“The month of Tammuz aligns with the beginning of the summer… a month that is physically warm in temperature and also warm in spirituality, full of G-dly revelation.

…

The greater potential a person has, the deeper they can fall… The month of Tammuz presents us with this pendulum effect.

Tammuz is not historically a happy month for the Jewish people. It is… a dark month of mourning… [beginning the three-week period of mourning from the 17th of Tammuz through 9th of Av].

With all this sadness and destruction, it’s hard to understand how Tammuz is a month of G-dly revelation. G-d’s presence feels awfully hidden.

When the redemption finally arrives, these mournful summer months will be the most joyous; these days of sadness will be transformed into days of elation. And that is where the energy, the intention and the magic of Tammuz lies: in the power of transformation. In this month, we have the power to transform negative energy, toxins, depression and sadness into joy and positivity.”
