What does it mean and what to expect?  

For those who are wondering, Tisha B’Av (the 9th day of the month Av) is the day we commemorate the destruction of the first and second temples that once stood in Jerusalem by fasting for a whole day. In Tel Aviv, some businesses are closed, public transportation runs (limited schedule) and it is a normal working day for most of us. Although there are no official prayers, there is a public Candle Lighting on the Beach. Click here to learn more about holidays in Israel.
