Ekha - בין המצרים, איכה, ונחמיות

Tisha B'Ab is a time when we mourn over the many tragedies that have happened to the Jewish people. It is a time of reflection and repentance.

The following is list of instructions from Rabbi Saul Kassin's source. All of what is written below is according to the traditions of Aleppo.

Sequence of Arbit:

Haazinu, Ekha, Al Neharot Babel, Hashem Sebaot Imanu, Kaddish, Barechu, and Arbit.
After the Amidah, Yehi Shem with Half Kaddish, Say Anenu during the Amidah.
If this is Mosaei Shabbat, say "Baruch... Boreh Meorei HaEsh"

Qinot: Al Zot Espedah, Kol Ahola, Boreh ad Ana, Achenu Beit Yisrael Shamau (calculate the amount of years since the destruction), Ad Anah Bechiyah BeSion, BaAgalah Ubizman Karib, Kaddish Targum,

 על זאת אספדה , קול אהלה תתיפח, בורא עד אנא, עד אנא בכיה בציון, עורה נא ימינך רמה, את אויבך אל תשמיד, קדיש תרגום 

VeAtah Kaddosh; Kaddish Titqabal, Shir Hama'alot Beshub Hashem, Kaddish Yatom, Barechu, Alenu.

Sequence of Shaharit:

(1) Wear the Talit and Tefillin as normal.
(2) In Birkot Hashahar, do not say beracha "SheAsah Li Kol Sorki".
(3) Pray from the beginning of the Tefilah until the end of the Amidah like normal days; say Anenu in the Amidah.
(4) Say "Az Yashir" and it is not our custom to say Haazinu before Yoser because it is considered a break.
(5) There is no Birkat Kohanim and do not say "Elohenu veElohei Abotenu" instead.
(6) Yehi Shem; Half Kaddish.
(7) Qinot (והארץ שפל רומי) followed by Qaddish Targum. Take out Torah and instead of saying Vezot HaTorah, say "Al Tidom Bat Sion"... ""Al Hechali Ebche"... Kuli Bat Sion". Read the Torah and the Haftara. Ashrei until "VeAtah Kaddosh", HaAzinu, Ekha, VeAtah Kaddosh; Kaddish Titqabal.
Instead of Yehalelu, say "Al Neharot Babel"
Beit Yaacob and continue like a normal day. Say Mizmor LeAsaf BaU Goyim BeNahalatecha after the Shir Shel Yom; Kaddish. Kaveh/ Ketoret/ Kaddish/ Barechu/ Alenu.

Minha: [No Haftarah is read]. In the Amidah of Minha say Nahem. Do Kohanim in the Hazarah. Sing the Pizmonim of Nahamu. After Alenu, sing Elecha Hashem
