Description

Assara B'Tevet commemorates the surrounding of the ancient walls of Jerusalem some 2,500 years ago, which ultimately led to the destruction of Bayit Rishon. What does this fast day mean to us in our day and time? This shiur explores the scope of the tragedy and reflects upon its significance in modern days and times.
