Renewing the Fast in our Time
If Tisha Be'Av mourns our exile from Jerusalem and the destruction of Jewish independence in that land, why are we still fasting today? Join Rabbi Marcelo Bronstein for an exploration of the ongoing meaning and relevance of Tisha Be'Av.
A Taste of Mussar with Rabbi Rebecca Weintraub
In this series, we will dive into Mussar, the ancient form of Jewish spirituality focusing on the development of middot (character traits) to attain personal and communal holiness.
Finding Light in the Darkness
Tisha Be'Av is a day of communal mourning and grief, but in the depths of the darkness, we too can find shimmers of light. Join Rabbi Rebecca Weintraub for an exploration of the complex emotion of hope.
Bedtime Story and Shema
At the end of a long day, get ready to say goodnight as a BJ grownup reads a favorite bedtime story and sings Shema. Laila tov! Watch live on the Family Life and Learning Facebook page
Ma’ariv
Bring Tisha Be’Av to its conclusion in communal prayer with this short evening service. The fast will end at 8:44PM.
