What Happened on the Ninth of Av?

On Tisha B’Av, five national calamities occurred:

During the time of Moses, Jews in the desert accepted the slanderous report of the 10 Spies, and the decree was issued forbidding them from entering the Land of Israel.

The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians, led by Nebuchadnezzar. 100,000 Jews were slaughtered and millions more exiled.

The Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans, led by Titus. Some two million Jews died, and another one million were exiled.

The Bar Kochba revolt was crushed by Roman Emperor Hadrian. The city of Betar – the Jews’ last stand against the Romans – was captured and liquidated. Over 100,000 Jews were slaughtered.

The Temple area and its surroundings were plowed under by the Roman general Turnus Rufus. Jerusalem was rebuilt as a pagan city – renamed Aelia Capitolina – and access was forbidden to Jews.

Other grave misfortunes throughout Jewish history occurred on the Ninth of Av, including:

The Spanish Inquisition culminated with the expulsion of Jews from Spain on Tisha B’Av in 1492.

World War One broke out on the eve of Tisha B’Av in 1914 when Germany declared war on Russia. German resentment from the war set the stage for the Holocaust.

On the eve of Tisha B’Av 1942, the mass deportation began of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto, en route to Treblinka.

27 July 2023 - 9 Av 5783

Today is Tisha B’Av (the Ninth of Av). Tisha B’Av is a day of mourning. It commemorates the anniversary of a number of disasters in Jewish history, including the destruction of the first and second temples. Other tragedies on or near the 9th of Av include the expulsion of the Jewish people from England (1290 CE), France (1306 AD), and Spain (1492 AD). Also on the 9th of Av, Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, sending the first and second World Wars into motion.

On Tisha B’Av some observe a twenty-five hour fast, lasting from sunset last night to nightfall tonight. Other observances may include refraining from washing, working, or even wearing leather shoes.

Conflicted Tisha b'Av feelings (which feels like a given).

We have Torah study on Thursday mornings, and I joined from work in hopes we'd be reading Eicha, and so felt a little weird when we mostly talked instead about the Sh'ma. Yes, it's in the parsha this week (which I also have big feelings about!), but it's Tisha b'Av and it feels wrong because we're not supposed to do Torah study today.

But my rabbi was very cynical about it, today, because of what's happening around the world (and in Israel). I missed study last week (I join from work, so it's never clear if I'll be able to go), and apparently she'd talked about how she doesn't typically mark Tisha b'Av because she sees the diaspora as good for Judaism.

And I just...I have such incredibly complex feelings about that. I am proud to be a diaspora Jew, and I think there's incredible beauty in the diaspora. But while it may be good for Judaism, that isn't the same thing as it being good for the Jewish people. But! They're incredibly intertwined. But! Anything based on sinat chinam like Tisha b'Av, I just...I cannot see it as something we shouldn't mark as a day of mourning.

There is joy after mourning (for everything there is a season). There is joy in diaspora (the community is only so diverse because of diaspora). Does that make the mourning "good"? The diaspora "good"? Is that a reasonable way to talk or think about things on this level of pain and oodles of time and people and space?

And I was already having complicated feelings, which I've mentioned in a few places, because there is just an incredible amount of personal mourning going on in my life right now. And trying to engage in communal mourning, when my own community experiences it differently from me because I'm more observant than my community's average, has been...difficult.

I don't know.

But we talked about a quote today, that if the world is destroyed by sinat chinam (baseless hatred), we will build it again from ahavat chinam (baseless love).

I hope we all make it.

For this our heart is faint.

For these things our eyes are dim:

for the mountain of Zion,

which is desolate.

The foxes walk on it.

Lamentations 5:17-19

I am Av

they say, long ago I was made for rejoicing for dancing and vineyards and love

until something went wrong and the Temple was burning the dance turned to mourning my world turned to ash

they say Av was meant for rejoicing

~

eicha; alas how can it be so?

~

some fasts are holy and some fasts are holes mine is the latter

a void never full

wrenched with wailing and weeping and wearying tears evening and mourning for two thousand years

belly as empty as a shattered glass heart as shattered as an empty city

empty shattered

I am Av shattered and empty

~

eicha; alas how have we come here?

~

I am Av lamenting from the floor grateful that this is expected for I am too tired to stand

~

eicha

alas

~

pleasures, forgotten forgiveness, withdrawn food, music, study forbidden, forgone

yet not to the point of harm-

this, too, is forbidden

for heart-rended mourners rend garments not skin

~

eicha; I ask how do we go on?

~

they say that someday I’ll return to rejoicing

tears turned to glory not grief

collapsing in laughter in lieu of laments

old days renewed as the new days commence

ninth day giving way to my Tu-

so they say

I am Av

meant for rejoicing

~

eicha?

July 2023: Jerusalem Orthodox Jews pray as they read from Eicha, the Book of Lamentations, to mark Tisha B’av at the Western Wall in the Old City. In Judaism, Tisha B’Av is an annual fast day to mark the destruction of the first and the second temple by the Babylonian and Roman empires in Jerusalem
