July 21, 2001 - New Moon - Av 1
July 29, 2001 - Tisha
B'Av - Av 9
Fast to commemorate destruction of 1st and 2nd Temple. "Jewish tradition
states that 'the Messiah will appear on Tisha B'Av, and the day of mourning will
become a national day of rejoicing with the rebuilt Temple" (Ready to
Rebuild, Thomas Ice and Randall Price; p 213). — "Tu B'av is a traditional
day of national unity and joy when the Elders of Israel, through a special
decree, married off 200 males from the tribe of Binyamin, thereby saving the
existence of one of the 12 tribes of Israel (Judges, Chap. 21). In the course of
the Biblical event, the soon-to-be brides danced in the vineyards of Shilo, then
Israel's capital." (Arutz Sheva News Service)
