Includes The Text of Megillas Eichaand All of The Kinnos For Tisha B'AvOn Tisha B’Av we mourn the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash. The recitation of kinnos is meant to help us grieve over the tragedies that befell the Jewish people at this time. Many of us, however, say the words of the kinnos without comprehending their meaning and therefore without truly feeling the sorrow or anguish that the day warrants. This book addresses this issue by explaining the message each kinnah is conveying.Meaningful Kinnos is based on the shiurim and writings of:Rabbi Yisroel RiesmanRabbi Jonathan SacksRabbi Yitzchak BreitowitzRabbi Yaacov HaberRabbi Ahron LopianskyRabbi Joseph B. SoloveitchikRabbi Jacob J. ShachterRabbi Noach OelbaumRabbi Dovid GottliebRabbi Hershel SchachterWritten in an easy-to-read format, Meaningful Kinnos is concise yet comprehensive.
