The Day Before The 9 Days

From August 1st to August 9th of this year (2011), we find ourselves in a period of time of the Jewish calendar called the Nine Days. This is a period of mourning for Jews, as many evil things over the centuries have occured during this time. Well, some of the things we are not supposed to do during this time are rather fun and enjoyable the rest of the time, so I decided to take advantage of the last day before going in. And, after outlining some of the things that Jews are not allowed to do during this time (some as a sign of mourning, some because they are considered dangerous, and we don't put ourselves at risk during the Nine Days), I decided to think of some things that CAN be done during the Nine days. Stay tuned!
