For the Sake of Ascent: Tisha b’Av 5782
New from Bayit’s Liturgical Arts Working Group comes this offering for Tisha b’Av 5782, available both as a printable PDF and as google slides suitable for screensharing. This year many of us have been marinating in grief. Between ongoing pandemic, the climate crisis, the loss of rights in the United States, and fears for the future, we may feel that every day has become like Tisha b’Av. This year the holiday falls on Shabbat, so it will be observed on the following day — which is the first day of the Reverse Omer journey, the 49 days between Tisha b’Av and Rosh Hashanah. Our offering this year aims to harness that energy: noticing and naming what’s broken within us and around us, and letting that awareness fuel the teshuvah journey that will lift us up to build a better world.
