Why Are Jews Still In Exile? (Tisha BeAv & Teshuva Special)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the concept of Jewish exile and the importance of Teshuva (repentance) on Tisha B'Av. He argues that Jewish exile is not a physical state but a spiritual one, marked by a lack of connection to HaShem and a failure to observe mitzvot. He emphasizes that even with the establishment of Israel, the Jewish people are still in exile because their hearts and minds are not fully devoted to HaShem. Rabbi Reuven explores the theme of Teshuva, stating that it is a continuous process, not a one-time event. He highlights the role of prophets in calling people to Teshuva and the consequences of rejecting their message. He also stresses the importance of personal responsibility, emphasizing that every individual has a role in bringing about the redemption. Rabbi Reuven points out the dangers of assimilation and the pursuit of material wealth, arguing that these distract from the true purpose of life. He concludes by urging listeners to prioritize their connection to HaShem, learn Torah, and strive to be the best versions of themselves, as this is the key to preparing for the coming of the Messiah.
