Tisha B'Av

  • Ner Shalom Zoom Sanctuary 85 La Plaza Cotati, CA, 94931 United States (map)

Led by Reb Irwin, Shoshana Fershtman, Reb Judith Goleman, Barbara Lesch McCaffry, and Atzilah Solot
on Zoom

Tisha B’Av commemorates the destruction of our Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE and again in 70 CE. Our practice of sitting together in the brokenness gives us a chance to give voice to all our grief – around climate, pandemic, and the many personal losses we have experienced. We will chant from the Book of Lamentations, offer medieval kinnot (poetry of lament), sing together, and offer our blessings for healing and comfort.

It is customary to arrive quietly without joyful greeting and to depart the same way.
