When Erev Tisha B’Av falls on Shabbat: This year, the observance of the fast of Tisha B’Av is on Sunday. On Shabbat, the last meal before the fast is a regular Seudat Shlisheet. (The traditional Seudah HaMafseket of bread and a hard boiled egg is NOT eaten on Shabbat.) All eating must cease before SUNSET (8:13 pm).

In Congregation Torah Ohr, we have scheduled an early Mincha (4:45 pm), and are encouraging people to return home to eat Seudat Shlisheet. We have scheduled a delayed Ma’ariv (9:20 pm). In this case, while at home, one should recite Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol, (Blessed is He who distinguishes between the sacred and the profane) to indicate the conclusion of Shabbat (no earlier than 8:52 pm). One should then change to non-leather shoes. It is permissible to then drive to Shul to join in Ma’ariv and Eicha.

For one who is not returning home on Shabbat afternoon, non-leather shoes should be brought to Shul on Friday. After Shabbat ends, recite Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol and change to non-leather shoes.

Office Hours Mon. - Thur. 9:00am - 3:00pm

SELECTED LAWS OF TISHA B’AV (Sunday, postponed observance of fast)

1. Eating and drinking are prohibited on Tisha B’Av. One who is ill is exempt from fasting. Vital medication should be taken on Tisha B’Av.

2. Bathing and washing is prohibited. Local washing of soiled areas, and washing of hands after using the restroom, are permitted, as needed. In the morning, upon arising, the customary Netilat Yadayim (washing of the hands) is done only up to the knuckles.

3. One is prohibited from: a) wearing leather shoes; b) anointing one’s body for pleasure (deodorants, perfumes, etc.); and c) engaging in marital relations.

4. During Tisha B’Av, one’s thoughts should dwell on the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash, its implications, and our personal commitment to Torah observance. Sincere repentance and further development will help ensure the speedy rebuilding of the Holy Temple and an intensified relationship with Hashem.

One should not divert one’s thoughts, therefore, by reading, walking for pleasure, etc. One may read and/or study laws and texts applying to Tisha B’Av, accounts of the destruction, tragedies in Jewish history, etc. The study of Torah, other than the above exceptions, is prohibited as Torah study serves to gladden the Jewish soul.

5. One does not greet others on Tisha B’Av, even to say Good Morning. If one is greeted by another, return the greeting in a low tone or appropriate gesture.

6. One should deprive oneself of some comfort, if possible, when sleeping. E.g.: If one usually sleeps with two pillows, on the night of Tisha B’Av use only one.

7. Work which takes substantial time to complete (with the exception of work involving financial loss), is forbidden until midday of Tisha B’Av.

8. Through midday, one may not sit in a normal manner on a chair, sofa, etc. One should rather sit on the floor or on a low stool. Halacha recognizes that one’s personal health status may not allow one to observe some of the restrictions. Please contact the Rabbi with any questions.

9. One should wait until after midday to prepare food for after the fast.

10. Tallit and Tefillin are not worn during Schacharit, but are worn for Mincha. The undergarment Tzitzit (Beged Katan) is worn but no blessing is said in the morning.

11. This year, as Tisha B’Av is deferred to Sunday, bathing, washing clothing, and cutting of hair are permitted Sunday evening. Eating meat, drinking wine, and listening to music are permitted as of Monday morning.
