Megillas Eichah, which mourns the destruction of Yerushalayim, is read in shul, followed by the recitation of Kinnos lamenting the loss of the Botei Mikdosh and Yerushalayim. The day has become one of mourning for all tragedies that have occurred to the Jewish people.

Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation Tisha B’Av Presentation 5776
Bringing Healing and Shalom to Jews Across the Globe
The Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation Tisha B’Av Event has become a powerful force in healing rifts and stopping feuds in communities throughout the world. It is not only the inspiration for people torn by estrangement and machlokes to make shalom, but the actual venue for many of these reconciliations as well.

Gathering together with fellow Jews in 700 sites, in 16 countries around the world, gives special power to the speakers’ inspiring yet sensible words. People who have been harboring a little grudge have sought each other out after the event. Sometimes they say “I’m sorry.” Sometimes they just give that extra-friendly smile that lets the other person know the air is clear between them.
“Nothing brings home a real feeling of ahavas Yisroel like being together with other Jews, and knowing that all over the world, Jews are hearing the same words,” says one attendee. “There’s a real sense of purpose people have when they leave the Event.”
This year, that sense of purpose is summarized by the Event’s title: “Opening the Door: The Power of Ahavas Yisrael to Unlock the Geulah.” The message will be brought home in two different programs, each featuring world-renowned speakers.
Both programs will bring attendees the heartfelt words of Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, the Philadelphia rosh yeshiva and rabbinic advisor of the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation, as well as Rav Yitzchok Dovid Grossman, founder and dean of Migdal Ohr.
Program A presents Rabbi Paysach Krohn and Rabbi Yissocher Frand. Program B presents Rabbi Y.Y. Jacobson and Rabbi Warren Goldstein.
Through words, warmth and shining example, the programs are certain to open hearts and increase the flow of ahavas Yisroel all around the world. But perhaps the most powerful inspiration is the feeling of being there, part of a gathering of Jews whose very presence expresses the longing to come together and finally reclaim the ties that bind us together as one family.
