Hebrew calendar
Hello Rabbi Michi!
Do you think the Hebrew calendar expresses a sad, perhaps even unhealthy, nation?
Two months of the year you have to mourn {counting the Omer and the three weeks} and another month of forgiveness in which you make sure 3 times a day and repent for the sin of theft, adultery, and more? Doesn’t this religious ritual express a problematic mental structure of those who recite it?
Also, does praying 3 times a day and saying the same text express intellectual disability?

Absolutely not. We have been through a lot and we don’t want to repress them. Our mood throughout our lives is not determined by these dates. Confession is a matter for certain dates, and it is appropriate for a person to take stock of his soul. Cheerfulness that ignores failures is not a value in my opinion. It is not worth getting depressed, but no one tells you to get depressed. I don’t know many who actually do.
The second question is not related to intellectual disability, although I also find it difficult to connect to regular prayer and I have already written about this.
