Tisha b'Ab, Moroccan-style
Today is the festival of Tisha B'ab, the saddest day of the Jewish calendar. It is a fast day and commemorates the destruction of the two temples in Jerusalem and other disasters to have befallen the Jewish people.
Here is a Moroccan rendering by Rabbi Moshe Nahon of the kinot of Arvit (the evening service) recited before al Naharot ('By the rivers of Babylon').
