Publisher's Summary
Israeli kids and their aunt observe the holiday of Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, by visiting an archaeological dig at the Temple Mount and participating in their own hands-on dig.
Critic Reviews
"A family learns about ancient Jerusalem in the days of the Temple and about the modern observance of Tisha B’Av in the best and most effective way of all - by exploring ancient sites in a hands-on way; they dig, they walk, they photograph, they touch, they ask, and they listen to knowledgeable guides. They walk where their ancestors walked and they learn as they go.... Sites visited in Jerusalem’s Old City include the Western Wall, Robinson’s Arch, the underground tunnels where one can see buried sections of the Wall, and the Temple Mount Sifting Project where tourists have a chance to become archaeologists themselves. They get a good sense of what life was like in the days of the Temple and the magnitude of its loss. When the touring day is over and evening falls, Tisha B’Av begins. The group returns to the Wall to pray with others and experiences the loss of the ancient Temple through a modern-day lens. A note with a historical explanation of Tisha B’Av is appended adding more perspective to this beautifully written and designed book." (Association of Jewish Libraries)
