Month of AV – Fifth Month
Av means “Father” or Menachem Av, “The Comforter Father.”
The month of Av is associated with the tribe of Simeon and connected to the sense of hearing. Simeon’s name means hearing or listening.
This month brings a balance of divine comfort and tragedy and many contradictions and choices, so embrace your relationship with Adonai; every choice that is made will either diminish you or raise you up in Adonai. It is imperative that we to cast off what causes us to lose focus, protect our ear gate, listen, hear, be transformed and not act impulsively. Av is a month where strict justice will come when judgment is rendered. Be encouraged to know that with opposition comes opportunity.
