Today is Tisha B'Av, the Fast of the 9th of Av,
which began last night at sunset, and ends tonight at nightfall.
It is "a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have
befallen the Jewish people, many of which coincidentally have occurred
on the ninth of Av."
See http://www.jewfaq.org/holidayd.htm
The fast is a complete fast, with the same type of food / water
restrictions as Yom Kippur.
