Lamentations is the only book read on the 9th of Av (beginning at sunset tonight) in Jewish Tradition. In the midst of deep sorrow, Jeremiah remembers God’s Faithfulness. On this day of historic tragedies, Israel clings to the faithfulness of God. As threats to destroy Israel loom, the Nation clings to the promises that God will protect His People. “The Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” | Aaron Shust
