Man's job is not to bring God down to our level, but to elevate ourselves to His. The 17th of Tammuz is intended to activate our potential for personal and collective growth.

A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

Rebbitzen Chana Juravel gives an inspired class on tolerating those who rub us the wrong way, and on us tolerating our own character faults. By putting a new spin on the global values of modern society, hear where and when tolerance needs to be applied. The Second Temple was destroyed due to Sinas Chinam (intolerance being a subdivision) making this a particularly pertinent class for the 3 weeks leading to Tisha B'av.
