Kinnot: Poems for Jerusalem |

Rabbi Avishai David |
| In this Torah shiur (class) explaining the Kinnot (mourning poems) recited on Tisha B'Av, Rabbi Avishai David explicates the themes and structure of the kinna "Eicha Atzta B'Apecha". In this class, we examine the reaction of the Jewish people to the destruction of the exile.

| Mrs. Shira Smiles describes The Three Weeks of Mourning as a time when we observe laws of mourning in lieu of the destruction of the Temple. On a personal level we reflect on how the divine presence is in exile from ourselves. We must focus on our connection to Hashem during this time. This Torah class is available in streaming video. |

Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller |
| On the 17th of Tammuz five horrible events occurred in Jewish history. One of these events was the chet ha'agel, the sin of the golden calf. A calf symbolizes the power of the people- the Jewish people were essentially worshiping themselves. From here we learn how to have a complete connection with Hashem, G-d. This Torah class is available on streaming video. |
