On the 9th day of Av, Jews fast and mourn to commemorate both the destruction of the First and Second Temples. Besides Yom Kippur, it is the only other 24-hour fast. Tisha B’Av marks the end of a three-week mourning period, beginning with the fast of the 17th day of Tammuz, which commemorates the first breach in Jerusalem’s walls.
