Subject: Tisha Beav Cantillations on Shabbath

Recently Alan Rubin and Jeff Fischer have discussed using the
cantillations of Eychah on (1) The Haftarah of Chazon and (2) Eychah
esah levadi..a verse in Devarim.  I might also add (3) it is customary
to use these cantillations on certain verses in Megillath Esther (like
VeCalim Micalim Shonim).

I don't know any sources for the above (though I do them).

I just wanted to say that it is the custom in the Lubovitch minyonim
that I have lained in not to do any of the above.  The reason being that
we don't want to bring sadness (= Eychah cantillations) into Shabbath.
SImilarly we dont want to bring sadness to the happy holiday of PUrim.
