The Meat Snowball
In this article I wish to present the history of the practice of abstaining from eating meat and drinking wine for nine days, from the first to the ninth of Av. I do not seek to rule on the matter (especially since I spent several years of my life as a vegetarian), but rather to show the snowball effect, in which a tiny grain accumulates greater volume over time.
