Update:

 

Bring a candle to light, a large piece of paper (8x11 or bigger), and a marker for this special observance of Tisha B'Av that we are sharing with Congregation Dorshei Tzedek. As we recall the great traumas of Jewish history, beginning with the Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, we are also invited to mourn all that we have suffered and all that we have lost in this time of COVID and the reckoning with the history and continuing impact of racism in our country. What can we gain by pouring out our hearts together? What does our tradition have to teach us as we consider that Judaism has survived for 2500 years since that first Destruction?

Rabbi Barbara Penzner and Cantor Louise Treitman will lead us in song, prayer, learning, and meditation to face the brokenness in our lives today. Members of HBT and CDT will also lead parts of this service, and everyone attending on Zoom will have a way to participate (with your candle and with the poster we will ask you to make during the event.)
