Tisha b’Av at Noam

While Am Yisrael awaits redemption, Ti­sha b’Av is the day we commemorate the sac­rifice of the Jewish people during this long exile. Yeshivat Noam held its first Tisha b’Av program for the Bergen County community. Upon entry to the building, a picture of the three boys murdered in Israel by terrorists— Eyal, Gilad, and Naftali, z’l—were seen on a large poster. Rabbi Chaim Hagler led Kinnot and greatly inspired those who attended with meaningful explanations of the passages. In between each Kinna, the names of the 60 fall­en soldiers in Gaza were announced. After five Kinnot, the students broke up to explore the Kinnot in depth. After the Kinnot were com­pleted, the Chofetz Chaim Foundation vid­eo was screened. I was thankful that Yeshvi­at Noam created this program to make Tisha B’Av meaningful and inspiring for me and all who attended.
