On Tisha B’av JLIC at Brooklyn College and JLIC of Greater Toronto joined together for a very meaningful night. After Eicha students heard from JLIC at The University of Wisconsin’s Rabbi Shlomo Geller, Rabbi Geller was recently released from reserve duty with the IDF and spoke about his experience fighting in Gaza as a sharp shooter during Operation Protective Edge. Hearing him speak greatly impacted the students and helped them connect to the significance of Tisha B’av.
