Tishah B'Av Afternoon

Laws and Customs | August 13, 2024

In the afternoon, the intensity of mourning lessens and some restrictions are relaxed.

It is customary to wait until midday before preparing for the post-fast meal. However, one may begin preparations for a Seudas Mitzvah before midday.

After midday, it is permitted to sit on chairs of regular height, unless one will still be finishing Kinos.

Chitas is learned after midday, but Rambam is postponed until evening.
