Rabbi Yissocher Frand, a maggid shiur in Yeshivas Ner Yisroel in Baltimore, Maryland, has given hundreds of lectures over the past decades. Here he shines a bright light on one aspect of the mitzvah of Klal Yisroel, "nosei ohl b'chaveiro, "bearing the yoke" of another's burden.
Beginning with a discussion of Tu B'Av and Tisha B'Av, Rabbi Frand derives an original perspective on one paramount middah of HaShem, Rabbi Frand then demonstrates with practical examples how the power of human imagination, yoked in the service of walking in HaShem's ways, can transform interpersonal relations and alter the perception of reality by those we interact with.
