LAWS OF  TISHA  B' AV THAT FALLS  ON SUNDAY 

 

(2018-5778)

 

Usually on Erev Tisha B'Av, there is a final meal before the fast that is called the Seudah Ha-Mafseket.  At this meal one may not eat more than one cooked food (usually a hard boiled egg). 

When Tisha B'Av falls out on Shabbat (as is the case this year) or Sunday, the final meal is the Seudah Shelishit.  SinceTisha B'Av falls out this year on Shabbat, July 21st, none of the usual restrictions applies.  One may even eat meat and drink wine at the Seudah Shelishit, BUT one must stop eating before sunset.  This year the time of sunset on Shabbat is at 8:23PM, at which time one must stop eating.

 

We do not, however, remove our shoes until after Shabbat.  This week Shabbat ends at 9:11 pm  At the close of Shabbat, one should recite the following:Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh le-chol, then remove one's shoes and put on sneakers or any other footwear that contains no leather.  It is advisable to bring your Tisha B'av 

non-leather footwear to Shul before Shabbat so that you will be able to change accordingly after Shabbat.

 

We will be davening Maariv on Motzaei Shabbat at shul at 9:20 pm so that we can first change our shoes after Shabbat and then travel to shul with our families.  This year on Saturday night (Motzaei Shabbat), the customary Havdalah is NOT recited.  We will say only the blessing Borei meorei ha-esh, in shul after Maariv.  The Havdalah on the cup of wine is postponed this year until Sunday night after the fast. On Sunday night, only the blessing on the wine and the blessing of Hamavdil are recited.

May we all merit to see the rebuilding of the 

Beit Hamikdash speedily in our time.

 

Life is filled with contradictions.  We often have to manage different forces that come together and pull us in different directions.  This Shabbat is Tisha B'Av.  Although the fast is observed on Sunday, the import of the day is the same and there are some mourning practices that already emerge on Shabbat.  Our job is to understand how to fuse the Simcha of Shabbat Kodesh with the Aveilut and harshness of Tisha B'av.

Shabbat Shalom

About the book:

"A tale of murder, betrayal, heroism and a nation's struggle to leave its frontier culture behind and enter the modern world... Filled with almost mythic characters from our past - stoic Texas Rangers, corrupt robber barons, private detectives, and murderous desperadoes like the Al Spencer gang - Grann's story amounts to a secret history of the American frontier."
