ANNOUNCEMENTS

PSALMS

We have been reading Psalms at Kohelet Shabbat services. We will continue here sequentially with excerpts and commentary.

Psalm 6

David on his sickbed and in pain speaks to us:

HaShem, do not rebuke me in your anger. Favor me for I am feeble; heal me, for my bones shudder.

I am wearied with my sigh and my tears soak my couch. My eyes are dimmed and aged.

HaShem hears the sound of my weeping and will accept my prayer shaming and confounding my foes.

Here David intends his prayer for all who are in sickness or distress but also for Israel when suffering oppression and deprivation.

-Neiel Baronberg

TISHA B'AV
Wed., July 29 at 8:00 p.m.

Tisha B'Av begins on Wednesday evening, July 29. It marks the destruction of the First and Second Temples and many other tragedies in Jewish history. It is a fast day and the lowest point in our calendar. It brings us hope, however, because from there our outlook improves. Kohelet will be observing Tisha B'Av by reading the book of Eicha (Lamentations) followed by a discussion. You will receive a Zoom link on Tuesday, July 28. Please try to be there.
