A Contemporary Kinah for Tisha B’Av

When do we lament? / I looked through all my poetry / To find one to share / As a new retelling of / Our communal lament
Hineni: A Kavanah for Tisha B’Av

I am here, standing in the desert. / I wear heavy clothing that will protect me from bullets, / but not from my hurting heart.
Lamentations

“I cried out for my friends (1:19), /
‘See the distress I am in!’ (1:20). /
There was no one to comfort me” (1:21). /
“My heart is sick” (1:22)
My Heart is Before You

In awe of the majestic beauty of nature
No Matter How Many Times

“Adonai, how beautiful is Your name”
