  Tisha B’av and Purim


It is customary for mourners to attend synagogue services to hear the Book of Lamentations (Eikhah) and to recite prayers and lamentations (kinot). They should attend Purim services to hear the reading of the Book of Esther (The Megillah), though they should not of course participate in the joyous celebration of that day.
