Members of 3 Congregations, Temple Ner Tamid of Bloomfield ,Temple B’Nai Abraham of Livingston and B’Nai Keshet of Montclair, will be marking the Tisha Ba’av with a vigil on Saturday night, noting the suffering, fear, and separation experienced by so many immigrants in our community today.

This week marks Tisha B’av, a day of mourning for the destruction of The Temple in Jerusalem. While we as Reform Jews may not fast or ritually mourn for this loss, it is a day that we pause and reflect on the suffering and destruction that is still in our world.
