A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This year we will not fast on Tisha b'Av!, the day commemorating the destruction in the past of the Holy Temples in Jerusalem (see the last 4 articles).
That's because it falls on Shabbat, so the fast is postponed until sunset on Shabbat Day. It continues until we make Havdala on Sunday night. The 5th of Av (Monday night - Tuesday) is the 440th "Hilula" (yahrzeit celebration) of the Holy Ari, greatest of the Tzefat Kabbalists. Join KabbalaOnline in Tzefat at ASCENT, and thousands of others all around the town for the annual pilgrimage and Tzefat celebration. |
