A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This Thursday is the Fast of the Tenth of Tevet.
It commemorates the onset of the siege outside the walls of Jerusalem that led to the destruction of the Holy Temple on the Ninth of Av, 3 years and seven months later. In addition, in our times it has become the date to say Kaddish for those martyrs of the Holocaust (and all the others through the centuries) whose date of death is unknown. The third and last articles touch on these two themes. We lead with two articles on prayer, music and light in different manifestions — Enjoy! Learn! Integrate! Articles 4 — 6 are for this week's Torah Reading, Vayechi, the last in the Book of Genesis Chazak, chazak, v'hit'chazeik! Dedication
In memory of all the Jewish martyrs through the centuries whose date of death is unknown,
for whom therefore Kaddish is said on the Fast Day of 10 Tevet (this year: Thurs. Dec. 28) |
