Tisha B'Av Program 2018
8:30 am: Or Chaim Minyan, 159 Almore Ave., Toronto
Shacharit and selected Kinnot with explanations by Rabbi Ari Perl
Touching the Tisha B'Av Tragedies: A Kinot Journey through Jewish History. Join Rabbi Ari Perl for a participatory journey through Jewish history, using historical readings to "relive" some of the most calamitous events of the past 2,000 years. After "experiencing" each tragedy, a Kinah (poem of lament) written in response to that specific tragedy will be read responsively, in a way that captures its full emotional impact.
1:00 pm: Shaarei Shomayim Congregation, 470 Glencairn Ave., Toronto.
Program begins with the film Raise the Roof, winner of 6 film festival awards, followed by
