Traditional 17th of Tammuz Foods
Find these classics at Boston kosher restaurants and caterers.
Pre-Fast Meal (Before Dawn)
Those who wish to eat before the fast should do so before alot hashachar (dawn). A substantial meal with plenty of fluids helps sustain the body through the daytime fast. Many eat oatmeal, eggs, bread, fruit, and drink water and electrolyte beverages.
Break-Fast Foods
After nightfall, fasters break with light, hydrating foods. Common choices are bread, dairy, fruit, fresh juices, and water. Many wait an hour after breaking the fast before eating a full meal to avoid digestive distress.
Tisha B'Av Lead-In Eating
From the 17th of Tammuz onward, communities begin reducing joyous activities. While most kosher restaurants remain open during the Three Weeks, some opt for quieter menus, drop live entertainment, and refrain from launching new dishes. The Nine Days (starting Rosh Chodesh Av) bring additional restrictions including the traditional avoidance of meat and wine for many communities.
