 Weekly Wednesday 

Round Table Discussion
10:30am - 12:30pm

The Sons of Jacob, that is, The Tribes of Israel

Evelyn Kinsella and Linda Clark will be leading the discussion.

The foundation of this study is the Holy Scriptures, but studied in the light of the “symbolic meaning of the Tribes of Israel in these last days.”

Using Gwen Shaw’s in-depth study on the 13 tribes of Israel, this round table discussion will look at the natural Tribes and their descendants and from these be able to identify the spiritual tribes, even physical Gentiles who will fulfill the callings, inheritances and destiny of the original Tribes of Israel.

Each member of this Round Table Discussion may begin to see character traits of the sons of Jacob in themselves and learn from this the future that may be theirs. Join us, Wednesdays, 10:30 pm to noon for this Round Table Discussion with Evelyn Kinsella and Linda Clark.

Weekly Friday
Restorers of Israel meets for Prayer for Israelstrong
2 pm – 4 pm
Friday Afternoons

“Spiritually, the gatherings are regularly filled with power and the Presence of the LORD. However, His power and Presence always manifests in a different manner, which keeps everyone in great anticipation each week. In most of the meetings we are blessed with live worship to assist us in drawing near to the LORD and then we move back and forth between worship and intercession.” Quay Messner, prayer leader.

Tisha B'Av

Please pray for the protection of the Jewish Community around the world on July 20th, the 9th of Av

• Significance: Remembers major communal tragedies
• Observances: Fasting; reading the book of Lamentations
• Length: 25 hours
• Customs: Torah cabinet is draped in black

Five misfortunes befell our fathers ... on the ninth of Av. ...On the ninth of Av it was decreed that our fathers should not enter the [Promised] Land, the Temple was destroyed the first and second time, Bethar was captured and the city [Jerusalem] was ploughed up. -Mishnah Ta'anit 4:6

...Should I weep in the fifth month [Av], separating myself, as I have done these so many years? -Zechariah 7:3

In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month ...came Nebuzaradan ... and he burnt the house of the L-RD... -II Kings 25:8-9

In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month... came Nebuzaradan ... and he burnt the house of the L-RD... - Jeremiah 52:12-13

How then are these dates to be reconciled? On the seventh the heathens entered the Temple and ate therein and desecrated it throughout the seventh and eighth and towards dusk of the ninth they set fire to it and it continued to burn the whole of that day. ... How will the Rabbis then [explain the choice of the 9th as the date]? The beginning of any misfortune [when the fire was set] is of greater moment. -Talmud Ta'anit 29a

Tisha B'Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which coincidentally have occurred on the ninth of Av. Tisha B'Av means "the ninth (day) of Av." It usually occurs during August.

Tisha B'Av primarily commemorates the destruction of the first and second Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth of Av (the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E.; the second by the Romans in 70 C.E.).

Although this holiday is primarily meant to commemorate the destruction of the Temple, it is appropriate to consider on this day the many other tragedies of the Jewish people, many of which occurred on this day, most notably the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.

1 Tisha B'Av is the culmination of a three week period of increasing mourning, beginning with the fast of the 17th of Tammuz, which commemorates the first breach in the walls of Jerusalem, before the First Temple was destroyed. During this three week period, weddings and other parties are not permitted, and people refrain from cutting their hair. From the first to the ninth of Av, it is customary to refrain from eating meat or drinking wine (except on the Shabbat) and from wearing new clothing.

The restrictions on Tisha B'Av are similar to those on Yom Kippur: to refrain from eating and drinking (even water); washing, bathing, shaving or wearing cosmetics; wearing leather shoes; engaging in sexual relations; and studying Torah. Work in the ordinary sense of the word [rather than the Shabbat sense] is also restricted. People who are ill need not fast on this day. Many of the traditional mourning practices are observed: people refrain from smiles, laughter and idle conversation, and sit on low stools.

In synagogue, the book of Lamentations is read and mourning prayers are recited. The ark (cabinet where the Torah is kept) is draped in black.
