Tisha BeAv: Difference between revisions

# Although seudat shlishit is the seudat hamafseket before the fast, one should eat a regular meal. <ref> S"A 552:10 based on taanit 29b that says one may make a meal as extravagant as he pleases on the shabbat of the eighth or ninth of av. Mishna Berura 552:23 adds though that although we cannot publicly display mourning on Shabbat one's mood should at least somewhat reflect the time. </ref> The meal must be finished before sunset. <ref> Rama 552:10 </ref>  

# 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.<ref>Yalkut Yosef 556:4-5</ref>
