Tisha B'Av 2023 Schedule Tisha B’Av is a sad day in the history of the Jewish people. On this day, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed—twice. The first Holy Temple was destroyed by the Babylonian Empire in 423 BCE. It was a devastating blow to the Jewish people, but we survived and eventually rebuilt the Temple. Then in 69 CE, on the very same day on the Jewish calendar, the Roman Empire destroyed our second Holy Temple.   Wednesday,  July 26th Fast Begins: 8:17 PM Maariv, followed by Eicha: 8:50 PM After Eicha there will be Songs of Reb Shlomo appropriate for Tisha B’av led by Yehuda Green and Rabbi Naftali Citron with special guests.
