Like Jerusalem, we are all sitting alone, apart in our own kind of exile this year. How do these themes of isolation, destruction, exile, resonate differently this year? For Tisha B'av we'll join together with Kol Emeth for a traditional chanting of Eicha (Book of Lamentations) followed by subdued singing and reflections.

7:45 Optional Minchah and Maariv Prayer Service

8:15 Eichah (Book of Lamentations) and reflections on the Fast Day

The mood of Tisha B'Av is somber. The tradition is to read Eichah like a mourner sitting on the ground. Feel free to bring down the lights in your home, light a candle, sit low to the ground or on the floor as we mourn together.
