Go check Wiki for the page on that date (August 4). See what the first event in history is. Right there at the top of the page.

It doesn’t even note the Hebrew date, just the Gregorian.

And Obama’s arrival on the public scene at the Dem convention in 2004? That day was 9 Av (so okay, his speech occurred in the evening, IOW the 10th, but...??!)

Though the Fleet center(site of the 2004 DNC Convention) is no longer called that, I thought it amusing at the time that the dems were holding their convention at a place that had the same name as an enema.
