Two great and inspiring spiritual leaders of our time, The Bobover Rebbe and Rav Shimon Schwab composed Kinnos lamenting and memorializing the unspeakable tragedy. In recent years, many congregations have adopted the practice of reciting these Kinnos on the evening or morning of Tishah B'Av. We present these Kinnos, with our translation, as a public service.
