As the Haifa conference proved, if is not very important to avoid [[The Three Weeks]] entirely. However, practicing Orthodox Jews would appreciate if it wouldn't fall on [[Tisha B'Av]], the last day of The Three Weeks. (Orthodox Jews would also appreciate if it wouldn't be on Saturday, but everybody understands that it's not practical.) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
