Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of the month of Av (July 18, 2021), is the darkest day on the Jewish calendar, on which we fast, deprive ourselves, and pray. It is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period of time during which we mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The date, the 9th day of Av, coincides with the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians in 587 BCE, the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE, the defeat of the Bar Kochba revolt against the Romans in 133 CE, the Expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290, and the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.
