Shabbat, August 6th
Mincha at 5:45 PM
There will be no Seudah Shlishit in Shul following Mincha. Your Seudah Shlishit at home needs to conclude by sundown, 7:49 PM. As Erev Tisha B’Av is Shabbat, there is no Seudah Hamafseket (mournful meal just prior to the fast beginning) this year. We eat Seudah Shlishit as normal.
When Shabbat ends at 8:31 PM, we recite the simplest formula of Havdalah, the four words ברוך המבדיל בין קודש לחול , and then we recite the
בורא מאורי האש over the Havdalah candle. We replace our shoes with non-leather shoes and proceed to shul as quickly as possible. We can drive if we wish. We will begin Ma'ariv at 8:50 PM promptly, and Ma'ariv will be followed by the reading of Eicha.
Tisha B'Av Evening (2 Locations)
There will be two venues for Ma'ariv & Eicha, each beginning at 8:50 PM:
(1) BDJ Social Hall - with introductory comments from Rav Yosef
(2) Bick-Katz Backyard, 1514 S. Doheny Dr. Feel free to bring blankets, chairs, and/or flashlights. Men and women will each be reading chapters of Eicha.
Tisha B'av Morning
8:30 AM: At Beth Jacob for Annual Joint BDJ-YICC-BJ-KI Shacharit & Kinnot (No Shacharit at BDJ). The Kinnot will be illuminated and explained by our community Rabbis and teachers before we recite them. During the last hour of the program (approximately 11:45 - 12:45) we will view the film Swimming in Auschwitz .
Tisha B'Av Afternoon (2 Times / Locations)
6:00 PM: Annual Mincha/Learning/Maariv with the larger Pico-Robertson Jewish Community at Temple Beth Am. We are grateful to Temple Beth Am for hosting, and for providing a space for Orthodox Tefilla. (Please remember Tallit and Tefillin for Mincha.) The theme of this year's learning program is Rupture and Resilience and will feature shiurim led by Rav Yosef and by clergy from Beth Am and IKAR. Please note that the entire program will take outdoors.
As part of the Tisha B’av program at Beth Am we will be collecting School Supplies for students in refugee and immigrant families. Please consider bringing and donating an item such as a backpack, notebook, writing utensils, calculators, etc.
