The reason why the fast of the 17th of Tammuz was set on this specific date, despite the fact that the Book of Jeremiah mentions the breaching of Jerusalem's walls on the 9th of Tammuz, is due to a later historical event. The sages of the Talmud set the fast date on the 17th of Tammuz because it marks the breaching of Jerusalem's walls by the Roman army during the destruction of the Second Temple.

The choice of this date is based on the fact that the second destruction was closer to the time of the sages and was perceived as a more significant catastrophe. The mourning over the Second Temple's destruction was still vivid and present in their period, making it natural for them to choose this date for the fast.

The destruction of the First Temple, caused by Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon, in 586 BCE, also marked the fall of the independent Kingdom of Judah. The Book of Jeremiah describes the first destruction and mentions many individuals who were active in the Kingdom of Judah during its final days, such as ministers, priests, and officials.

Additionally, many of these names appear on seals and seal impressions from the early sixth century BCE, discovered in Jerusalem and other sites in Judah, indicating the historical accuracy of Jeremiah's account. Some of the individuals mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah continued to be active even after the destruction, as described in the episode of the assassination of Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the Babylonians appointed as governor of Judah.

Ultimately, the choice of the date for the fast reflects the historical and emotional complexity of that period, and the emphasis on the second destruction highlights its significant importance to the sages and the generation that experienced it.

Honoring Jewish Heroes of World War II

Have you visited The Chaim Herzog Museum of the Jewish Soldier in World War II? probably not, since it just opened a few months ago.

The museum pays tribute to the incredible bravery and resilience of Jewish heroes who stood against the horrors of World War II. Amidst unimaginable adversity, these remarkable individuals exemplified courage, strength, and unwavering hope.

🕊️ The Bielski Partisans: Led by brothers Tuvia, Asael, and Zus Bielski, this group saved over 1,200 Jews by creating a hidden community in the forests of Belarus. Their defiance and ingenuity provided a lifeline to many who faced persecution.

🕊️ Hannah Senesh: A young poet and parachutist, Hannah volunteered for a mission to assist Jewish communities in Nazi-occupied Europe. Though she was captured and executed, her legacy of valor and her powerful writings continue to inspire generations.

🕊️ Mordechai Anielewicz: As the commander of the Jewish Fighting Organization, Mordechai led the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. Despite overwhelming odds, his leadership and the bravery of the fighters became a symbol of resistance and defiance.

🕊️ Sgt. Meyer Levin: An American bomber pilot, Sgt. Levin flew numerous missions over Europe, displaying extraordinary skill and bravery. He is best remembered for his role in the daring Doolittle Raid, where he and his crew struck back against the Axis powers, demonstrating the strength and resolve of the American military.

🕊️ Lt. Col. Sidney Mashbir: Serving in the Pacific Theater, Lt. Col. Mashbir played a crucial role in the Allied intelligence efforts against Japan. As part of the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section, his linguistic skills and strategic insights were vital in decoding Japanese communications, contributing significantly to the success of Allied operations.

Just to name a few...

These heroes, and countless others, remind us of the enduring spirit and the fight for justice and dignity.
Make sure, that we book you a tour on your next visit to Israel.
