Tisha B’Av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar—a day of mourning for the destruction of both Batei Mikdash, as well as countless tragedies throughout Jewish history.
It is a day for reflection, communal mourning, and connecting to the pain and resilience of the Jewish people.

This year’s Tisha Ba’Av Program will not only commemorate the tragedies of our past but will also reflect on the painful realities and challenges facing Klal Yisrael today. In light of the devastating events of this past year, we will hear from individuals directly impacted by these tragedies, bringing the messages of Tisha B’Av into our present reality. Together, we will have the opportunity to reflect, mourn, and strengthen our unity as a community.
