The Three Weeks is a period of [[mourning]] from the fast of [[Shiva Asar BeTamuz]] until [[Tisha BeAv]], when the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. During this time, Jews observe a number of practices, such as refraining from getting married, listening to music, cutting their hair, and wearing new clothes. The [[Nine Days]], which begin on [[Rosh Chodesh]] Av, are a more stringent period of mourning, during which additional practices are observed. | The Three Weeks is a period of [[mourning]] from the fast of [[Shiva Asar BeTamuz]] until [[Tisha BeAv]], when the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed.
