Kinnot for the Six Million.

The destruction of the Six Million is our own generation's stark connection to the eternal Tishah B'Av. Two great and inspiring spiritual leaders of our time, The Bobover Rebbe and Rav Shimon Schwab composed Kinnos lamenting and memorializing the unspeakable tragedy. Adopted by many congregations worldwide, these painful laments are read on Tishah B’Av.

2.A Section of the Talmudic Portion Discussing the Temple’s destruction.

Impossible
By Tzvi Freeman
He could have made a world that would look at itself
and explain itself according to its own rules.
But He made a world with such rules,
that according to its own rules it cannot exist.
He wanted a world with wonder.
From the wisdom of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory

Sustained Wonder
By Tzvi Freeman
This is the meaning of a Jew and Judaism, the very meaning of the word:
To live in a state of sustained wonder. To know that there are things beyond human grasp.
That the very existence of anything at all is beyond knowing. And then to strive to know.
From the wisdom of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory
