The Ninth of Av ✡️

Tish’a B’Av for Hebrew Year 4819 began on Wednesday, 27 July 1059 and ended on Thursday, 28 July 1059.

Tisha B’Av (Hebrew: תשעה באב, “the Ninth of Av”) is an annual fast day in Judaism, named for the ninth day of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar. The fast commemorates the destruction of both the First Temple and the Second Temple in Jerusalem, which occurred about 655 years apart on the same Hebrew calendar date. Regarded as the saddest day in the Jewish calendar, the 25-hour observance includes five prohibitions: eating and drinking, washing the body, wearing leather shoes, applying lotions or creams, and marital relations. Over the centuries, the observance has expanded to encompass other major tragedies in Jewish history. Tisha B’Av is never observed on Shabbat; if the 9th of Av falls on Saturday, the fast is postponed until the 10th of Av.
