The Saddest Day of the Jewish Calendar: Tisha B´Av

Tisha B'Av is the beginning point of the Teshuvah period when we get closer to God and ourselves and which we hope to complete on Yom Kippur. On Tisha B'Av, meaning 9th of the month of Av (of the Jewish calendar), we start to turn to our essence, the spark of God inside us, since we are ready to face the grief.

On this sad day, we fast, deprive ourselves, and pray. This year Tisha B'Av fast will be observed starting at sunset of Wednesday, July 29th, until the dusk of Thursday, July 30th, when the stars appear.
