Observing Together - Summer
The Three Weeks
An annual mourning period recalling the breach of Jerusalem’s walls and the ultimate destruction of the Temple.
It begins with Shiva Asar B’Tammuz, the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz. This is a “minor” fast (sunrise to sunset).
It ends with Tisha B’Av, the Fast of the 9th of Av. It is a “major” fast, beginning at sundown the night before. This date is also linked to many tragedies in our history, including the Bar Kochba revolt against the Romans and the expulsion of Jews from Spain.
