Clergy Corner

By Rabbi Jeffrey Abraham

Summer seems devoid of holidays and activities in the Jewish calendar and Jewish world in general. There is one day the rab-

bis deemed of major importance during the summer months: Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of the month of Av. Tisha B'Av com-

memorates the day the First and Second Temples were destroyed. This was the day the spies sent to Canaan brought back the

discouraging report; it was also the day our forefathers were told they would not enter the Land of Israel (in parsha Shelach),

the expulsion from Spain in 1492 and the outbreak of World War I which was prelude to World War II and the savage destruc-

tion of six million Jews.

Tisha B' Av and Yom Kippur are the only 24 hour fast days. This year Tisha B' Av begins Saturday night, July 21, at sundown.

There is but one major difference compared with Yom Kippur -- we are allowed to work when not in services.

We lament our collective suffering by reading from the Book of Eicha with particular emphasis on the destruction of both Tem-

ples. Some have suggested that since Jerusalem is now integrated into the State of Israel, Tisha B'Av has lost its meaning. The

prevailing view is the “events cannot be undone,” and as Maimonides notes, “it is a constant stimulus for repentance and

good deeds.” If nothing else, it is a reminder we are all connected as Jews.

While we spend a full day in our state of mourning (we do not even exchange customary greetings), we then come together as

a people to comfort one another. The Shabbat immediately following is known as “Shabbat Nachamu” from the Haftarah

where Isaiah begins “Nachamu, Nachamu Ami,” “Comfort, Comfort My People.” Isaiah reminds us that even after the trage-

dies, we always come together to comfort each other and move forward. There are seven Shabbatot leading up to Rosh

Hashanah known as the Sabbaths of Consolation. We are “consoled” knowing that we will soon be renewed on the High Holy

Days.

It is not all doom and gloom. Five days after Tisha B' Av we have Tu B' Av, the 15th of Av. It is a minor holiday known as the

Day of Love. The Talmud (Tannit 30b) tells us it was the day all unmarried girls would dance the streets of Jerusalem dressed

in white (apparently looking for their mates). These days, it is a time to remember the importance of the loves in our lives, as

well. In Israel it is the beginning of the harvest season and a time for weddings, commitment ceremonies, the renewal of

vows and proposing. At Agudas we will have a Tu B'Av Shabbat service and Potluck Dinner Friday, July 27, at 6:15 PM as we

celebrate love and the togetherness of our community.

My prayer for all of us as we go through this summer together is that we remember the hard times in our lives, while we take

time to comfort each other, as well, and move our community to even greater heights!

Mission Statement

Congregation Agudas Achim is a sacred community committed to the egalitarian

traditions and ideals of Conservative Judaism. We are guided by the principles of

Torah (study), Avodah (meaningful worship), and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness). We

strive to connect each generation with the values and principles of our Jewish past, the moral/

ethical demands of the present, and the energy to build for a Jewish tomorrow.
