You must like young children and be able to help with getting the children in the various rooms, checking to see that they are registered for the groups, passing out books, helping maintain discipline, distributing snacks and supervising playground time. Each group will have an adult leader and two aides at all times.

Tisha B'Av 5770
Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, will be observed at Tikvat Israel during the evening service on Monday, July 19, and at morning and afternoon services on Tuesday, July 20. We will be joined at these services by our friends from Shaare Tefila.
 
Tisha B'Av commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem in 586 BCE and 70 CE, respectively, and is the culmination of a three-week period that began on the minor fast day of Shiva Asar B'Tammuz (17th of Tammuz). It is a full day of mourning and fasting in the Jewish calendar.


Please join us on July 19 and 20 for our solemn observance of Tisha B'Av.
