TISHA BAV(DONT FORGET ABOUT OU WEBCAST)



The fast of Tishah B'Av begins this evening(motzi shabbos) at sunset.

Some of the fast's mourning practices--such as refraining from Torah study other than texts related to the events and nature of the fast day(some opinions say if it will cause bitul torah you can learn what you want on shabbos) --are observed beginning from midday today.

Finish eating by sunset. After nightfall say, "Blessed is He who distinguishes between the holy and the mundane." No Havdalah tonight, but light a candle and recite the fire blessing. Havdalah is recited after the fast (omitting the candle and incense blessings).missed the live webcat dont worry you can still see the recorded ou tisha bav webcast here
