Tisha B'Av starts the evening of July 28. To be honest, I've only observed this fasting holiday once in my life, when I was just 17 and on a NFTY trip to Israel. Before that, I'd never even heard of it. Why don't Reform Jews observe this holiday more? My theory is that it got left out of our education because it's a summer holiday and we didn't learn about it at Hebrew school.
What are your thoughts? Should we be more aware of Tisha B'Av? And how should we go about educating our kids about it?
