Tisha B’Av
Pre Tisha B’Av Pardes Special Thursday 4 August, 13:00-14:00 On Tisha B'Av, some may choose to observe the mourning practice of refraining from listening to music. But the "music" of Tisha B'Av, the special trope used to chant the Book of Lamentations, grounds us in place and time and enables us to engage with the text of Eicha in a deeper way. Join Cantor Tamara for an exploration of the Eicha cantillation mode and its significance as we approach Tisha B'Av. Erev Tisha B’Av Saturday 6 August, 22:00-23:00 Join Cantor Tamara, Rabbi Hannah and Student Rabbi Nicola Feuchtwang for an evening of study, song, and the chanting of Lamentations as we explore the meaning of Tisha B'Av in our current moment.
Tisha B’Av Sunday Shacharit Sunday 7 August, 9:00-10:30 Student Rabbi Nicola Feuchtwang joins our special lay-led minyan will also include a short study session on Tisha B’Av.
