Tisha B'Av

Tisha B'av is a somber day when Jews mourn the destruction of both ancient Temples in Jerusalem. Traditionally, people will spend 24 hours fasting and mourning. Liberal Jews may not feel a strong connection to the ancient Temples, so on this day we also mourn all of the tragedies that have happened to the Jewish people and all people throughout history and still today. Over time, many disastrous events have come to be commemorated on this day such as the Crusades, the Jewish expulsion from Spain, and the Holocaust.

If there aren't events showing below, we haven't yet planned this holiday's programming. Please check back soon!
