Presented by Torah Initiatives

Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb

From Haunted History to Hopeful Horizons
Description: We will be discussing and reciting a number of traditional Kinos. Our primary focus will be the destruction of the two Batei Mikdash, Holy Temples and the contemporary significance of those events. We will also examine works pertaining to other catastrophic events, ranging from the Crusades and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain to the Holocaust and recent acts of terror and antisemitism.
