erev Tisha B'Av
Shabbat, Aug 10th 8:45p to 10:00p
Tisha B'Av, the annual fast occurring on the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av, primarily commemorates the destruction of the first and second Temples, first by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and the second by the Romans in 70 CE. Tisha B'Av is also a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies of the Jewish people. Join us for a somber, yet beautiful, service with the traditional chanting of Eicha - the Biblical book Lamentations. There will also be a multi-screen presentation focused on Jerusalem during the reading.
