The Scroll of Lamentations (מגילת איכה) is traditionally recited during the solemn holiday of Tishah B’Av to remember the destruction of the Holy Temple and other tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people. During the Tishah B’Av service at the synagogue, when the cantor reaches the second to last verse of the book, he says “Hashivenu,” pauses, and then the congregation recites the verse in unison: Hashivenu Adonai, eleykha ve’nashuvah; chadesh yamenu ke’kedem: “Turn us back to Yourself, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old” (Lam. 5:21). Often this verse is repeated and sung to a haunting melody as the scroll is returned to the Ark.
