A special Kinah for Tisha B’Av this year composed by World Mizrachi’s Nasi, Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon ✨

Rav Rimon said: “This year, Tisha B’Av is especially difficult. There is the destruction that we always cry over, and there is our destruction that joins the larger destruction. But on the other hand, we have achieved special things. We come to this war, not out of weakness or lowliness. Am Yisrael has risen up. It is hard for us but we need to remember that within the hardship, we are living in incredible times and to know that we will win this war, with Hashem’s help.

“In this spirit I wrote this kinah. It was important to me to write a kinah that reflects the crying, the pain, the cost, the fears, and humiliation, but along with it, shows the greatness of Am Yisrael and our heroes to remind us that we are in a time of redemption with many miracles. B’ezrat Hashem, from the crying and the memory of destruction back then and the destruction of this year, we will quickly achieve victory and a complete redemption.”

Connect to Bereaved Israeli Families and Honour Israel's Fallen ✨mizrachi.ca/bezchutam

Sponsor a laser-cut holographic image with a backlight of one of Israel’s fallen to be sent to a bereaved family in Israel. Sponsoring families from Canada will get their own identical light, and will be connected with the bereaved family.

This is an important way to memorialize the fallen and build a meaningful connection with the bereaved family honouring their loss and providing support.

As we transitioned from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Ha’atzmaut we felt strength, hope, and pride. Today, our nation is stronger than ever before. Stronger than ever, Stronger together.

Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱💪🏻

Last night at our Tekes Ma’avar we honoured and commemorated the innocent lives that were taken from us on October 7th, and the brave soldiers who fought valiantly to protect our country since that day.

We showcased two exhibitions: The Nova Exhibition and “Resilience + Remembrance: The Kibbutzim of October 7th.” These displays enhanced our community’s awareness of the profound losses and the tragic events that occurred, ensuring that the individuals and communities affected are never forgotten.

Thank you to our community who came out to mourn together, and most of all to celebrate our people, our country, and our nation. More pics from last night to come 👀

Here is the link to watch the funeral of Cpt. Daniel Perez hy”d, 3pm Israel time:

Funeral of Daniel Perez Join at this link on March 18, at 3:00 PM (Asia/Jerusalem time) to watch live.

It is with immense pain and deep sadness that we share with you that the Perez family were informed this evening that Captain Daniel Perez, 22 years old, has been declared as a fallen soldier, captured by a terror organization. A funeral is being planned for tomorrow, to be followed by Shiva.

Over the past 163 days we have desperately davened for better news. Throughout that time, the Perez family has inspired us and strengthened us as we have sought to strengthen them. The global tefillot for his wellbeing will now become global wishes of comfort.

This news came to the family on 7 Adar, the yahrzeit of Moshe Rabbeinu whose burial place is unknown, and has such become a date associated with mourning for all those whose burial places are unknown. As we have prayed and hoped for Daniel’s return until now, we continue to pray and hope for his return to a Kever Yisrael.

May Hashem comfort Rav Doron, Shelley and the entire family amongst all mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim, and may we see every single hostage return home.
