Tisha B'Av at Chabad Bay Area: Traditional Reading of Eicha (Book of Lamentations) on the Eve of the Fast, afternoon viewing of the film Denial, and a Minyan for the services at the end of the fast.

Sponsoring a Kiddush is a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion (such as a birthday or anniversary) or remember a Yahrtzeit. For a regular Shabbat the suggested amount is $180 for kiddush lunch or $360 for a larger crowd and a more elaborate lunch.

Please contact the rabbi or Malky to reserve, or to find out about other options or organizing another type of celebration or event.
