Tu B'Av

The Nine Days |
Sit on Floor |
|
The few days before Tisha B’Av (usually the nine days) are a very solemn time. Some Jews won’t eat meat or go swimming or to the movies. Others use this time to remember how, and more importantly, why, Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed in the first place - because people treated each other unkindly. They make an extra effort to try and help one another and show compassion for everyone they meet. |
