DON'T DO IT UNTIL AFTER SHKIAH!!!! At least here in Israel, the day you are most likely to be in a fatal car crash is tisha bav. By the way, the day of the week you are most likely to die in a crash is shabbat!

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to scare you, I just want you to know that it is not a good time for jews right now. If you can at all wait until after the fast, please do so.

well, my dh's boss who happens to be a Bobov chassid, apparantly got a heter to travel to China on business:!: last year Tisha B'av! He was even telling everyone he only has to fast a couple hours because of crossing of the timezones

This year he did it again, except I think he left 2 days ago, while in the nine days. Personally , I don't get it. shock

Don't forget you may be feeling dizzy or faint, thats probably why there are so many car accidents on tisha b'av is Israel.

We have a bar mitzva on shabbos, only a 3 hour drive but since my dh gets migraines when he fasts, we are going friday am.
