| Abstract: | Thus, the haftarah for Tishah Be-Av morning serves two functions. One, that it shares with all other haftarot, is to express themes relevant to that particular day's Torah reading. The other, unique to it, is to elicit feelings and emotions, to help us be sad and thus mourn for a set of events that have deeply and profoundly defined our lives as a people for the last almost two thousand years. 16.
