Today we remember Tisha B'Av, a day in Jewish history of great suffering for the Jewish people. We lost both the First and Second Temples on this day, Jews were expelled from England on this day, the Spanish Inquisition expulsion order was signed on this day, and other calamitous events occurred in on this day.
I could not find a great video about Tisha B'Av to show to kids. If uou have any suggestions please post them below!
Otherwise, today is a good day to discuss with your kids what is Tisha B'Av, why it is important to remember, and what lessons we can learn from it--mainly Jewish unity and belief in God.
