On the holiday of Tisha B’Av, we mourn the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, the expulsions of the Jews from England in 1290 and Spain in 1492, and many other tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people on this day throughout history.
Erev Tisha B’Av Arucha Mafseket, Program, & Service
Wednesday, July 22nd • 6:00pm Dinner
7:00pm Film Screening & Discussion • 8:30pm Ma’ariv Service
Join us for a meaningful evening as we gather to reflect on Jewish history, resilience, and the enduring questions of Jewish peoplehood.
Our evening will begin with dinner, followed by a screening and discussion of Theodor Herzl: The Man Behind Israel. In this thought-provoking documentary, David Baddiel examines the life and legacy of Theodor Herzl, the visionary founder of modern Zionism, and explores how his dream of a Jewish homeland shaped the creation of the State of Israel and continues to influence the challenges and conflicts of today. Learn more and see the trailer here.
Following the film, we will come together for a Tisha B’Av Ma’ariv service (in-person or via livestream) including the reading of the Megillat Eicha, the Scroll of Lamentations.
Whether you come for the film, the discussion it inspires, or the spiritual observance of Tisha B’Av, we invite you to join us for an evening of learning, reflection, and community.
