Tisha B'Av Program 2020

Torah in Motion sponsors programming for Tisha B'Av annually. Our program enables one to truly understand and feel the losses that we experienced, and sharpens our ability to focus on the mourning required on this day.

While there is no charge for the shiurim, donations are very much appreciated.

Thank you. 

Tentative schedule. All times are Eastern.
