Shilo and Tisha B’Av.
Tisha B’Av was defined by Chazal as a day of weeping for generations. But surprisingly, Chazal describe Yosef and Benjamin as weeping for the destruction of the Temple along with the destruction of Shiloh. What does this mean?
The answer is related to “שנאת חינם” (hatred for no reasobn), the reason for the destruction of both the Temple and the Tabernacle in Shilo.
And the amendment is “אהבת חינם” (love for no reasobn) – which is also related to Shilo, in the events of the 15th of Av – Tu B`av.
