THe Week of 9th Av

During the days of mourning, (the week in which 9th Av falls), anyone whose heart is completely faithful to Hashem his Lord feels the spiritual sensation through which the mourners of Tzion Shel Maalah, (the spiritual Jerusalem), arouse themselves to crying and lamenting, …. etc. and automatically every person of Yisroel will mourn and be saddened in his heart, therefore, there was no requirement to command mourning, rather to forbid laudering and hair cutting which bring somebody to remove his mind from mourning………..
