Three Weeks, or Bein ha-Metzarim, is an observance in the Jewish faith mourning the destruction of the first (586 BC) and second Temples (70 AD).
Observed beginning in the Hebrew month of Tammuz, on its seventeenth day, and ending on the ninth day of Av, each aspect of Three Weeks has different traditions.
There are four levels of mourning, and each level intensifies as it moves toward the end of the observance. Throughout Three Weeks, the faithful are not allowed to cut or shave hair, conduct marriages, or other significant celebrations, as Three Weeks is reserved for mourning.
Fasting from meat and reciting the Haftarots on Saturday are common activities. During the final nine days, mourning intensifies with abstinence from poultry, meat, wine, and the taking of hot baths.
