More Access Information below event description.Questions?: rabbi@beyttikkun.orgIf you are not in the Bay Area\, we have created a toolkit to help you organize your own Tisha b'Av service. Learn more here or register for our Tisha b'Av toolkit below to receive a free download. \nEvent Description:Tisha b’Av\, often understood as the saddest day in Jewish tradition\, invites us to grieve openly. \nIn this moment of ongoing violence and loss\, many of us are carrying grief that feels too large to hold alone: genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza\, the West Bank\, and Jerusalem; kidnapping\, torture\, and family separation by the hands of ICE; escalating attacks on trans and queer communities; ongoing war and militarism; and the heartbreaks of our own local and personal lives. \nJoin us in Berkeley for an outdoor Tisha b’Av gathering of collective mourning\, reflection\, and ritual. Together\, we will honor both historical and present-day suffering and consider what Jewish tradition asks of us in times of devastation. \nGathering on the grass by (battery-powered) candlelight\, we will read Rabbi Cat Zavis’ translations and interpretations of the Book of Lamentations\, connecting ancient texts of destruction and exile with contemporary experiences of empire\, violence\, and collective grief. We believe that creating a world rooted in justice and peace requires the courage to witness what is true. \nAs Rabbi Nachman taught: “There is nothing more whole than a broken heart.” \nTisha b’Av creates sacred space for grief\, rage\, and mourning—not in isolation\, but in community. When we gather to grieve together\, we remember we are not alone. Through shared sorrow\, we cultivate compassion\, connection\, and the possibility of transformation. \nItems to Bring or Prepare:Bring a blanket or chair to sit on or to share with others. \nCost: Attendance is free of cost. \nWe welcome donations to support Rabbi Cat’s participation in the Rabbis for Ceasefire solidarity delegation during the Olive Harvest in Palestine this October. If you make a donation\, please add this note: "Olive Harvest" \nAccess Information: \n\nWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible\nBathrooms: Public bathrooms available\nSeating/Standing: We will be sitting on grass - you are welcome to bring a chair or blanket to sit on\, or stay standing\nPublic Transportation Access: Live Oak Park is accessible by AC Transit bus lines with stops within a short walk of the park.

Gather where you are. \nThis downloadable toolkit invites individuals and communities to create their own Tisha b’Av gathering for grief\, mourning\, reflection\, and collective witnessing. \nTisha b’Av is the Jewish tradition’s annual invitation to stop\, look honestly at suffering\, and make space for heartbreak together. In a moment marked by genocide\, ethnic cleansing\, violence\, climate crisis\, and personal and communal loss\, we offer this resource to support people in creating meaningful ritual wherever you are. \nWhether you gather in a park\, a living room\, a synagogue\, or alone with a few candles\, this toolkit offers a structure for communal mourning rooted in Jewish tradition and oriented toward justice\, compassion\, and transformation. \nThe toolkit includes: \n\nRabbi Cat Zavis’ translation and interpretation of the Book of Lamentations (Eicha)\nSuggested flow for a 60–90 minute gathering\nRitual and reflection prompts\nGuidance for creating a simple\, accessible service\nSongs\, readings\, and optional closing practices\n\nNo experience leading prayer is necessary. \nAs Rabbi Nachman taught\, “There is nothing more whole than a broken heart.” We hope this toolkit helps create space to grieve together\, remember we are not alone\, and begin imagining what becomes possible afterward. \nRegister below to receive the free toolkit.

We will be observing the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (the catastrophe in Arabic)\, Palestine’s national day of remembrance for the ethnic cleansing that began then and continues today. \nOn May 15th 1948 Zionist forces attacked major Palestinian cities and destroyed more than 530 Palestinian villages killing approximately 13\,000 Palestinians and expelling more than 750\,000 Palestinians from their homes rendering them refugees. Israel celebrates May 15th\, 1948 as the birth of Israel. \nAt this shabbat service we will be casting a spell to rid Judaism of trauma based violent behavior\, zionist propaganda\, dehumanization of Palestinians. The goal will be to recenter Judaism on the sanctity of life\, justice and tikkun olam\, repair of the world. \nCOVID-Cautious Requirements:Well fitting KN95 or better masking and rapid testing are required.
