חורבן? בנין! • איך להסתכל נכון על החורבן | הרב מנחם ששון | שיעור תשעה באב - פרשת ואתחנן

When the sages saw a fox coming out of the destroyed Holy of Holies, they wept. Rabbi Akiva, on the other hand, laughed. He explained to them that the full fulfillment of the prophecy of destruction proves that the prophecy of redemption and building will be fulfilled in full. The sages heard and said: "Akiva is our comfort." The story teaches us how to look at personal and national crises correctly. Destruction is never the end of the story, but rather a necessary step on the path to new growth. Just as one digs into the ground and destroys an old building in order to lay strong foundations for a magnificent tower, so too does the crisis serve as a springboard. The wisdom is not to wallow in the momentary pain, but to adopt Rabbi Akiva's perspective – to recognize within the fracture the seeds of the next building, and to know that the darkness is only the preparation for a greater light to come.
