August 5 - Tisha B'Av (Hebrew / Israeli holday) -- recalls 587 B.C.E. and 70 C.E.

August 5, 2014 Tisha B'Av (Judaism) Tisha B'Av is a fast day that solemnizes the destruction of the first and second temples in Jerusalem, which occurred on the same day roughly 650 years apart. This day is often recognized as the day of mourning, not just for the loss of the temples, but for other tragic events in Jewish history.__________ http://www.csee.org/resources/religious-calendar/august.html
