Tisha beAv

Strange holidays
A Canadian girl from a remote village came to work as housemaid in a  wealthy Jewish home.
Then she came back home for leave, her relatives asked her what kind of people the Jews were?
The Jews are rather nice. They are always most polite to me, give me presents, pay for medical help for me, really, no complaints. Only they have strange holidays:
"They have a weekly holiday named "Shabbat", when they eat in the dining room and smoke in the toilet ."
"Then they have a holiday called "Tisha-Be'Av" which is a reminder of their great Temple which was destroyed in Biblical times. They smoke in the dining room but eat in the toilet. "
"And they have a holiday named "Yom-Kippur" when they eat and smoke in the toilet” ...
