9th of Av | August 12-13, 2024
Tisha B'Av is a day of mourning the destruction of both ancient Temples in Jerusalem. In modern times, many Jews understand Tisha B'Av as a day to remember many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people throughout history and to reflect on the suffering that still occurs.
Customarily, Tisha B'Av is a time set aside for fasting and mourning. The fast extends from sundown until the following sundown. In the synagogue, the Book of Eicha (Lamentations) is chanted, as are kinot, which are dirges written during the Middle Ages. Sitting on low stools, a custom associated with mourning the dead, Jews read sections of the books of Jeremiah and Job, as well as passages from the Bible and the Talmud that deal with the Temples' destructions in 586 B.C.E. and 70 C.E.
