On the ninth day of the month of Ab, we commemorate the destruction of the Temple, the exile of the Jewish people, and all forms of persecution and oppression that our people suffered throughout the ages. This year, the beginning of this fast day is at sunset in the evening of August 2nd, and thus coincides with the ending of Shabbat.
On this day, we do not eat, do not drink, do not bathe, do not wear fresh clothing, we do not wear leather shoes, and we abstain from conjugal interactions, from evening until evening, a full 24-25 hours.
