Please note:
During my Kinos presentation on Tisha B'Av I was mistaken or unclear about a few facts that I would like to correct:
1. The correct web address for Shem Olam is www.shemolam.org.il. It should not be confused with another organization with a similar name and web address, which publishes old manuscripts.
2. There is indeed a web address for the International Tracing Service and it is www.its-arolsen.org.
3. The correct name of the Rav who placed his shorn beard in his Chumash, as it appears in the front of that Chumash, is Yehuda Arye Sochaczewsky, and he lived in Kalish, before entering the Lodz ghetto.
4. Several people have written to say that the source for the statement "Mann D'Nafach Midelay Nafach" (= He who breathes out, breathes out a part of Himself) is the Zohar, and that the Baal HaTanya mentions the Zohar as the source of the statement. However, the various reference works I have consulted either do not have the quote, or refer to the Baal HaTanya and comment that it is not to be found in the standard editions of the Zohar. Rav Steinsaltz, in his Biur Tanya, Iggeres HaTeshuvah page 67, quotes the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt"l as saying that it has its source in the books of "Kadmonim in the name of Razal". If anyone can shed further light on the matter, please do so.
5. Finally, the correct phrasing of the words said by Rabbi Moshe Fuller during his final illness is: "Some people tell G-d how great their problems are. I tell my problems how great G-d is."
I am sure there were other mistakes. Thank you for listening, and thank you for your feedback.

Jewish year, when we mourn the destruction of the first and second
sacred Temples in Jerusalem, and our exile. More information

Kinot For Our Time
The destruction of the Six Million is our stark connection to the eternal Tisha B'Av. Two great and inspiring spiritual leaders of our time, The Bobover Rebbe and Rav Shimon Schwab composed Kinot lamenting and memorializing the unspeakable tragedy. In recent years, many congregations have adopted the practice of reciting these Kinot on the evening or morning of Tisha B'Av. We present these Kinot, with our translation, as a public service.

The Talmud on the Destruction
The classic Torah study for Tisha B'Av study is the series of Talmudic narratives about the destruction of the Second Temple. Included are narratives of the internal struggle between the leaders of the nation and the instigators of war. For the benefit of
our readers, we present a section of this Talmudic portion (Gittin
55b-56a), adapted from the Schottenstein Edition of Talmud Bavli. | ||||||||||||
