Destruction of the Temple (Tisha b'Av), 8/09/2008 - 8/10/2008

Countrywide, Israel

Commemorated throughout Israel, Tisha b'Av is a religious day of fasting and a day of remembrance and mourning for the tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people. Primarily, the day commemorates the Destruction of the First and Second Temples (the First was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586BC and the Second by the Romans in AD70). The day is observed on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av (July or August) and is a holiday throughout the country

Ramadan, 9/01/2008 - 9/29/2008

Jerusalem, Israel

Ramadan is the Muslim festival of fasting and is the most important festival in the Islamic Calendar. Celebrated by Muslims all over the world, the celebrations in the holy city of Jerusalem are particularly special. The arrival of the crescent moon in the night sky signals the start of 30 days of fasting during which Muslims don't eat, drink or smoke during the day, eating all their meals before sunrise and after sunset. Consequently, Jerusalem's Islamic cafes and coffee shops throng with activity each evening during Ramadan. Fasting is one of the pillars of the Islamic faith and reminds Muslims of the plight of the poor, sick and needy. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the 30-day fasting period and is a great celebration throughout the Muslim world and particularly in Jerusalem. On the evening of Eid al-Fitr it is common to get together with friends, families and loved ones for a feast
