It is simply the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av. I would say it is an inauspicious day for Jews and list the horrors that have occurred.

thanks teacup but I need help wording this - I need to explain why I cant register tisha b'av and ask special request to reserve me a spot in the class anyway cuz otherwise I will get closed out, I dont really want to get into explaining it but I am not sure how to say it still. If I say its the ninth of av, they'll be like what? and its not a holiday, if I say fast day they'll be like huh? fast, slow, what r you talking about?

Maybe it's appropriate to say a "religious day of mourning" and include the fasting while explaining?

Just say that you can't make it on that day for religious reasons. That it's a significant day in your religion, and that's it.

The contracters call it a holiday. They also can't start work because the whole week is a holiday.
