• Tisha Be'Av (July 26-27). To help make the fast more meaningful, the Education Committee has organized a number of activities on Tisha Be'Av. Both at night and in the morning, we will be saying selected Kinot. Rabbi Prof.Aryeh Frimer will be explaining the themes and difficult langiage in those selected Kinot. The explanations will be in Hebrew Tisha Be’Av night and in English during Shacharit. Rabbi Motti Goldreich will be giving his annual shiur on the Maharal’s understanding of selected Midrashim that deal with the Churban immediately after Shacharit. An hour and a half before Mincha (at 17:45) there will be a Zoom activity given by our own Marty Hershkovitz: The Jewish people do not believe in silence as a response to tragedy. Yirmiyahu exhorts his people to confront the tragedy of Tisha Be’Av by expressing the pain: “Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord” (Eicha 2:19). Tisha Be'Av is a day on which we remember our tragedies and our deep suffering as a people and we should include our most proximate “Churban”, the Shoah. Our member, Martin Herskovitz, a second-generation Holocaust survivor, feels the failure of current society and religious practice to connect to Holocaust memory and to mourn. He felt the need to find the way to words and to memory where there was once silence. Marty has written his own series of Kinot and will lead a discussion (in English, with Hebrew readings) about each person's path to creating a personal narrative to remembrance based on his own path to memory and healing.

• Garbage / trash / debris / rubbish / arctic wrappers...Whatever you want to call it, it belongs in only one place, the trashcan. The mess that is left on the campus following the kiddush is unacceptable, and frankly, embarrassing. Please take responsibility for yourselves and those around you, and leave the campus clean...and thank you to those who do clean up on an ongoing basis.
• Volunteers needed to give Divrei Torah for Parshiot in Sefer Devarim. Please contact Mechael Kanovsky.
