R. Micha'el Rosenberg on Tisha B'Av: Between Exodus and Exile
Update: 2025-07-28
Description
One of the poetic laments we recite on Tisha b’Av is the poem that begins Eish tukad bekirbi (“A fire shall burn within me”). An acrostic, each stanza of the poem juxtaposes something glorious that occurred during the Exodus from Egypt, with something equally ignoble from our exile from Jerusalem.
