Laws and Customs of Tisha Be’Av 5784 Sponsored in the Merit of the Safety and Security of the Holy Land of Israel Tisha Be’Av is a day of fasting when we mourn over five tragedies that occurred to the Jewish people:1 1) In the year 1312 BCE, the spies returned from Israel with a bad report about the land of Israel. According to our sages, during the next 38 years in the desert, the men who turned 60 (which was more than 15,000 each year) would die on the ninth of Av of each year.2 2) The first Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) was destroyed by the Babylonians in the year 423 BCE. 3) The second Beit HaMikdash was destroyed by the Romans around the year 69.3 4) Turnus Rufus,4 the governor of the Judean province after the destruction of the second Beit HaMikdash, had the Temple Mount5 plowed under on that day.6 5) In the year 135, the rebellion of Beitar was suppressed, resulting in the death of millions of Jews. Several examples:9 o Megillat Eicha and the Midrash on Eicha o The sad parts of the Book of Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) and the Book of Iyov (Job) o The last chapter of Tractate Mo’ed Kattan o The story of the second destruction as recorded in Gittin 55b – 58a, or of the first destruction as recorded in Sanhedrin 96b and 97 o The Book of Josephus (Wars of the Jews) o The laws of mourning and of Tisha Be’Av may also be studied. If one plans to have a snack or drink, it is best to have that in mind before reciting the Grace after Meals.20 Forbidden Activities The following activities are forbidden on Tisha Be’Av: Torah Study As mentioned above, one may not study Torah on Tisha Be’Av except for certain topics (see above). o One may only render a Halachic ruling if it is necessary for that time.21 o One should also not read secular articles or the news or do anything which will distract him from the mourning of the day.22 o Some permit one to learn from works that inspire a person to Teshuvah, such as Mussar. In addition, Chassidic discourses that explain Megillat Eicha (the Book of Lamentations) may be studied.23 o A mourner (or one who has Yohrtzeit) who normally recites Mishnayot after the prayers and then says a Kadish Derabanan should say the Mishnayot of Ta’anit or Mo’ed Kattan which one may study on Tisha Be’Av.
