CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN Tisha b’Av: a sacred time of despair

  • UU Lawn 152 Pearl Street Burlington, VT, 05401 United States (map)

CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN. Tisha b’Av, Saturday, July 17th, 8pm. The wisdom of the Jewish calendar invites us to experience the full range of human emotions, including mourning and despair. Through ritual, we safely engage in the important elements of loss which, ironically, propels us towards hope. We will chant Lamentations (text will be provided, or bring your version). Bring some paper and pencil. But most of all, bring your whole self to this astounding moment of descent that leads to our ascent towards the Holy Days ahead.

We’ll gather on the side yard of the Universalist Unitarian Meeting House at the top of Church Street. Cancelled in the event of rain.
