Reply To: I Cry That I Don't Cry

I found myself crying for the first time on tisha b’av this year. I was trying to keep my 2 year old occupied and I was singing to her, hashivenu, etz chaim… then I started singing ‘together’ (from marvelous middos machine – a chillingly beautiful song) and I couldn’t get through it without my voice cracking up. She was touching my tears and was getting all concerned cause I was crying, and then I hugged her and asked her if she would be a mitzva girl so we could have the beis hamikdash back.
