Fast day tomorrow,Shabbaton reminder

Jun 28th, 2010 by nzakon | 0

Tomorrow is a fast day, the 17th day of Tamuz.

The Talmud teaches us that 5 tragedies befell the Jewish nation on this day in history.

  • Moses broke the tablets at Mount Sinai — in response to the sin of the Golden Calf.
  • The daily offerings in the First Temple were suspended during the siege of Jerusalem, after the Kohanim could no longer obtain animals.
  • Jerusalem’s walls were breached, prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
  • Prior to the Great Revolt, the Roman general Apostamos burned a Torah scroll – setting a precedent for the horrifying burning of Jewish books throughout the centuries.
  • An idolatrous image was placed in the Sanctuary of the Holy Temple – a brazen act of blasphemy and desecration

    •  The fast begins at 4:53 A.M. and ends at 9:22 P.M. If you would like to eat in the morning before the fast begins, stipulate verbally before going to sleep tonight.

    Tonight begins the 3 weeks which culminate with the fast of the 9th of Av.

    During this 3 weeks Halacha teaches us that we do not:

    1.Take haircuts or shave (except when necesary for sake of a job)

    2.Listen to music (instrumental that is but just singing is fine)

    3. Do not attend celebrations or parties such as weddings,barmitzvas…)

    There are additional details pertaining to the 9 days leading up to the 9th of Av as well.

    May we merit to see the rebuilding of the Temple and times of true joy speedily in our days!
