Tisha B'Av - A Lesson on Prejudice
(07/25/96 9:00am)
Today I am fasting. Tisha B'Av, "the Ninth day of the month of Av," began at sundown last night on the Jewish Calendar. On this day in both 576 BCE and 70 CE, the two Great Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, first by the Babylonians and then by the Romans.
