Halachic Notes
The fast begins at 8:17 PM on Wednesday and ends at 8:49 PM on Thursday.
Davening is done quietly, without nusah, and with the lights off. Feel free to bring a flashlight (no candles) and a siddur. 
We will be sitting on the floor, with chairs available for those who need.
As a sign of mourning, it is customary not to greet people on Tisha B'Av.

Giving Tzedakah on Tisha B'Av:                        
We are told in the Torah to turn our suffering as in Egypt into empathy for the vulnerable. We enact this on Tisha B'Av, a day of remembrance for sufferings, by collecting donations. We will announce shortly which organizations we plan to collect for.
