Tisha BeAv - The Ninth of Av
Introduction
Welcome to our thoughts on programming around the theme of
Tisha B'av, which presents the educator with real challenges
in both programming and content.
We have tried to produce something "a little bit different"
from the usual anthology/references to appropriate texts and
would like to note an acknowledgement to the experimental
publication produced on Tisha B'av [Hadracha Digest, Youth
& Hechalutz Dept.] in 1986, from which several central concepts
have been developed. [This booklet, essentially for groups
in Israel over the summer, was utilized extensively in the
Diaspora. The second reprint is now out of stock.]
We also wish to acknowledge a thought-provoking presentation
by Avraham Burg, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel,
on the developmental spiral model of the Jewish year against
the continuum of time, given to the staff at the Education
Campus on March 24th 1996 - 4th Nisan 5756.
Please note that we have linked the developmental programming
models below to Jerusalem in Jewish Consciousness, as presented
in the relevant chapter, 'The Eternal Connection between the
Jewish People and Jerusalem' in Abraham Stahl's "Jerusalem
Through the Windows of Time".
