Gemara:

Shevuot

Halacha:

Beit Hamikdash, Three Weeks

Holidays:

Nine Days, Rosh Chodesh, Tisha Bav

References: Shevuot: 9A , Taanit: 29A

Description

The "Nine Days" begin on Rosh Chodesh Av, a day that is semi-festive in that it includes Hallel, a Torah reading and Musaf, with a prohibition of fasting and eulogizing. If so, why do we UPGRADE our mourning practices on this day, and not wait till the 2nd of Av?
