During the hottest time of the summer, when the land of Israel is parched and dry, we pause for the holiday of Tisha B’AvThe holiday on which the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem is commemorated through fasting and prayers.. It commemorates the destruction of the first and second temples in Jerusalem and provides the opportunity to mourn for the suffering of our people and suffering throughout the world. Other minor fast days remind us of additional events from our shared history, and provide opportunities for reflection in our hectic lives.
When do we lament? / I looked through all my poetry / To find one to share / As a new retelling of / Our communal lament
I am here, standing in the desert. / I wear heavy clothing that will protect me from bullets, / but not from my hurting heart.
