Tisha B’Av Minha
Tuesday, August 13, 2024 • 9 Av 5784
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Tisha B’Av is our calendar’s date of mourning. On the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av we recall tragic events in Jewish history whose legacy have shaped our identity and values. Foremost among the events we remember are the destructions of the two Temples in Jerusalem. The Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in the year 586 BCE. The Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE.
We will gather in observance of Tisha B’Av on Tuesday, August 13th our 7:30 a.m. Morning Minyan will include the prayer customs of this solemn day. We don’t wear Tallit or Tefillin on the morning of Tisha B’Av as a sign of mourning.
Tuesday, August 13th at 1 p.m. we’ll return for a special Minhah, afternoon prayer minyan, during which we wear the Tallit and Tefillin we didn’t put on in the morning.
Tisha B’Av is a full or partial day of fasting and introspection observed with emotion as we transform trauma into wisdom through ritual and conversation.
