9th of Av - Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of the month of Av, is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, on which we fast, deprive ourselves and pray. It is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period of time during which we mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
The mourning continues until noon on the 10th of Av,
the date on which the Second Temple's destruction was complete.

July 27/28, 2023 - 10th of Muharram (Islamic) - Ashura (Arabic: عَاشُورَاء, ʿĀshūrāʾ, [ʕaːʃuːˈraːʔ]) is a day of commemoration in Islam. It occurs annually on the 10th of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar.
Among Shia Muslims, Ashura is observed through large demonstrations of high-scale mourning as it marks the death of Husayn ibn Ali (a grandson of Muhammad), who was beheaded during the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE.
Among Sunni Muslims, Ashura is observed through celebratory fasting as it marks the day of salvation for Moses and the Israelites, who successfully escaped from Biblical Egypt (where they were enslaved and persecuted) after Moses called upon God's power to part the Red Sea.
Jews fast for Yom Kippur, on the tenth day of Tishri
The root of the word Ashura means tenth in Semitic languages; hence the name, literally translated, means "the tenth day". It is derived from the Hebrew ʿāsōr, with the Aramaic determinative ending.
