How is 17 Tammuz Relevant Today?
The Deeper Meaning Behind The Fast Of 17 Tammuz
Aleph Beta
The 17th of Tammuz is the tragic start to the Three Weeks, a period of intense mourning that culminates with Tisha B’Av – the day the Temple was destroyed. And if that’s not enough, the Mishna lists even more calamities that took place on the 17th of Tammuz. Is it just a coincidence that all these terrible moments happened on the same day? Is the 17th of Tammuz just the Israelites’ bad luck day, or is there a common theme that runs throughout the events of this day?
Join us as we explore this tragic day in Jewish History – and never think of the 17 Tammuz the same way again.
