The fast of Tisha B’av is to commemorate five tragedies which occurred to the Jewish nation:

  1. The Jews of the desert were told that they would not enter Eretz Yisrael following the sin of the spies.
  2. The first Bet HaMikdash was destroyed.
  3. The second Bet HaMikdash was destroyed.
  4. Beitar, a city filled with over 10,000 Jews was captured and destroyed by the Romans during the Bar Kochva rebellion.
  5. Turnus Rufus plowed the area of the heichal. [1]

This article is specifically about the fast of the ninth of Av. To learn about any of the other fast days click here.

Erev Tisha B'av

Learning Torah

  1. Some Ashkenazim have the minhag not to learn after mid-day on Erev Tisha BeAv (except for the things which one can learn on Tisha BeAv itself), while others allow learning all day. [2] For Sephardim, it is permissible to learn the entire day of Erev Tisha BeAv. [3]

Seuda Hamafseket

  1. During the meal preceding the fast that one eats before sunset after midday one should ensure not to eat more than one cooked food.[4] When determining what qualifies as a "cooked food," for this purpose we do not differentiate between whether the food is roasted or cooked.[5]
  2. In addition to the practice many have not to eat meat or drink wine during the 9 days, during this meal one should also avoid eating fish.[6]
  3. It is customary to use hard boiled eggs as the "cooked food" as eggs are a food eaten by mourners.[7]
  4. For those who are capable, it is proper to only eat dry bread dipped in salt and to drink only water.[8] Nonetheless, one need not lessen his eating; rather, one should ensure to eat and drink enough in order that he can endure the fast.[9] Some are stringent to dip the final bit of bread in ashes[10] and to eat it and to declare “This is the Tisha B'Av meal." [11]
  5. It is customary to sit on the floor while eating the meal, although one need not remove his shoes as the fast has not yet begin.[12]
  6. If one said explicitly that he will not be eating after the seuda hamefseket, he cannot continue eating even if it is before sunset. However, if he only had that in mind but didn't say it, he may continue eating. [13] Since some poskim disagree, some suggest that one say explicitly that he will continue eating. [14]
  7. Three men should not eat together in order to avoid being obligated in a zimun. [15] If they do sit together they should still not recite the zimmun. [16]
  8. It is customary to eat a large meal before Mincha and then to begin the Seuda Ha'mafseket after Mincha[17]; however, one must ensure not to overeat during the meal he eats before Mincha.[18]
  9. In a year in which the 9th of Av falls out on either Shabbat (in which case the fast is observed beginning at sunset on Shabbat) or on Sunday this meal is not eaten. In such a case, one may enjoy a large sumptuous meal so as to properly celebrate Shabbat, only one must ensure to stop eating before sunset (see "When Tisha Beav Falls Out on Shabbat or Sunday" below).[19]

Tachanun

  1. Tachanun is omitted at Mincha on Erev Tisha Be'av and on Shabbat Tzidkadecha Tzedek is omitted.[20]

Fasting

Who Should Fast?

  1. It is forbidden for all men of bar mitzvah age and women of bat mitzvah age to partake in eating or drinking on the Tisha BeAv. The fast begins at shkiat hachamah of the 8th of Av and ends at Tzet Hakochavim of the 9th of Av. [21]
  2. A pregnant or nursing woman must fast on Tisha BeAv.[22]If the woman has a sickness which is Choleh Shein Bo Sakana, she doesn't have to fast. Yet, in these situations one should always ask an Orthodox Rabbi to assess the situation.[23]
  3. Some poskim say that if one is exempt from fasting on Tisha B'av, he need not eat in increments. [24] However, one should not overindulge. [25]

Brushing Teeth

  1. One should refrain from brushing his teeth on Tisha B'av, unless not doing so causes tremendous distress. [26]
  2. It is forbidden for one to rinse out his/her mouth on Tisha BeAv; although, if one must they may rinse out their mouth with less than a Reviit of water. [27]

Medications

  1. A person can take a capsule or bitter tasting pill or liquid medicine without water on Tisha B'av.[28]

When Does the Fast of Tisha Be'Av End

  1. It is not necessary to wait until the tzet hakochavim according to Rabbeinu Tam to begin eating. [29]

  3. Women should not wear make-up on Tisha B'av.[35]

Wearing Leather

  1. It is prohibited to wear leather shoes on Tisha B'av. [36]
  2. Even those who are more lenient on Yom Kippur and wear comfortable non leather shoes, should be more stringent on Tisha B’Av as we try to minimize comforts on Tisha B’Av as much as possible. [37]
  3. Some poskim permit wearing crocs, while others prohibit them. [38]

Marital Relations

  1. It is prohibited to have marital relations on Tisha B'av. [39]
  2. Some poskim say that a husband and wife should be careful not to touch each other. [40]

Working on Tisha B'Av

  1. The minhag is not to engage in any work which takes time to do during the night of Tisha B'av or the morning until midday so as not to divert one's attention from the mourning. This includes housework like sweeping.[41]
  2. It is permitted to have a non-Jew work for you on Tisha B'av as long as it isn't something public like building or painting a house.[42]
  3. If the nature of the work is that not doing it on Tisha B'av will cause one a financial loss he may do it on Tisha B'av. When possible he should have a non-Jew do it or at least postponed until midday.[43]

Learning Torah

What one may learn on Tisha BeAv

  1. One should not learn Torah on Tisha BeAv whether it’s Tanach, Midrash, Mishna, Gemara, Halacha, or Aggadata because Torah brings happiness to a person. [44] This applies to women as well. [45]
  2. Nevertheless, the obligation to set some time in the day for learning torah still exists. [46] It is permissible to read Iyov, an explanation of Iyov, the sad parts of Yirmiyahu (prophesy about destruction and rebuke but not consolation or about destruction of the other nations), Midrash Eicha, an explanation of Eicha, the Gemara in the third perek of Moed Katan (which deals with the laws of mourning, excluding the happy parts), [47] the Gemara in Gittin and Sanhedrin which deal with the destruction of the Bet HaMikdash. [48]
  3. When learning the laws of mourning one may not go into the depth of halacha (with questions and answers). [49]
  4. One may not even think of how to answer a serious difficulty in learning because one will feel satisfied when the matter is settled. [50]
  5. It is permitted to pray the normal prayers even though it contains torah such as az yashir, eizehu mikoman, the korbanot etc. [51]

Prayer

  1. Although leather is not worn, some have the custom to say the beracha in birkot hashachar of "sheasa li ko tzorki." [52] Some say to omit it. [53]
  2. Tachanun is not recited on Tisha B'av. [54]
  3. One may recite keriat shema al hamita on Tisha B'av[55]

Eicha

  1. The custom is to read the megilla of Eicha, Lamentations, on Tisha B'av. [56] Most recite it without a beracha.[57]
  2. Even one who cannot attend shul, should read Eicha and the kinot alone. [58]
  3. Women are required to read the megilla of eicha as well. [59]

Aneinu

  1. According to Sephardim, one recites aneinu at night on tisha b’av. [60]

Nachem

Here's the text for the Nachem (Ashkenazic, Sephard, and Sephardic): Tefillat Nachem on wikisource.

  1. On Tisha B’Av, we add in the Shemoneh Esreh a prayer for the rebuilding of Jerusalem, which begins with the word nachem. Some have the custom to insert the beracha of nachem into the beracha of tishkon bitoch yerushalayim (v'lyerushalayim ircha for ashkenazim) only during mincha. [61] The Sephardic minhag in Yerushalayim is to recite Nachem in all the prayers of Tisha B'av. [62]
  2. If one forgot to recite nachem during the amida and only remembered after finishing, he should not go back and recite the amida again. [63]
  3. Despite the continued construction of the city of Yerushalayim, the text of Nachem may not be changed because the Makom Hamikdash is still in ruins and the spirituality of the city is still lacking [64]
  4. Everyone says Nachem even someone who isn't fasting.[65]

Tefillin

Shacharit

  1. Some have the Minhag not to put on Tallit or Tefillin for Shacharit of Tisha BeAv and only put it on for Mincha.[66]
  2. Those who hold of this minhag also do not have the Chazan or those participating in the Torah service wear a tallit.[67] The Moroccan minhag is such, and so is the Persian minhag.[68] Some Sephardim have the practice to wear Tefillin for Shacharit on Tisha B'av until the recital of Kinnot or if they don't wear it in the shul to wear it at home before coming to shul.[69]
  3. One who normally wears Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin in addition to Rashi, must do so on Tisha B'av as well.[70]
  4. If someone usually doesn't recite a bracha on his tzitzit because he exempts it with his tallit, on Tisha B'av when he doesn't wear his tallit in the morning he should put on his tzitzit in the morning without a bracha. Others contend that he should recite a bracha unless he slept in his tzitzit.[71]

Mincha

  1. Tallit and Tefillin are worn during mincha on Tisha B'av.[72]
  2. There is a discussion if one should recite keriat shema during mincha with tefillin. [73]

Sitting on the Floor

  1. During the evening of Tisha B'Av and the morning until chatzot (midday) sitting on a bench or chair is prohibited if it is three tefachim or higher. [74] One may sit on a cushion or a low bench or chair. [75]
  2. After midday, one should not sit on the floor unless he is reciting kinnot in which case he would still be permitted to sit on the floor.[76]
  3. The elderly and pregnant women who have a difficult time sitting on the ground may sit on a regular chair. Since sitting on the chair for these people is not due to pleasure but rather avoiding pain. [77]
  4. Though normally one should refrain from sitting in a normal chair on Tisha B'av until midday, one who is driving may sit normally in the seat. [78]
  5. Although we sit on the floor like mourners, one must nevertheless stand for his parents or for a talmid chacham. [79]
  6. When Tisha B'Av begins on Motzaei Shabbat, the prohibition of sitting on chairs begins after nightfall, not sunset. If one is praying with a minyan and they are starting a few minutes after nightfall, one may still sit on the chairs until Arvit. [80]

Saying Hello

  1. As part of the mourning of Tisha B'av, one should refrain from greeting others on Tisha B'av. [81] If someone else says hello to you, you may respond, but should do so with a lower voice and your head bent downward.[82]
  2. Mazal Tov for a recent Simcha may be said on Tisha B’Av since it is considered a blessing and not a greeting [83]. However, if at all possible, one should wait for a different day to express this Mazal Tov[84]
  3. It is permitted on Tisha B’Av to wish a “Refuah Shleima” to a person who is ill.[85]

Smoking

  1. One should not smoke on Tisha b'av. However, if someone really needs to and it will cause them great pain if they don't then they may smoke at home in private, but shouldn't do so in public. [86] Regarding the permissibility of smoking in general, see Smoking

Mourning Practices on the Tenth of Av

  1. Some of the mourning for the beit hamikdash extends beyond tisha b'av until the tenth of av because although the fires started burning on tisha b'av, most of the burning actually took place on the tenth [87]
  2. According to Ashkenazim one may not eat meat, launder clothing, bathe, take haircuts, or listen to music[88] until mid-day of the tenth of Av. [89] According to Sephardim one may not eat meat or drink wine until sunset of the tenth of Av.[90] It is permitted though to shower, do laundry, or take haircuts. [91]
  3. If Tisha B'av falls out on shabbat and is pushed to Sunday everything is permitted right after the fast except for eating meat and drinking wine. [92]

When Tisha BeAv falls out on Shabbat or Sunday

Prohibitions on Shabbat

  1. If Tisha B'av falls out on Shabbat, it is pushed off until Sunday and everything that would be forbidden on Tisha B'av is permitted on Shabbat. [93] According to Ashkenazim, some hold that relations are forbidden on Shabbat which is Tisha B'av unless it is her tevilah night.[94] On the other hand, according to Sephardim, relations are permitted on Shabbat.[95]
  2. If Tisha B'av falls out on Shabbat and is pushed off to Sunday, one may eat meat or drink wine on Monday day and not Sunday night. [96] According to some poskim, one may even eat meat on Sunday night. [97]
  3. If Tisha B'av falls out on Shabbat and is pushed off to Sunday bathing and haircuts are permitted Sunday night.[98] Some say that one shouldn't listen to music until the next day. [99] Others hold that music is permitted even at night.[100]
  4. If Tisha B'av falls out on Shabbat some say that one shouldn't have meals with meals with other friends, while others are lenient if you regularly have such meals.[101]
  5. One may, get a haircut or do laundry immediately on Sunday night. [102]
  6. If Tisha BeAv falls out on Shabbat and is pushed off until Sunday, according to Sephardim, a pregnant woman or woman who is nursing may eat on the fast day. Nonetheless, they should not eat for pleasure.[103]
  7. If Tisha Beav falls out on Shabbat and is pushed off to Sunday then there is a dispute among the poskim as to whether or not a boy who becomes Bar Mitzvah on the 10th of Av is required to fast.[104]

Havdala on Motzaei Shabbat

  1. If Tisha BeAv falls out on Shabbat and is pushed off to Sunday, the bracha of Boreh Meorei HaEsh upon a fire is made on Motzei Shabbat before the reading of Eicha (while Boreh Mineh/Isbeh/Atzeh Besamim is omitted[105]), however, the bracha of Havdalah on a cup of wine is delayed until after Tisha BeAv, Sunday night. [106] An adult who is exempt from fasting should recite Havdalah on Motzei Shabbat before eating.[107] One may fulfill his/her obligation to recite Havdalah even through someone who is permitted to eat on Tisha BeAv.[108]
  2. If one needs to eat on Tisha B'av that falls out on Sunday must recite Havdalah beforehand but they should wait until they need to eat to recite Havdalah and not say it immediately Saturday night unless they need to eat then.[109]

When Tisha BeAv falls out on Sunday

  1. If Tisha BeAv falls out on Sunday, one doesn't say Tzidkatcha at mincha of Shabbat.[110]
  2. If Tisha BeAv falls out on Sunday, one may learn Torah on Shabbat after Chatzot but it's preferable to learn the halachot of Tisha BeAv.[111]
  3. Even if one forgot to recite havdala in the Shemoneh Esrei, he doesn't repeat it but rather recites the words "Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh lichol." [112]
  4. Although seudat shlishit is the seudat hamafseket before the fast, one should eat a regular meal. [113] The meal must be finished before sunset. [114] One may sit on chairs[115] and a zimmun can be made.[116]
  5. One may leave on one's leather shoes until right after Barchu at the beginning of Arvit of Motzei Shabbat. If one is taking off one's shoes after Barchu one should take them off with one's feet or by only touching the shoelaces so that one doesn't have to wash Netilat Yadayim. It's proper to have Arvit of Motzei Shabbat 30 minutes after sunset giving people time to change from their Shabbat clothing which they should do 20 minutes after sunset.[117]

When Tisha BeAv falls out on Thursday

  1. One may take a haircut, wash oneself, and do laundry and need not wait until midday on Friday in order to perform these preparations in honor of Shabbat.[118]

Mishna Berurah 490:19 however, sides with the opinion of Rama that one should not recite a beracha on the megillot. However, he notes that one can justify the practice of reciting a beracha if the megillah is read from parchment.

    • Interestingly, Maharam quoted by the Tur OC 555 and Rabbenu Yerucham quoted by the Beit Yosef 555 hold that it is forbidden to wear Tefillin on Tisha B'av because mourning the loss of the beit hamikdash is greater than the usual first day of mourning over a deceased.
    • However, the Rosh quoted by the Tur holds that one must wear tefillin because mourning for the beit hamikdash is not as stringent as the first day of mourning.

  71. ↑ Shulchan Aruch O.C. 555:1 writes that one shouldn't recite a bracha on tzitzit the morning of tisha b'av. Mishna Brurah 555:2 quotes some who say that one should recite a bracha. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Dirshu 555:3) avoided the issue by sleeping in his tzitzit on tisha b'av, in which case one doesn't need to recite a new bracha according to everyone.
  72. ↑ Shulchan Aruch O.C. 555:1. Magen Avot OC 555:1 writes that some Moroccans have the practice to wear Tallit and Tefillin at mincha of Tisha B'av without a bracha.
  73. ↑ Mishna Brura 555:5 says that one should not. However, Rabbi Soloveitchik (Quoted by Rabbi Menachem Genack in Gan Shoshanim Chelek 1, 1:3) thought one should.

  92. ↑ Rama OC 558:1. Mishna Brurah 558:3 and Kaf Hachaim OC 558:7 add that some refrain from marital relations on that night unless it is the night of tevila. It is permitted to listen to music right after the fast on Motzei Tisha B’av (Shaar Hatziyun (558:4), Piskei Teshuvot 558:3).

  101. ↑ Mishna Brurah 552:23 writes that the Magen Avraham holds that one shouldn't have meals with friends on Shabbat when it is Tisha Bav, however, the Bechor Shor argues that if one usually has such meals one shouldn't desist.
