Rabbi Steven Weil, OU Senior Managing Director, will be visiting the Atlanta community over Tisha B’Av. He will be leading the national OU Tisha B’Av program entitled, “River of Tears.” You can attend in person at Congregation Beth Jacob (1855 LaVista) in partnership with Young Israel of Toco Hills on Sunday, July 22nd from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Child Care is available. Registration is required. This program may also be accessed via webcast any time during the day by visiting www.ou.org/tishabav.

Please join together this Tisha B'Av not just by fasting, but following the advice of the prophet Isaiah and many great rabbis throughout the ages, and taking the few dollars saved from abstaining from food, and donating them to Fast for Feast for hunger relief. Your fast will be transformed into a feast for our brothers and sisters in Israel, and support the hunger relief work of Yad L'Yad here in the Atlanta community. Please visit www.fastforfeast.org/yith to make a donation, which will lessen the darkness of Tisha B'Av by bringing a little light to others. Last year YITH raised over $1500 during this time. Thank you for your continued generosity in support of those in need in our community.
