9:30 p.m. TONIGHT, Monday, August 4th, please join us in
the Congregation Beth Shalom Chapel for TISHA B’AV.
You will be
greeted by candlelight, an empty ark, as we set the tone with the hauntingly
beautiful elegiac trope from The Book of Lamentations, Eicha, – the Prophet Jeremiah’s eye-witness account of the
Destruction of Jerusalem, in 586 BCE.
In keeping
with the tradition of other tragedies which have befallen the Jewish people
throughout history on the Ninth of Av, I will share my most recent visit to
Clifford’s Tower – The Masada of the
North – in York, which was the prelude to the Jews’ Expulsion from England
on Tisha B’Av 1290.
9:00 a.m., TOMORROW, Tuesday, August
5th, TISHA B’AV services continue during Morning Minyan, scheduled
for this special later time.
IF YOU ARE IN TOWN, PLEASE JOIN FOR
THESE TWO SERVICES
and have a tsom kal – an easy fast
