On the Jewish calendar, today marks the bitter fast day known as Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, the day when the Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. One may ask, "How does the Temple - or its absence - really affect me?" One way to emotionally connect with the impact of the loss of the Temple is to keep in mind that the Temple was God's house where we were able to relate to His presence up close. With its loss, that incredible feeling of being connected to God is not readily available to us. Our Sages teach that one way to bring God closer is by performing acts of charity and good deeds to those in need. Follow in the footsteps of Colel Chabad and support the poor of Jerusalem.

Tisha B'av is the Jewish day of mourning for the countless calamities that have befallen the Jews throughout history, the most tragic of which was the destruction of the Holy Temple. This fine art image of the Western Wall, the last remaining remnant of the outer wall of the Holy Temple will help you to internalize the meaning of Tisha B'av.
