Tisha B'Av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, on which we fast, deprive ourselves and pray. It is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period of time during which we mark the destruction of both Solomon's Temple by the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Second Temple by the Roman Empire in Jerusalem.

Join us as we commemorate Tisha B’Av. We’ll gather in the Beit Am at 9 p.m. for a service and program, including the traditional chanting from the book of Eicha/Lamentations. We traditionally sit on the floor in a dim room, so bring your flashlights. Chairs will be available.

The next morning, July 18, join us for a Tisha B'Av Sunday morning minyan at 9 a.m. That service will include a Torah and Haftarah readings, as well as selections from Eicha.
