Question 2

When is Tisha B'Av 5786?

Accepted Answer

Tisha B'Av 5786 begins on July 23, 2026. Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, is the most solemn day on the Jewish calendar, a day of mourning for the catastrophic events that have befallen the Jewish people throughout history. Both the First Temple (destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE) and the Second Temple (destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE) were destroyed on this date. Jewish tradition holds that numerous other tragedies also occurred on Tisha B'Av, including the decree against the generation of the Exodus, the fall of Betar during the Bar Kochba revolt, and the expulsion of Jews from England (1290) and Spain (1492). The day is observed with a 25-hour fast, similar to Yom Kippur, along with the reading of Eicha (the Book of Lamentations) and kinot (elegies). Congregants sit on low chairs or the floor, lights are dimmed, and the parochet (ark curtain) is removed, reflecting a communal state of mourning.
