Rabbi Avishai David |
| In this Torah shiur (class) on the kinnot of Tisha B'Av, Rabbi Avishai David explains the background and meaning of the kinna by Elazar haKalir entitled 'V'ata amarta, heitiv eitiv imach', (and You said, "I will be do many kindnesses to you"). In this kinna, the special relationship of the Jewish People with Hashem as promised in the desert and as seen throughout Jewish history seems to be shattered, as troubles and tribulations are unleashed on the Jewish nation during the time of the Churban (destruction of the Beit Hamikdash/Temple). This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |

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.

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. |
