Living memory
The Lamentations (Eikhah) are five elegies composed after the destruction of Jerusalem and the First Temple by Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BCE. These poems describe with unbearable intensity the famine, massacre, humiliation and desolation of a city that became "like a widow." They became the paradigm of Jewish national mourning literature.
