QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy not TO put on Tefillin on the
morning of Tisha B'Av?
ANSWER: The Fast of Tisha
B'Av is one which commentaries
the destruction of the Temple. It's
accompanying customs are similar
to those for the mourner. A
mourner additionally does not
put on the Tefillin on the first
day of mourning and so those of
us who mourn for the Temple in
Jerusalem, likewise do not put on
Tefillin on the morning of Tisha
B'Av. The rabbis deduced this
idea from, a passage in Ezekiel
(Ez. PAID which says make no
mourning for the dead, bind thy
headpiece upon thee" This i'm
plies that when in mourning the
headpiece is not bound up upon
the head. The headpiece has been
taken to refer to the Tefillin of
the Head. There is an interesting
note about the Hebrew word for
''headpiece." In Hebrew this word
"Pe'er" has the same letters as
the word "Efer" which means
Ashes" The commentaries have
noted that in the case of mourn
ing the "attire" of the head is
replaced with ashes as symbol
of the fact that that which we
loved has been burnt and lost to
us. For this reason it is still
custom among some Jews to put
some upon the head, even as it is
for bridegroom to do as sign
of remembering the destruction of
the Temple. Because the above
statement refers to the head only,
some only omit the phylactery of
the head.

QUESTION: Why is il custom
ary not to wear a Tails" on the
morning of Tisha B'Av?
ANSWER: The sages base this
custom upon a Midrashic inter-
probation of a passage in the Book
of Lamentations which reads ''The
Lord hath done that which he de-
vised, He hath performed his
word" Lamentations 2:17) The
statement is interpreted by the
Midrash to mean that che rent
his purple" (Midrash Rabbah,
Lamentations, y. The essence of
Tails lies in its fringes which
were originally of a purplish
tinge and thus not wearing the
Tails helps us emulate the grief
of the Lord himself over the de-
struction of the Temple. It is, like
the absence of the Tefillin, an
other sign of mourning.
= =
QUESTION: Why are the Tails
and Tefillin worn at the afternoon
service?
ANSWER: There are two basic
reasons for this. One is that the
prophetic readings of consolation
have already been read at the
afternoon service and thus the
mourning crisis has begun to pass.
Another is that the practice of not
wearing Tails and Tefillin is a
matter of dispute among the
sages. Consequently, not wearing
them in the morning and wearing
them in the afternoon is a matter
of compromise between the two
