About Tisha B'Av
On Tisha B'Av Jews fast for twenty-five hours and sit on the floor reading Lamentations. No wedding is held on it or in the weeks before. Once it is over, the mood is turned toward comfort, and the fifteenth of Av, Tu B'Av, is called a day of love. The date follows the Hebrew calendar and is moved a day when it falls on the Sabbath.
