Tisha B'Av HistoryTisha B'Av is an annual day of mourning and fasting in Judaism, commemorating the destruction of both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, as well as other tragic events in Jewish history. It is regarded as the saddest day in the Jewish calendar and is marked by customs such as the reading of the Book of Lamentations, refraining from activities that bring joy, and observing certain mourning practices. In addition, Tisha B'Av serves as a time to reflect on the relevance of these historical events in the present day and the importance of unity, love, and compassion in overcoming adversity. The origins of Tisha B'Av can be traced back to biblical times, with the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE, both occurring on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av. The observance highlights the historical bond between the UK and Israel, given the former's role in the establishment of the modern State of Israel, as well as the ongoing importance of maintaining strong ties between the two nations. In the United Kingdom, Tisha B'Av is observed by Jews of various denominations, with synagogues and community centres holding special services and study sessions related to the day's themes. The fast, which lasts for 25 hours, begins at sunset and ends at nightfall the following day. Tisha B'Av is observed on July 26th. Tisha B'Av facts
