by Eilu Eilu, the adult learning part-
nership of the Detroit Conservative
Movement.
The Midrasha Center for Adult
Jewish Studies of the Agency for
Jewish Education of Metropolitan
Detroit and Eilu v' Eilu are co-spon-
soring a summer series with Rabbi Rod
Glogower on the theme "Facing the
Darkness: A Text Study for Tisha
B'Av."
Nancy Kaplan of Eilu v' Eilu said
the multi-session seminar has nearly 50
students registered.
She called Tisha B'Av "a profound
date on the Jewish calendar, that not
everyone ignores because its summer."
"Conservative shuls offer services and
Conservative camps all put a lot of
energy into observing," she said.
Rabbi Glogower said the holiday
does get "a bit ignored when schools
and programs break for summer." He
described his class as "a talmudic
account of the destruction of the sec-
ond Temple and the destruction of
Jerusalem by the Romans."
One of those taking advantage of
Rabbi Glogower's class is Sheryl
Korelitz of Huntington Woods. "As
someone who went to Hillel Day
School," she said, "the one spot I did-
n't get the opportunity to study was
the summer holidayofTisha B'Av."
Temple Israel does not conduct ser-
vices on Tisha B'Av. The philosophy of
the Reform Movement does not
emphasize "Temple-cult-focused ritu-
als," Rabbi Paul Yedwab said, includ-
ing the observance of a formal day of
mourning over their destructions.
Reform rabbis, however, do not con-
duct weddings on the holiday. The
decision of whether to fast is left to
each individual.
Recalling when he was director of
Eisner Camp, a Reform youth camp in
Massachusetts in 1981, Rabbi Yedwab
said campers "spent hours and hours
meticulously building a replica of the
Temple with glue and Popsicle sticks."
When it was complete, it was set on
fire to demonstrate a feeling of loss
over somethng that had been difficult
to attain. Rabbi Yedwab said the model
continued to burn throughout the
recitation of poetry and chanting of
lamentations.
After 45 minutes, the fire died,
smoke cleared, and one area was left
standing — one wall— the one facing
west.
Rabbi Yitzchok Bergstein, director
of Ganeinu Day Camp in West
Bloomfield, said camp is not in session
on Tisha B'Av. But, for three weeks
prior to its observance, learning ses-
sions at the Chabad Lubavitch camp
discuss the reasons for the destruction
of the Temples. Stress is on teaching
how each mitzvah is observed brings
the comming of the Messiah and the
rebuilding of the Remple nearer.
Tamarack Camps are not in ses-
sion during Tisha B'Av this year.
Last year, a 2-year-old tradition con-
tinued to accommodate campers and
counselors wishing to observe the
holiday. One building on the
grounds was devoted to those wish-
ing to fast and avoid activities pro-
hibited on Tisha B'Av.
