Reply To: why hasn't the pre-geula teshuva movement started?

Hate to respond negatively to an overall positive message, but Av is not the 9th month, it is the 5th (we refer to the tzom harivii, tzom hachamishi and tzom haasiri, for example). Even if we were to ignore the fact that Nissan is the first month and count from Tishrei, the date would be 11/9, not 9/11 (month/date).
