The Ninth of Av is the culmination of events beginning on the Tenth of Tevet when the Babylonia siege of Jerusalem began.

(The Tenth of Tevet is also a fast day because of the siege, as well as being the designated fast for the misfortune of the Five Book’s translation into Greek.)

”On TishB’Av 2003, at the Democratic National Convention, Barak Obama was catapulted from relative obscurity to national fame, after giving a speech which electrified the convention. He would go on to become the most avid anti Israel president in American history.”

This national tragedy is the gift that keeps giving for both Israel, the United States, and the world...
