Shabat Chazon |
The Shabat preceding the 9th day of Av is called “Shabbat Chazon”, due to the Haftorah we read on that Shabbat beginning with the word “Chazon”, relating the prophetic vision of the temple. |
The inner meaning, the Rebbe says, is that then we see the future temple. | |
“The example given is that of a father who gave his dear son an expensive garment, who wasn’t careful, and it tore. The situation repeated itself a second time. The third time, the father made a garment, but didn’t give it to him. Sometimes the father would only show him and say, “Look, if you behave properly, I’ll give it to you.” |
