Tisha B'Av Service at Adath Jeshurun
Welcomes Sharei Chesed and Mayim Rabim
Monday, July 19

Tisha B’Av, the ninth of Av, is considered the saddest day in Jewish history, a time to come together to reflect on tragic and devastating events in our history.

Adath Jeshurun will observe Tisha B’Av on Monday night, July 19. We will gather at 8:00 PM for Mincha, a short study session and the Erev Tisha B’Av Service with English readings and the traditional reading of Eicha (Lamentations). As in past years, we will be joined by members of Mayim Rabim Congregation and Sharei Chesed Congregation. The study session will be led by Celia Gershenson.

Tisha B’Av services continue on Tuesday at Adath Jeshurun with Shacharit at 7:20 AM and Mincha at 5:45 PM.

While Tisha B’Av is a day of fasting, work is permitted. During the reading of Eicha yahrzeit candles are lit, and it is customary to sit on the floor, in the style of mourners. You may want to bring a cushion.
