Tish’a B’Av / תִּשְׁעָה בְּאָב

The Ninth of Av ✡️

Tish’a B’Av for Hebrew Year 5785 begins at sundown on Saturday, 2 August 2025 and ends at nightfall on Sunday, 3 August 2025.

Tisha B’Av (Hebrew: תשעה באב or ט׳ באב, “the Ninth of Av,”) is an annual fast day in Judaism, named for the ninth day (Tisha) of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar. The fast commemorates the destruction of both the First Temple and Second Temple in Jerusalem, which occurred about 655 years apart, but on the same Hebrew calendar date. Tisha B’Av is never observed on Shabbat. If the 9th of Av falls on a Saturday, the fast is postponed until the 10th of Av.
