According to Israeli journalist Ro'i Kais, Chief Rabbi Yehuda Gerami led the recitation of the Book of Lamentations and kinot at the central Yosef Avad synagogue in Tehran on Tisha B'Av night, reading the piyut 'Eileichem Adah Kedoshah' which contrasts Passover freedom with Tisha B'Av mourning.
The event took place at the central Yosef Avad synagogue in Tehran, where Rabbi Yehuda Gerami, the chief rabbi of Iran's Jewish community, led the congregation in the traditional Tisha B'Av liturgy. The reading of the piyut 'Eileichem Adah Kedoshah' highlighted the stark contrast between the exodus from Egypt and the destruction of the Temple. The report comes from Israeli journalist Ro'i Kais, who covers Jewish communities worldwide. Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples, was also observed in Jerusalem, with a public reading led by former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, as The Zioneer reported.
