Kicking Off the Month at Beit Avi Chai: Av

Beit Avi Chai presents Kicking Off the Month–Av

Av: Trouble comes in bunches

The month of Av brings us lots of negative events in Jewish history. Is this coincidental or deliberate?

Moderator: Prof. Avigdor Shinan

With:

Dr. Noah Hacham, Hebrew University: “Five things befell our forefathers on the ninth of Av”

Dr. Shelly Goldberg, Bar-Ilan University: “Make a window for the ark”-trouble (tzarah) and windows (tzohar) in kabbalistic thought

Musical accompaniment: Orit Perlman
