The story · English

Every year on the night of Tisha B'Av, thousands gather to hear Rabbi Yitzhak Panger's deeply moving and tearful speech about the destruction of the Holy Temple. This year, the powerful address was delivered at the new Nezer Yisrael Yeshiva hall in Kiryat Sefer. The event was broadcast live by Kikar HaShabbat, allowing a wider audience to experience the solemn reflections.

The speech is part of the traditional mourning practices on Tisha B'Av, a day commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. The gathering also included the Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, who recited kinot (lamentations) at his study hall in Jerusalem, emphasizing the communal grief over the burning of the Torah.

This annual event serves as a poignant reminder of Jewish history and loss, fostering a collective sense of mourning and spiritual renewal among attendees and viewers alike.
