Jews congregated at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Saturday night to mark Tisha Be'av, the day set aside in the Jewish calendar to mourn the destruction of both the First and Second Temples.Instead of the ninth day of the month of Av, the fast was moved to the tenth day of Av, Asarah Be’av, because the ninth fell on Shabbat.
