3:00 PMBet MedrashRabbi Schwartz’s Review:
Tisha B’Av that starts on Saturday Night
- There are no food restrictions in the meal (Shalosh Seudos) before the fast: we may have meat, wine, and any number of dishes. We may eat in a large groups and bentsch with a mezuman. No symbolically mournful foods are eaten.
- Shalosh Seudos should conclude before sunset (8:11pm), which is when the fast starts. Shabbos Mincha at OZ will meet early (5:00pm & 7:00pm) to facilitate the timing of this meal. Maariv will begin at 9:15pm
- Shoes worn for Tisha B’Av should be prepared before Shabbos. If one forgot to prepare shoes in advance, recite ‘HaMavdil’ at 9:01pm and wear them to shul.
- Ata Chonantanu is recited at Maariv, but Havdala is made after the fast. No melacha should be performed until after Maariv or reciting Hamavdil. Only Borei Morei HaEish is recited on Motzei Shabbos, preferably before Eichah.
- If one must eat or drink during the Fast, Havdala should be recited first over Orange or Apple Juice - not Wine or Grape Juice. This Havdalah begins with Shehakol and skips Besamim.
- Nursing mothers or pregnant women who are disturbed by the effects of the fast should please ask for specific details about how to approach the fast.
- After the Fast, we may not eat until Havdala, which begins with Borei Pri haGefen, skipping Besmamim and HaEish. Ata Chonantanu is not recited in Maariv after Tisha B’Av, and Kiddush Levana is recited Sunday night.
- Restrictions of the 9 Days continue until Chatzos (1:02pm) on Monday.
