This year Tisha B'Av falls out right after Shabbos  and there are a few things you need to know. First   we eat a regular Shalosh Seudot. We eat a regular  third meal. You can eat meat. You can drink wine.   We do not have a Seuda Hamafseket, a final  meal the way we usually do. Once sunset comes,   we stop eating, we stop drinking, and we  stop washing our bodies in the way that   we normally wash. If you wash your hands,  you wash them till the knuckles. Once the   time for Shabbos to end comes, we pronounce baruch hamavdil bein kodesh lechol, that   ends our Shabbos. We take off our Shabbos  clothing, we take off our leather shoes,   and we make a bracha on fire the  way we normally do in Havdalah,   borei me'orei ha'eish- we do not make the rest  of Havdalah, only the bracha on the candle,   on the fire. Then we go to shul and we observe  a meaningful Tisha B'Av. Once the fast is over,   we make Havdalah before we eat. And the  Havdalah we make is only on wine. We do   not make a bracha on the fire and we do not  make a bracha on the besamim, on the herbs.
