Description

As the Mikdash was about to be rededicated in the late 6th century BCE, the Navi Zekharya was asked by a delegation from Babyolonia if they should continue mourning "during the fifth month" and to maintain practices of abstention that they had practiced since the destruction, 70 years earlier. Zekharya's answer is not only surprising, but holds significant import for our day and for how we ought to view the role of the fast days.
