Jews around the world are joining those in Israel Wednesday night and Thursday to mark the Ninth of the Hebrew month of Av fast day - Tisha B'Av.  An annual day of mourning for the Jewish people, it marks the Jews' rejection of the Land of Israel in the sin of the spies (Numbers: Chap 13) and the destruction of the First and Second Temples.

Israel National News presents the debut of a video journey with Yishai Fleisher into the meaning of Tisha B'Av today on the new New 'Eye on Zion' series. (Scroll down for more Tisha B'Av articles and programming)
