Was it a coincidence that the events of last week occurred during the week of Parshas Pinichas? I don't believe in coincidence.
Pinichas has been compared to Eliyahu, the harbinger of Moshiach. Some Miforshim even go so far as to say that they are one and the same person. What trait are they both known for? Ahavas Israel. They put themselves in danger to create Ahavas Israel. We have an opportunity following the 8,000 plus acts of ultimate kindness, of people coming to Leiby's funeral, to continue that and maybe, just maybe turn this Tisha B'Av around. What destroyed the Bais HaMikdosh? Sinas Chinim. what can bring it back to us? Ahavas Chinim. All it takes is one act... spread the word.
