Get StartedJULY 12, 2022 - The 17th of Tammuz: How Is the 17th of Tammuz Relevant Today? (Part 73 of 86)
Into The Verse
Shiva Asar B'Tammuz is a fast day that marks the beginning of the Three Weeks, a period of intense mourning that culminates with Tisha B'Av, the day the Temple was destroyed. Twice in our national history foreign armies broke through the walls of the holy city of Jerusalem on this day. Yet, it is much more than the start of an extended mourning period for the Temple. The Mishna lists five separate calamities that took place on the 17th of Tammuz. In this episode, Rabbi Ami Silver takes a closer look at one of those catastrophes which seems to break the mold, and he identifies a common theme running through the tragedies of this day. Join Ami as he explores the eternal relevancy of these ancient events.
