Nine Days

Searching for meat-free dinner ideas? Use the search filters to help meet your family's unique tastes and needs (no fish? No gluten? No problem) so everyone eats dinner happily.

What Are the Nine Days?

The “nine days” refers to the time between the beginning of the Hebrew month of Av and Tisha b’Av, the observance of the fast commemorating the destruction of the Temple and the Jewish people’s exile from the land of Israel. During this time, Jewish law calls for a subdued communal demeanor and proscribes holding weddings, making major purchases, swimming and bathing for pleasure, and the consumption of wine and meat, among other activities.
