Tish’ah Be’Av 2025 – Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd
Temple Israel of Great Neck and Congregation L’Dor V’dor invites everyone to dim their lights and join us to observe Tish’ah Be’av, commemorating the Destruction of the First Temple (in 586 BCE) and the Second Temple (in 70 CE) in Jerusalem, and the exile of the Jewish People.
This solemn day reflects the greatest tragedies of Jewish history (including the Holocaust), but also serves as a reminder that the Jewish tradition of renewal is alive in Israel and in America.
