The Saddest Day on the Jewish Calendar | Dr. Claude Mariottini – Professor of Old Testament

Dr Claude Mariottini has called attention to one of the important days on the Jewish Calendar. He writes:

The fast of Tisha B’Av begins this Monday evening at sundown and ends on Tuesday night. The fast of Tisha B’Av is known as the “saddest” day on the Jewish calendar.
Tisha B’Av is the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av, a day when the Jewish people remember some of the great tragedies suffered by the Jewish People. Tisha B’Av is a day set apart to lament the anniversaries of the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians and of the Second Temple by Romans.
