Tisha B'Av Events Around Jerusalem The fast of Tisha B'Av is the saddest day of the Jewish calendar, marking the loss of Israel's sovereignty and its holy Temple in 70 AD, as well as numerous other tragedies that befell Jewish communities throughout history. This year, Tisha B'Av is Nidche, pushed off from shabbat and commemorated on Sunday, the 10th of Av. In shul, we'll read from the book of Eicha at night, and say kinot during the morning. For those looking for a bit more to engage with the mood of the day, here are some events organized around Jerusalem: Saturday Night: 25th Annual Tisha beAv Eve Walk around the Old City Walls JSC ALL AGES Annual Tisha Bav Old City Rooftop Eicha Reading Tisha B'Av At Migdal Davidליל תשעה באב - התעוררי התעוררי קומי ירושלם Tisha B'Av at the Begin Center Tisha B'Av at Beit Yehuditתשעה באב תשע"ט At the Gush Katif Museum ט' באב תשע"ט at Zedekiah's Cave Sunday: Tisha B'Av 5779 – Refusing to Despair & Continuing to Dream at Pardes ט באב at Beit Avi Chai Tisha B'av Kinnot explained By Rabbi Chaim Ilson (Jerusalem )Tisha B'Av Guided Tour in English at Yad Vashem At the OU Center (several programs): 1.
