In Israel

It's Tisha B'Av already in Israel, which sort of makes me feel like it should be Tisha B'av here too. After all, this is a specific event that took place at this moment, as opposed to other Jewish holidays which are tied to the more general date of the calendar. Anyway, you can read about what's going on here. I find it especially interesting that it's legislated that all places of entertainment in Tel Aviv must be closed.

Meaningful fast to all.
