The 9th of Av is one of the most serious Jewish fast days of the year, it is a full fast like Yom Kippur and it begins at sundown Tonight (Monday night). We will be having the traditional reading of Eicha (lamentations) followed by a very powerful film entitled “Hiding and Seeking” which follows an observant Jewish fathers concerns that his children are being radicalized. The film brings up very important issues in regards to hate, tolerance and Jewish reactions to the non jewish world in an era where they experienced a Holocaust. BYOP Bring Your Own Pillow, the custom is to sit on the floor during the most sad day as in the time of mourning.
