This year, there have been efforts to write kinot that reflect on the profound tragedy of October 7 and its aftermath.   The following kina, composed by Rabbi Moshe Hauer, is an adaptation of one of the existing kinot written in the 11th century, Kina 25, Mi Yitein Roshi Mayim. It is shared here for those who may find it appropriate, relevant, and useful.
