Join us for an observance of Tishah B'Av where we will look at the destruction that occured in our past as a catalyst for transformation through the acknowledgment of what is broken. Our observance will include a new understanding of the traditional text of Eicha (Lamentations), candle lighting, and worship.

We will reflect on the prophets’ and rabbis’ views of the people’s shortcomings in ancient times and begin to recognize in ourselves the need for our personal repentance for transgressions in our own day. Through contemplative music and readings, we will search for better modes of living in this complex world.

Register to join us on Zoom to participate in the worship (you will receive the Zoom link by email), or watch us live on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/templebethelmadison/live (you do not need to have a Facebook account).
