Tisha B’Av 2010

What will be the mournful message to Israel this year ?
On a day when Israeli politician Uzi Arad speaks blasphemy against the God of Israel and says decadent,wicked,perverted,godless America is Israel's insurance policy will God send a  mournful message to the harlots of Israel ?

The ninth day of Av - literally: Tisha B’Av - is the day on which both Holy Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, roughly 2,000 and 2,500 years ago. The first third of the month, therefore, is a time of heightened sorrow.

Tisha B’Av is also the day on which the Children of Israel accepted the slanderous reports of the Twelve Scouts sent by Moses regarding the Land of Israel, and on which Jerusalem was razed following Bar Kokhba's revolt against the Roman Empire.


Other calamities occurred on this day, as well, including the expulsion of English Jewry in 1290, the expulsion of Spanish Jewry in 1492, the outbreak of World War I in 1914, and the end of legal Jewish residence in Gush Katif in 2005.
