Shabbat after Tish’a B’Av (Shabbat of Consolation) 🕍

Shabbat Nachamu for Hebrew Year 4161 began on Friday, 10 August 0401 and ended on Saturday, 11 August 0401.

Shabbat Nachamu (“Sabbath of comfort” שבת נחמו) takes its name from the haftarah from the Book of Isaiah 40:1-26 that speaks of comforting the Jewish people for their suffering. It is the first of seven haftarahs of consolation read over the seven weeks leading up to Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Shabbat Nachamu falls immediately after Tisha B’Av, and communities traditionally celebrate with singing, dancing, and festive meals.
