It is now that time of the year, in which observant Jews mourn the destruction of the temple. For three weeks , Weddings and celebrations do not take place, observant Jews do not listen to any instrumental music, or buy new clothing , and there are other customs ,which I can't think of at the moment
.
Starting the first day of the month of Ab, which was last Wednesday, certain people will not eat meet (Unless on a Shabbat - Saturday), or enjoy a good shower . It is said that a short shower with cold water is allowed , which is what I do anyway considering the weather. Pious Jewish men will not shave their beard - not shaving your beard in the Jewish calture is also a sign of mourning. And all of that is because many many years ago there was a temple,and it was destroyed .Twice .The first temple was destoyed and burned by a cruel Babilonian king ,. The heavenly reason was because the Jews were corrupted. They worshiped idols , shed blood ,and fornicated - which means ,they had sex other than with their wives , or before they were married, as is common in our day and age. The second temple was destroyed by a Roman leader ,but this time the reason was SINAT CHINAM. It is basically means hatred in vain . I confess , that I find myself hating people who think differently than I , on certain issues .Sometimes when I feel threatened by someone's success , I feel this naughsty feeling too.

what is hate?
according to The book , hating is when you are disengaged from someone, when you on purpose ignore him ,or don't care about him - this is hate. The book's definition of hatered is much more suttle than what you would think.
