Tisha B’Av, the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av, is a day of mourning for the Jewish community. It is the day the Jewish community remembers the destruction of both Temples that once stood in Jerusalem as well as a number of other tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people over the course of history.

On Tisha B’Av we read from the Book of Lamentations (Megillat Eicha). See below for more on the rituals and practices associated with Tisha B’Av as well as a link to listen to the reading of Megillat Eicha via livestream by Camp Ramah Nyack Staff in New York:
