The Period of the Three Weeks

News

With the onset of the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar, the three-week mourning period of Bein ha-Metzarim has commenced, commemorating the tragic events of the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple.

Paradoxically, this period of mourning is intended to inspire optimism. Joy and celebration will ultimately replace mourning and grief. The burned and destroyed city has been rebuilt and is flourishing, just as the prophets foretold, which means their other promises will also be fulfilled: we shall overcome all adversities!
