This Shabbat, the Shabbat preceeding the 9th of Av, is called 'Shabbat
Khazon'. 'Khazon' means vision, and refers to the prophesy of Isaiah which we
read during the Shabbat services. Isaiah describes God's lament over how the
Nation has forsaken Him and sinned repeatedly, which ultimately leads to the
destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem on the 9th of Av. Throughout the world,
Jews commemorate Tisha B'av with fasting and prayer and the public recital of
Eicha (Lamentations). Follow along and learn the mornful words of Jeremiah with
