Eicha Rabbah
To lament is a natural spiritual response to hardship or disaster, and since the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE, Jews have turned to the book of Lamentations (Eicha) to connect with generations of Jews who have endured prior sufferings. Eicha Rabbah is a classical commentary on Lamentations, and contains the Jewish wisdom of recovering from disaster, making it a treasury of Judaism’s power of recovery. In this session we will gain an overview of the book and sample a few of its kernels of wisdom.
