 The Fast of Shiva Asar b'Tammuz will take place on Tuesday, June 25th. The Fast begins at 3:13 A.M. and is over at 8:56 P.M. This day commemorates the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem, which culminated in the city's fall on Tisha B'Av. It is fitting and proper that all healthy adults fast on this day. Be sure to drink ample water before the Fast begins. Should you have any questions, feel free to call Rabbi Weinberg at (617) 467-4647. |
