Announcements #048: Tisha B'Av Kinot Online at WebYeshiva.org with Rabbi Chaim Brovender

Our sages have taught us that one who grieves over the destruction of Jerusalem shall merit seeing its rebuilding. Join Rabbi Chaim Brovender in mourning over the exile, and studying about the meaning of the day - and may we all merit to see the rebuilding of Jerusalem.

On Tisha B'Av, this Sunday, August 10th, join Rabbi Brovender live, online at WebYeshiva.org for an examination of Kinot (the lamentation poems recited on the Ninth of Av). This special event is FREE.

Rabbi Brovender will explain the themes of various Kinot, with a close examination of the text and ideas. What was the historical background of the Kinot? Who are the authors of the Kinot? What themes in the Kinot resonate in modern times?
