For the first Tisha B’Av after Oct. 7, new liturgy and traditions mourn a fresh tragedy, By Jackie Hajdenberg August 9, 2024
"...“It’s like there is a structure that is built into Tisha B’Av to create this container for grief,” said Rabbi Avi Strausberg, senior director of national learning initiatives at the egalitarian Hadar Institute. “I feel like sometimes we have to work hard to find the personal relevance to Tisha B’Av,” she added, but “this Tisha B’Av, I think, is just a wholly different experience.”
Haroush is one of a few Israelis who have turned to writing kinnot to grieve the losses of Oct. 7. Another kina by Nurit Hirschfeld-Skupinsky, a professor of midrash in Israel who is from Kibbutz Nahal Oz, another site of the attack, begins with the same words as Lamentations: “O How She Sat Alone.”
