Rav Avrohom Baruch Zachariash speaks about "Nechama with Aveilus" on Tisha B'Av afternoon at Beis Medrash Ahavas Shalom in Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel

[BS"D] Did children paly with pets in the times of the Talmud? in this shiur we encounter a certain disagreement between the Tannaim regarding a pet-grasshopper owned by a child.
