Rabbi Shimon Galai delivered a Tisha B'Av lamentation address at his study hall in the Shikun Heh neighborhood on Wednesday night. The newly published 19-minute recording shows him seated beside shelves of Torah volumes, speaking into a microphone and consulting a large religious text. The video documents his remarks on the night of the 5786 fast, with the source describing them specifically as words of lamentation. It was recorded by Y. Bush and posted at 3:27 a.m. Israel time, providing a fresh record of the Haredi community's traditional observance.
