https://ibb.co/PYnbS5M Tisha B'Av Tisha b'Av or Tish'ah b'Av (in Hebrew תשעה באב, tish‘āh bə-āḇ) is the main day of fasting and abstinence from rabbinic Judaism. Its name refers to the ninth day (Tisha) of the Hebrew month of Av, which falls into the boreal cannula. It is often called the "saddest day in Jewish history" and traditionally commemorates the destruction of the First Temple of Jerusalem by the Army of Nebuchadnezzar II, the destruction of the Second Temple by the legions of Titus, the fall of the fortress of Betar ( and consequently, the collapse of the Bar Kojba Rebellion, followed by the intense persecution led by Hadrian), the expulsion of the Jews from England by King Edward I, the expulsion of the Jews from France, and the banishment of the Jews of Spain by King Ferdinand and Queen Elizabeth in 1492.
