GA, and Charleston, SC, but has been known to make himself available elsewhere, even out of the USA. He will also conduct weddings and recommitment ceremonies on cruise ships.

In keeping with Jewish ethics, if the couple resides in Rabbi Arthur Segal's town, Rabbi will ask, unless there are some special circumstances, if the couple has first asked the local pulpit rabbi to officiate.
