Description

Zecharyah is consulted by a delegation of Babylonian Jews: Should we continue to fast on Tisha b'Av, now that you are building the second Beit haMikdash? Was this question sincere, or rude? How did Zecharyah respond? Geared toward a group including people who lack strong background in Torah text study.
