Today is Tisha B'Av a traditional day of mourning for the Jewish people and a collective fast day. On this one day, both the First and Second Temple in Jerusalem were destroyed, 500 years apart, on this day, Jews were ordered expelled from Spain in 1492, and other tragedies in Jewish history. It is also said that the Messiah/mashiach will be born on Tisha B'Av.
Here is a video about this day. Ask kids what they are thinking and praying for today. What do they think the Beit Hamikdash/New Temple in Jerusalem will look like when it is rebuilt?
