Meaningful Kinnos: Kinnos for Tisha B’Av with Explanations (Hebrew Edition) [Hebrew]

By: A. Broder

-- Hebrew text; English explanations & commentary -- Tisha B'Av commemorates several catastrophes, most notably the destruction of both Batei Mikdash ( Holy Temples ). A main component of the day is the recitation of kinnos ( elegies), which is meant to help us grieve over this tragedy. Kinnos are said by men and women, whether in Shul or at home. Meaningful Kinnos attempts to enhance the reader's spiritual and emotional connection to the kinnos by explaining the theme and message behind each kinnah, often with English commentary alongside the Hebrew text. Meaningful Kinnos is based on shiurim and writings of Rabbi Yisroel Riesmann, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter, Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz, Rabbi Noach Oelbaum, Rabbi Yaacov Haber, Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb, Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky, and Rabbi Hershel Schachter. Written in an easy-to-read format, Meaningful Kinnos is concise yet comprehensive. By including the text of all the kinnos recited both in the evening and morning, as well as Megillas Eicha and the Torah reading for Tisha B'Av, this book contains everything needed for the Tisha B'Av service. PRAISE FOR MEANINGFUL KINNOS: " I commend the author for providing this guide to the Kinnos. I am confident that it will contribute to making the recitation of the Kinnos more understandable and hence more meaningful as its title suggests." - RABBI ZEV LEFF "Making Tisha B'Av meaningful is a great challenge. The excellent elucidation of the main and varied themes of the Kinnos contained in Meaningful Kinnos will no doubt help many people connect to the texts and, as a result, have a more meaningful Tisha B'Av experience." - RABBI DOVID GOTTLIEB "The author has done a great service to the English-speaking public, by offering to us a commentary and explanation of each and every kinah, delving into both the choice of words, as well as the fundamental message of each section. The content is both thought provoking and informative. For all those who want to make their kinnos experience more meaningful and impactful, I highly recommend Meaningful Kinnos." - RABBI SHALOM ROSNER "The aptly-named 'Meaningful Kinnos' undoubtedly facilitates understanding and kavanna and enables the reader to experience the fullness and power of mourning." - RABBI YITZCHAK BREITWOITZ
