Tisha B’Av—the 9th day of the month of Av—is one of the most solemn days on the Jewish calendar. It is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period of time during which we mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Beth Tzedec is offering several programs and services to mark this sorrowful chapter in Jewish history. 

We look forward to welcoming you as mark Tisha B'Av as a community.
