Tisha B'Av National Jewish Day of Mourning & Remember the
Destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem
Tisha B’Av
Tisha B'Av (lit. "the ninth of Av"), is an annual
fast day in Judaism which commemorates the
destruction of the First and Second Temples in
Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Jews
from the Land of Israel. The day also
commemorates other tragedies which occurred
on the same day, including the Roman massacre
of over 100,000 Jews at Betar in 132 CE.
Instituted by the rabbis of 2nd-century Palestine,
Tisha B'Av is regarded as the saddest day in the
Jewish calendar and a day which is used to
commemorate tragedy national tragedies.
To commemorate this day we will recite the
Mournful Liturgy
