This week, we present Part 1 of the mini-series on the 9 Days:

Vegan Values? Why are Wine Meat Verboten? When and why did these pre-Tisha B’Av dietary restrictions (excepting Shabbat) kick in, and why the Ashkenaz/Sephard disparity regarding this prohibition?

No Meat? No Travel? No Wine? NO WAY!

Thursday, August 1, from sundown (8:41 pm) onward, the observance of the nine saddest days on the Jewish calendar begins. Everyone is encouraged to take part in this Pre-Tisha B’Av time of remembrance for the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash, Tzion and Yerushalayim. Those mindful of the loss are assured to rejoice in its return! The expanded observant restrictions include refraining from activities such as eating meat, drinking wine (except on Shabbat), as well as non-essential cleaning, laundering or ironing. Please make sure to do your drop offs and pickups at the cleaners before then. Swimming, boating, pleasure bathing, trips and similar activities are also not allowed. From Friday, August 2 onward, we focus instead on laundering the “garments” of our soul by cleansing ourselves of inappropriate thoughts, speech and deeds.
