Holidays and Annual Lecture Series.

Tisha B’Av is both the culmination of the Three Weeks of mourning as well as a day of preparation for the season of repentance.

Our session will reflect on the ways in which Tisha B’Av functions within the yearly cycle.

Come learn what Chasidic rebbes thought about the nature of the Temple and the meanings–both theological and personal–of its destruction.

The Destruction of Jerusalem was not the result of a failure in leadership alone. It was also the result of individuals who failed to fulfill their communal responsibilities. We’ll spend a short time surveying the biblical and rabbinic texts that express this before doing a deep dive into what the legal obligations of the individual to the community are, and far “community” extends in this modern age.

Join us Tisha B’Av morning for kinnot.
