The Fast of Tisha b'Av is observed on Motzei Shabbat and Sunday
There are no food restrictions in the meal before the fast. We may have meat and wine and any number of dishes. We may eat in a large group and bench with a Mezuman. No special symbolically mournful foods need be eaten. The meal should be concluded before sunset, 8:02pm.
There will be an early Mincha at Ohab Zedek at 5:00 PM and 6:30pm to facilitate the timing of this meal.
Shoes to be worn for Tisha B’Av should be prepared before Shabbat. If one forgot to prepare shoes in advance, verbally recite Hamavdil Bein Kodesh L’chol and wear them to shul - Maariv will meet at 8:45pm in the both Main Shul and Bet Medrash.
We recite Ata Chonantanu in Maariv, but we do not make Havdala until after the fast. No work should be done until after Ma’ariv or reciting Hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol. The only part of Havdala recited on Motz’aei Shabbat is Borei M’orei Ha’eish, preferably before Eicha.
If one must eat or partake of a drink other than water or seltzer during the fast, Havdala should be recited first, but Havdala should not be over wine or grape juice. This Havdala begins with Shehakol and skips B’samim.
After the fast we may not eat before Havdala, which begins with borei pri hagafen and skips B’samim and Eish. Ata Chonantanu is not recited in Ma’ariv after the fast. We will say Kiddush Levana on Sunday night.
Restrictions of the nine days usually continue until Chatzot the day after Tisha B’Av. This year, on Monday the only restriction that continues this year is of meat and wine and only until the morning.
As above, if Havdala is usually made on hagefen that custom may be maintained, for Sunday night.
All other nine days restrictions conclude with the fast.
"May we merit to see G-d's return to Zion in compassion..."
