(A couple of things needed to be clarified from yesterday's email:

• Eicha will be available on Zoom motzaei Shabbos for those unable to attend shul.
• Havdalah is just borei me'orei ha-esh on motzaei Shabbos - if you do not come to shul on motzaei Shabbos, you should say this beracha at home.
• We will be offering the Chofetz Chaim videos.
• 2nd Mincha on Sunday afternoon at 7:50 PM.)

Dear QJC Family,

Unfortunately, Tisha B'av is approaching this weekend, and I want to call attention to certain events taking place as well as resources available. Full QJC schedule at the end of the email.

• Please note that I will give a shiur after the first mincha with the title "The Future Beit Hamikdash." The shiur will take place at approximately 2:15 PM. It will be offered both in person and on Zoom.
  
  
• We will be offering the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation videos at 3:00 PM on Sunday.
  
  
• Please see attached for this year's Bein Hametzarim/Three Weeks guide with all of the information you need for Tisha B'av.
  
  
• Here is the YU-To-Go for Tisha B'av for those who wish to read electronically.
