The 9th Day of the Jewish month of Av, known in Hebrew as Tisha B’Av, is the day commemorating the destruction of the first and second Temples that once stood in Jerusalem. It is a day of tragedy and commemorates some of the worst moments in Jewish history. Simply put, it is the saddest day of the year, and it begins tonight.
On this Tisha B’Av let’s pray that all the tragedy and sadness stops, and that we see a world of peace and kindness. We have seen so many days of sadness recently but lets stay hopeful for a brighter future. I know it sounds unrealistic at this moment, but if it was easy we wouldn’t need to pray for it. To all those fasting I wish you an easy fast.
