Walking Around the Walls of the Old City ... A Tisha B'av You Will Always
Remember!
Tisha B'av Evening - Saturday night, July 28, 2001
Rabbis Mordechai Elon and Sholom Gold will lead the walk of thousands of our
people who are observing an old Jerusalem custom of walking around the walls
of the Old City.
At 9:00 p.m., Eicha will be read near the American Consulate on Agron
Street. Bring an Israeli flag, Megillat Eicha and a flashlight or candle to
help you follow the reading.
(From Beit Shemesh, we'll get there in time for this:)
10:00 p.m.: Our walk will begin. We will pass Jaffa Gate, the New Gate,
Damascus Gate and Herod's Gate. At the Lion's Gate we will assemble to
proclaim our eternal bond to the Temple Mount, where our First and Second
Temples stood, and where the Third Temple will be built, speedily, and in
our days. We will end our walk at the Dung Gate (near the Western Wall).
We have a police permit for the event. Come with your whole family, friends
and neighbors. The walk itself takes about 40 minutes.
