Having gone through Israeli education, I just realized that the true meaning of Tisha B’av was suppressed in my school in Tel Aviv or my synagogue in Petah Tikva. My family never discussed it. Reading this article and the comments on Tisha B’av tells me that we Jews still haven’t learned the “never again” lesson of Tisha B’av. We are still vulnerable to whoever wants to harm us. We Jews are not proud people. We are apologetic for our survival. People who have contributed so much to humanity should be able to shift emphasis and start contributing more to the survival of Israel.

Looks like Tsha b’av is the original Friday the 13.

I don’t think the article is correct in saying that “Moses ordered his doubting emissaries killed.” They were killed not by Moshe but in a plague resulting from G-d’s wrath at their lack of trust(Numbers Chapter 14, verse 36). If anything, Moshe had tried to save their lives along with the rest of the Jewish people (Numbers Chapter 14, verse 19).

July 18 1290 CE. King Edward I of England orders all Jews (then numbering around 16,000) to leave England by November 1 (All Saints Day); on the Hebrew calendar this is Tisha B’Av, a day that commemorates many calamities.

Also the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1046CE? (not sure of exact year but correct century).

This short description of Tisha B’Av omits a whole host of major tragedies which occured on or around this day. The destruction of the Rhineland communities during the Crusades, the Chelmniecki massacres in the Ukraine, the beginning of deportations from the Warsaw Ghetto are among these.
It errors in saying that religious Jews do not put on Tefillin on this day. Tefillin are not put on in the Morning Prayer and instead put on in the afternoon Prayer.
Tisha B’Av symbolized for generations not only the destruction of the Temples but the condition of Jewish Exile.
The ingathering of Exiles, and the establishment of the Jewish state raise questions as to the proper status of and observance of the Day.
In Israel today religious Jews observe the day by fasting and other prohibitions. But the general community honors the day by closing down places of entertainment and public festivity.
