Cong. Rinat Yisrael will be showing several excellent videos in the new sanctuary during the afternoon of Tisha B'av.
At 3:45 pm, there will be a showing of a one hour video produced by Yeshiva University's Center for the Jewish Future:
Rabbi Kenneth Brander (David Mitzner Dean, CJF)
The tragedy of the Second Temple - The importance of treating all Jews with respect and love, as a precursor to the redemption.
Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff (Faculty, Stern College for Women)
Building Our Homes and Building the Temple - The importance of bein adam l'chaveiro, with a specific focus on how we treat our spouses. Rabbi Hajiof previously worked for MTV as a stand-up comedian, and his insightful lecture
is also entertaining, while appropriate for Tisha B'av.
At 4:45 pm, there will be a showing of an emotionally gripping 50 minute video produced by Torah Umesorah:
"Sh'eiris Hapleitah" presents the inspiring narrative of the concentration camp survivors after their liberation and their struggle to rebuild their lives in the Displaced Persons camps. Using original footage, the film focuses on the survivors' resilience and determination to reestablish their Jewish lives, families and communities in the aftermath of the Holocaust. This documentary is the second in the Yizkereim: Remember series, the first of which was "Shangai Miracle", which was shown in many venues around the world to great acclaim.
Please join us.
Have an easy and meaningful fast.
