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.
