Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation's Annual Tisha B'Av Event
After eighteen years, the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation's annual Tisha B'Av event has become a household word. In some seven hundred locations around the world, people gather on Tisha B'Av afternoon for guidance and inspiration from some of the Torah world's greatest leaders and speakers. These people, seeking to grow spiritually on the Jewish world's saddest day, never leave disappointed. Over the years, CCHF has received feedback from thousands of viewers who have credited the Tisha B'Av video with inspiring significant changes No wonder Tisha B'Av event has become the largest Torah event in the world. This year’s event, which falls on Tuesday, July 20, is expected to reach tens of thousands of people in sixteen countries.
The theme of this year's event, entitled, Emuna: Our One Safe Harbor, is one of today’s most pressing spiritual issues: strengthening and maintaining our Emuna in troubled times. Given the suffering that many Jewish families face, the topic could not be more timely. To address this most sensitive of topics, the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation has yet again lined up speakers known for their eloquence and the emotional power of their words.
The event features lectures by Lakewood Mashgiach Hagaon HaRav Matisyahu Solomon, Rabbi Paysach Krohn, and Rabbi Fishel Schacter. Viewers will also hear a brief message from Hagaon HaRav Shmuel Kamenetsky, the Philadelphia Rosh Yeshiva. The program aims to help the viewer reach greater heights in Emunah and apply what they learn to their lives.
Locally, the video can be seen at Beth Hamidrash Synagogue, at 6:45 PM on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 3231 Heather Street (enter from back lane).
