Lessons on The Laws of Tisha B'Av

21. Minors

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

It is a mitzva to educate our children to observe the mitzvot relating to Tisha Be-Av and mourning over the destruction of the Temple, just as we teach them about all other mitzvot.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 27 5782

20. When Tisha Be-Av Falls Out on Shabbat and is Postponed

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

When the ninth of Av falls out on Shabbat, the fast is postponed to Sunday. On that Shabbat, we show no signs of mourning.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 27 5782

19. The Laws of the Tenth of Av

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

The Babylonians conquered the Temple on the seventh of Av and set it ablaze toward evening on the ninth of the month, and it continued burning throughout the tenth. The Jewish people refrained from eating meat and drinking wine on that date.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 27 5782

18. Torah Verses in the Prayers and in the Berakha of She-asa Li Kol Tzorki

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

Most of the passages recited in the Korbanot section were included in the regular prayer service. On Tisha Be-Av, when one may not study Torah, the question arises: May one recite these passages?

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 27 5782

17. Removing the Curtain from the Ark; Talit and Tefilin

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

We remove the curtain from the synagogue’s ark prior to Ma’ariv. Many have a custom not to wear a talit or tefilin at Shaĥarit.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 24 5782

16. Aneinu, Nahem, Birkat Kohanim, and Tahanun

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

The laws of reciting Aneinu on Tisha Be-Av are the same as on the other fast days. The Sages instituted that one should add the Naĥem prayer to the berakha of Boneh Yerushalayim in the Amida whenever Aneinu is recited.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 24 5782

14. Working

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

The Sages state: “Anyone who works on Tisha Be-Av will never see any sign of blessing from it”.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Cheshvan 24 5782

15. Reading Eikha and Dimming the Lights

Chapter 10: The Laws of Tisha Be-Av

We read Eikha after praying Ma’ariv. It is customary to darken the synagogue on the night of Tisha Be-Av. Many people have a custom to read it again during the day, after reciting the Kinot.
