Remembering The Fast Of Tevet  Part 1:  Why Do We Mourn On This Day?  -  English only.   The 10th of Tevet is a day traditionally observed with mourning and fasting, This day commemorates the destruction of both Solomon's Temple and the Second Temple.  While it is obvious why we fast in remembrance of the day that the Temple was destroyed, why do we mourn on the day that the siege of Jerusalem began? Join us as we explore the Scriptures to examine the significance of the Fast of Tevet!  This is rebroadcast of a sermon originally recorded on January 7, 2025.  This fast is referred to as a partial fast, since we fast only during the daylight hours. This year, 2025, the fast will begin tomorrow Tuesday, December 30, at sunrise and end at sunset on the same day.
