As Reb Zalman writes in his book, Paradigm Shift, (pp. 68-69), “We have yet to attend to the Holocaust liturgically, with only a few notable exceptions…  I have written a Hebrew version of a lamentation prayer (kinah) on Auschwitz in the style of the medieval kinot, with an English rendition.  Both can be chanted to the melody of Eli Zion V’areha.”  Please consider including Reb Zalman’s “Dirge for Auschwitz” in your Tisha B’Av ritual.  Gabbai Seth Fishman, BLOG Editor
