In the past, I attended synagogue services and events only on High Holidays, thinking that those were the only special days in the Jewish calendar. But now that I am becoming more and more observant, I am learning that there are many more important dates in Jewish tradition that I had no idea about. One of them is TishaB'av, which is considered the saddest day for Jews.
This year, I decided that it was essential I learn more about this holy day (not holiday). In this episode, you will learn about my first experience observing TishaB'av at Chabad - what the day entails, what me must do and not do on this special day, and why it is the saddest day in the Jewish calendar.
