Inside "Akiva Nichamtanu" with Baruch Levine

Song: Akiva Nichamtanu Sung by Baruch Levine Inspiration by Baruch Levine As we stand here right after Tisha B'av, we can't help but wonder if this will actually be the last Tisha B'av. Every year we yearn and try to better ourselves with the hope that Hashem will bring us out of this galus, but then Tisha B'av comes again and we're left asking ourselves "What now?!" But just as quickly as the fast ends, a new hope arises with the famous words "Nachamu Nachamu Ami". What is this nechama, this consolation? Baruch Levine takes us into the well known gemara with Rabbi Akiva and the famous words "Akiva Nichamtanu! Akiva Nichamtanu!" through his beautiful song. May this year actually be the last Tisha B'av we ever have to mourn, and may the redemption turn this day of sorrow into a day of great celebration. No Internet? No smartphone? No problem!
