Congregation Beit Tefilah to hold Tisha B'Av Memorial Service
The Jewish Memorial Day, The Fast of the Ninth of the Jewish month of Av, Tisha b'Av, marks the end of a three-week period of mourning during which our people remember the series of events that led to the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of our people's first Temple on that date in the year 586 BCE.
Tisha B'Av is on Shabbat this year, and the fast is therefore postponed for Sunday, the tenth of Av. The fast starts at sundown on Shabbat, the ninth of Av, August 6, 7:47 PM, and lasts until the following nightfall, Sunday, August 7, 8:15 PM. During this time-period we fast, eschew pleasurable activities, and lament the destruction of the Holy Temple and our nation’s exile.
On the eve of Tisha B’Av, we gather in the synagogue to read the Book of Lamentations. Tallit and Tefillin are not worn during the morning prayers. After the morning prayers we recite Kinot (elegies). We put on the Tallit and Tefillin for the afternoon prayers.
To commemorate this day, Congregation Beit Tefilah will hold a Tisha B’Av Memorial Service with the reading of the Book of Lamentations, known as the Book of Eicha by candlelight. This will take place on Saturday night, August 6, at 8:45 PM.
On Sunday, August 7, Congregation Beit Tefilah Chabad will have a Tisha B'Av Mincha Service and Torah reading at 6:45 PM and will be followed by a light breakfast after dark. For more information or to learn more about Tisha B'Av go to chabadnashville.com.
Torah and Tea - for Women by Women
Join an all-woman Torah and Tea leadership study group every Shabbat, following the sit down lunch, at congregation Beit Tefilah Chabad, at 1:00 PM. The study group is led by Rebetzen Esther Tiechtel, who teaches with wisdom and wit, and embraces each participant with warmth and friendship.
Torah and Tea will bring you this tradition of classical Jewish learning in a series of clear and engaging weekly classes. Probing the ideas and issues related to the modern Jewish woman, these classes will offer timely lessons -from the most timeless of all texts.
Join with fellow women from the Nashville community, for inspiring Torah study, warm camaraderie, hot tea and delicious refreshments!
