The Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a in Dimona - "The Tzaddik Said to Go, So One Must Not Hesitate"

"In two weeks, the Tenth of Tevet, we need to transform the 17th of Tammuz into a day of food and simcha (joy). Tisha B'Av began in the Second Temple, after the destruction of the First Temple. Deborah the prophetess told Barak to go, but he did not want to, so he lost. Deborah the prophetess said to go, the tzaddik said to go, but Barak hesitated. If a person hesitates, their fate is to die."

"Deborah told Barak son of Abinoam that they must go, they must advance, a person must advance. 'But they did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor' (Joshua 16:10). And then what happened? 'After him came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel' (Judges 3:31), 'Shamgar son of Anath' was the son of Moshe Rabbeinu, Yael was his wife, and Deborah was Moshe himself."

"Shamgar was a spark from Gershom, the son of Moshe, Yael was a spark from Tziporah, whoever merits to be a spark from Tziporah will bring the complete redemption. A person comes to the world to be a spark from Tziporah, Tziporah is Feiga. The entire purpose of a person is to be a spark from Tziporah, like Yael. 'Yael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come, my lord, come right in. Don't be afraid." So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket' (Judges 4:18). 'And she covered him with a blanket' is the gematria of Tziporah, therefore Tziporah was flying in the air."
