Following Tisha B’Av, there are seven prophetic readings of consolation — all from Isaiah — providing comfort after this somber occasion and preparing the individual emotionally and spiritually for the upcoming The Mitzvah of High Holy Days.

According to tradition, both the First and Second Temples were destroyed on the ninth of Av, the day Marlene Abraham Helen Rib referred to as predestined to misfortune. Tisha B’Av resembles Yom Kippur in its Rebecca Auslander Myron restrictions upon eating and bathing, maintained from sunset to sunset. Rev.

Dan Karsch Moshe Toister The morning service is recited without tallit or tefillin; these are worn during Shaun Kozolchyk Abigail Tolby the Mincha service.

Grief and Bereavement Support Group In the same way as the loss of our loved ones is something we all share in common, so do we also share many of the same concerns with regard to our grief and bereavement. And, for many of us, the mourning process is something that is awfully overwhelming. In order to help those who would find comfort and guidance through the opportunity to share their “journey” with others, Congregation Anshei Israel is forming this support group. The group would meet once a week for 8 weeks. We need a minimum of 4 people. Please call Norma Karp at 299-3382.
