Overview
About the event
Tisha B�??Av began over 2,500 years ago. It has started after the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BCE.
The day was established to mourn this loss. Later, it also came to mark the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE. These two events were devastating for the Jewish people, leading to great sorrow and hardship.
Over time, other tragedies were added to the list of remembrances on this day. These include the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 and the start of World War I, which had severe consequences for many Jewish communities.
The rabbis of ancient times recognized the importance of remembering these painful moments. They encouraged the observance of Tisha B�??Av to keep these memories alive.
This practice continues today, offering a way to reflect on history and its lasting impact.
