FRAMINGHAM – Today, on July 9, Temple Beth Am, together with the Greater Boston Jewish Community, will pause and reflect as we mourn all those lost during the COVID pandemic thus far.
Our 15 minutes together will include personal reflections, ritual and the dedication of a new community memorial.
“We chose the 17 of Tammuz, Shivah Asar B’Tammuz, because this date is already a day of mourning in our tradition. 17 of Tammuz is a minor fast day that marks the beginning of the three week mourning period leading up to 9 of Av, Tisha B’Av,” announced the organizers.
“We recognize this time in the Jewish calendar as we mourn and remember the many calamities upon calamities that have befallen the Jewish people,” said the organizers.
