Tisha B’Av - August 9

- We will have a  combined service for BYBS and Am Echad, Saturday, August 9, 8:45 p.m. at Congregation Am Echad, 160 Westwood Dr., Park Forest. Tisha B’Av  commemorates the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, as well as other tragedies in Jewish history.  The fact that our People have established Israel has made us rethink what Tisha B’Av can mean to us after the return of Jewish Sovereignty.  The chanting of the biblical book of Lamentations with its plaintive melody is central to the service, as well as English readings.  Please plan on attending this meaningful service
