Event Details

Tisha B’Av is the day in the Jewish calendar that holds all our grief and anger for the many acts of violence our people has suffered throughout our history. Join us at Base LNCLN as we move into this difficult and important moment on the evening of July 22nd.

We will have a pre-fast community meal at 7:00PM

Following this, we will join together for a kumzitz, an opportunity for spiritual singing as we transition into the sad mood of the day, around 8:00PM. At around 9:00PM, we will daven Maariv and we will read Eicha, the beautiful and troubling Biblical book of Lamentations and chant kinot, the traditional devastating poems of mourning.

We hope you will join us for this evening of shared prayer, singing, and remembrance. Although we will be remembering the tragic events of our past, may we also find the strength in our community when we gather together.
