Lamenting Together: Community Eicha Reading
Hosted By: My Jewish Learning
My Jewish Learning presents a Tisha B’Av observance with Rabbi Julia Andelman centered on the reading of Megillat Eicha, the Book of Lamentations, whose chanting mimics the sounds of crying and helps listeners more fully feel this moment of sadness. The theologically challenging text is offered as a communal moment of grief in a year when sadness comes from many directions. The session invites participants to find meaning and hope in this cathartic mourning ritual.
