the weeping healing process you enlighten,(beautiful concept) left me with with two dreads (1) i need weeping lessons (2) like the flood and the blood of able the earth around us and the heavens above us also weep/to cure its ills. where does it teach us how to weep ? so we could prevent our miseries that bring us to the point of our weeping ? is an antidote to our theological crisis to find an identifiable method to help us Jews to weep ?
to learn to weep is the essence of Tikkun Chazot. (See Breslov.org books for English renderings of this wonderful ritual). The grand Master of weeping in our tradition is the Holy Piacetzna Rebbe who wrote the Eish Kodesh (Translated by Hershy Worch as Holy Fire-see amazon) in which he writes weekly sermons on the Parsha and watches his beloved ones taken from him as the months go by, until he himself is sent to Treblinka in early 1943.
He teaches us how to make weeping part of our worship and avodas Hashem.
