Members of the Bnei Akiva movement gather at Rabin Sqaure in Tel-Aviv for the ritual of Tisha Be’av, on August 13 2016. Observant and secular Jews gathered to discuss the meanning of the holy day. The Tisha B’Av ceremony, literally the ninth day of the month of Av in the Hebraic calendar, is the darkest day in the Jewish calendar, marking the destruction of the two temples, first by the Babylonians in 587 BC and later by the Romans in 70 AD.
