	Parshat Mas'ei 5765 - The Nine Days - OU.ORG
		Because of the restrictions of laundering clothes during the Nine Days, and the additional restriction of wearing freshly laundered clothes, it is a good idea to prepare for the Nine Days before this Shabbat by taking several clean shirts, etc. and wear them each for a brief period of time.
		(For Shabbat during the Nine Days one may wear freshly laundered clothes.) Clean underwear is considered a hygienic necessity and not a luxury and therefore may be worn without the "pre-9 days processing" of outer clothes.
		There are other issues during the Nine Days for which it is better to consult a Rav rather than rely on a short review of practices during the Nine Days.

	The Nine Days Queen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is a tragedy of long ago, yet the story of Lady Jane Grey, the "Nine Days Queen," has never lost its sombre fascination over the more than four hundred years since her death.
		After a reign of nine days, Queen Jane and her husband Guilford Dudley were arrested and imprisoned.
		The Nine Days Queen is not only a convincingly life-like portrait of an unhappy young woman, but, as well, accurately suggests the machiavellian Tudor politics that led to her untimely death.

	Forty Nine Days (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		From Passover to Shavuot, we conduct a daily count of the days and weeks in reenactment of the forty-nine-day process of self-refinement which our ancestors underwent from their exodus from Egypt on the first day of Passover to the revelation at Sinai on Shavuot.
		Each of these days becomes a component of our reborn selves, as we internalize the freedom obtained at the Exodus as the essence of our commitment to G-d as His chosen people.
		On the second day of the count, we possess two days of the Omer process; by its final day, we shall have amassed forty-nine units of time, and the specific qualities they embody, with which to approach this year’s experience of Sinai.

		It culminates tomorrow beginning at sundown on a day called Tish'a B'av, or the Ninth of Av, a day of fasting and mournful communal prayers.
		The day has become a symbol of Jewish suffering throughout the ages, from the final loss of independence in 70 A.D. at the hands of the Romans, to the brutal persecutions of the Middle Ages, to the Nazi genocide.

	Why Nine Days?
		Mom's a naturally inquisitive sort and the idea that her middle-aged son would take nine days away from work and family was guaranteed to stimulate some curiosity.
		The idea that those nine days would be spent doing meditation was doubly intriguing.
		So, the basic answer for "why nine days" is that I'm going off to learn more: to see a bit deeper, to refine the tools a bit more, and, perhaps, to ease a bit more suffering.

		There are no sources in the Gemara which address the period of mourning known as "The Three Weeks and The Nine Days," although the Gemara does say that there should be less happiness from the first of Av.
		It is prohibited to take baths and showers or swim during "the nine days." However, washing your hands and feet alone, in cold water, is permitted.
		Because the actual destruction and burning continued for at least a day, many have the minhag of keeping the restrictions of the nine days until the tenth of Av.

	Ink 19 :: Nine Days
		Nine Days will, in the annals of time, no doubt be unfairly dismissed as mere one-hit wonders.
		The result -- like Hampson's recently issued solo EP -- is a triumphant record that refuses to wallow in the lows of Nine Day's recent history, concentrating instead on creating a more mature variation of the band's modern rock sound.
		However, "Reality TV," which takes a wry look at what passes for entertainment these days, shows Desveaux at his best and reveals the only reference to Nine Day's history with former label Sony: "So it was fun / We had this great little song / It went to number one / And then tomorrow.

		Similarly, during these nine days [between Rosh Chodesh Av and Tish'ah B'av], it is forbidden to wear or spread [freshly laundered clothing or linen], even if they were washed before [the nine days] (1).
		Spreading out freshly laundered bed linen during the nine days is prohibited; one may not even change tablecloths or towels, unless they have become soiled ("Summary of the Halachos of the Three Weeks" by Rav Shimon Eider, pg 10).
		Any piece of clothing that has been worn before the nine days for long enough to cause it to lose its freshly laundered feel, may be worn during the nine days.

		We are now entering a time referred to as "The Nine Days." These are the days beginning with the first day of the Hebrew month "Av," and ending with the ninth of Av.
		These days are the prelude to the destruction of the Holy Temple which was located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
		The Code of Jewish Law directs us to keep the laws of mourning to varying degrees culminating on the ninth of Av when we fast and mourn as a mourner does during the seven-day period of mourning for a close relative known as "shiva".
