Shabbos Afternoon: Aug 6th - 9th of Av
Regular Shalosh Seudos - There is no Seudas Hamfsekes so we do not eat the customary bread & egg (תקנב:י).
The fast begins at Shkia 8:02 pm. Everyone must finish eating & drinking before this time.
Continue wearing Shabbos clothing, leather shoes and sitting on regular chairs - until the end of Shabbos - 9:02 PM (תקנג:ב קו”ה ע’ רפג)
Havdalah - Although proper Havdalah will be made on Sunday night, one must say “Boruch Hamavdil Bein Kodesh L’chol” before doing Melocha, changing into weekday attire and putting on Tisha Bav shoes. One should also make a Borei M’orie Haish on a Havdalah candle as this can only be done on Motzei Shabbos.
Nursing or pregnant women, or anyone else who needs to break their fast, must make a full Havdalah (minus the Brocho on Besomim) before eating. A cup of tea, coffee, orange juice or coke should be used instead of wine.
Sunday Night: Aug 7th - 10th of Av
Havdalah - no Brocho on Besomim or fire ( תקנו:א). Wine or grape juice can be used.
Since this year the fast was pushed off till Sunday, washing clothing, bathing, and haircuts are permitted as soon as the fast finishes.
One should wait until the morning (you do not need to wait till Chatzos) before eating meat, drinking wine or listening to music.
