THE TRUE VIEW
How seeing the good in others will help rebuild the Bais Hamikdash
As the entire Jewish world puts aside the concerns of daily life on Tisha B’Av in order to mourn the Beis Hamikdash, a tide of inspiration also flows out across the globe. For more than two decades, The Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation’s World-Wide Tisha B’Av Event has brought together Jews from all walks of life, 16 countries, 700 sites in communities, camps and bungalow colonies across the country and throughout the world, to be inspired to do their part in bringing achdus and geulah to Klal Yisrael.
Each year, the Event focuses on new perspectives and practical actions each person can take to increase sholom in their own lives and in the world. The presentations speak to the heart, moving people to make changes in themselves that bring z’chus and brocha into their lives.
Testimony to the impact of these Events comes in the form of dozens of emails and phone calls each year, reporting rifts that have been healed, life issues that have been resolved and spiritual health that has been restored, all as a result of the inspiring words heard on Tisha B’Av.
This year’s Event, “The True View, How seeing the good in others will help rebuild the Bais Hamikdash,†focuses on seeing the good in others — l’ros tov. When we do that, we see what’s really there — the spark of Hashem that’s inside each Jew. Instantly, we live in a better, brighter and more harmonious world. This year’s speakers will paint a brilliant picture of the beautiful life each person can attain by focusing on the positive in each person. The Event’s speakers focus not only on the spiritual aspects of seeing the good in others, but on the practical, doable nature of the concept. What may seem impossible and “not for me†emerges as entirely possible, and doable for everyone.
“The True View, How seeing the good in others will help rebuild the Bais Hamikdash†will be presented in 700 venues in hundreds of cities throughout the world.

Both versions of this year’s presentation are aimed at awakening each person to the boundless benefits of seeing the good in others.
Join thousands of Jews around the globe as we strive to build that better world at this year’s World-Wide Tisha B’Av Event. Discover how to see past the negativity that divides us, straight through to the innate goodness that makes each of us a beloved child in Hashem’s “eyes.â€
