Beginning on the 15th of Av, one should increase one’s study of Torah,

The last Mishnah in Masechet Taanit says,
"There were no holidays so joyous for the Jewish People as the Fifteenth of Av
and Yom HaKippurim, for on those days, daughters of Yerushalayim would go out

Memorializing the Murdered through the Teachings of their Master
The eight young men murdered on March 6, 2008 in
 Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem were all
fourth or fifth generation students of the revered
founder of that Yeshiva, more than eighty years ago,
 Rav Abraham Isaac Kook. The teachings of Rav Kook
emphasize love of the Land of Israel and the People of Israel.
 It would be especially appropriate to memorialize
these boys by perpetuating his teachings. To that end,
The OU  plan to deliver a brief weekly lesson, based on his teachings,
for the duration of the year of mourning, concluding Rosh Chodesh Adar, 5769.

DAILY DOSE:
A Quiet Heart
The human heart is beautiful.
The human heart can know secrets deeper than any mind could know.
 The mind cannot contain G-d, but deep inside the heart there is a place that can.
Yet there is nothing more dysfunctional than a brain controlled by emotions
 In fact, the finest mind is capable of the most horrid crimes when under the heart's management.
Let the heart be quiet and hear out the mind. In that quiet listening,
she will discover her true beauty and her deepest secrets will awaken.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman
