July 17 is a special day for Jews and I was confirmed today about my life

The Fast of Shiva Asar B’Tammuz is held in the Hebrew month of Tammuz (the fourth month). This year, it falls on Sunday . It is dedicated to honoring several Jewish tragedies and the commencement of a mourning period called the “Three Weeks”. During this time many Jews traditionally observe certain mourning practices. On day 17 of Tammuz, five tragic events occurred, which we outline here. Moses broke the tablets of the Ten Commandments on seeing the golden calf. Offerings stopped in Jerusalem during the Babylonian siege. Apostomos, a Roman leader, burned a scroll containing the Torah, and idols were added to the Temple in Jerusalem. The Romans breached Jerusalem’s walls after a fierce battle in 69 A.D. The Babylonians, as per the Jerusalem Talmud, also breached the city’s defenses on this day.
