Tisha B'Av
The fast of Tisha B'Av begins this Monday evening at sundown (7:55 pm in Huntington*)
and ends at nightfall on Tuesday night (8:39 pm)

The fast of Tisha B’av commemorates five tragic events in Jewish history:
1) The Jews should have entered the Promised Land soon after leaving Egypt. However, a negative report from the Ten Spies succeeded in demoralizing the people, and they lost courage and refused to enter the Land. The night that they cried and expressed their lack of faith was the night of Tishah B'av. As a result, that generation lost the chance to enter the land; it was the next generation who would do so, after forty years' wandering in the desert.
2) The Temple in Jerusalem, planned by King David and built by his son King Solomon, was destroyed by the Babylonian King Nevuchadnetzar, after standing for 410 years. The Jews endured a seventy-year exile in Babylonia.
3) The Second Temple, built by Ezra and returnees from the Babylonian Exile, was destroyed by the Roman Emperor Vespasian and his son Titus, after standing for 420 years.
4) The city of Beitar, headquarters of the great leader Bar Kochba, fell to the Romans, who massacred the inhabitants. At one time, as great a scholar as Rabbi Akiva believed Bar Kochba could be the Messiah who would free the Jews from Roman oppression. The ultimate fall of the city of Beitar was considered a tragedy on the scale of the Destruction of the Temple.
5) A Roman ruler named Turnus-Rufus plowed the ground where the Temple has once stood, fulfilling the Biblical prophecy, "Zion shall be plowed over like a field."
Two other well-known events took place on this day later in Jewish history:
1) In 1492, the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain, by decree of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. After a century of persecution, all Jews left Spain forever, leaving behind only those who chose to live as Christians, practicing Judaism in secret and in constant terror of the Inquisition.
2) In 1914, the outbreak of World War I - an event which destabilized centuries of Jewish life in Europe, and ultimately set the stage for World War II and the Holocaust.

a wonderful Shavuos holiday!
a wonderful Shavuos holiday!
The holiday of Shavuos - which begins at sundown Tuesday, June 11th, and continues until nightfall Thursday, June 13th - marks the anniversary of the Revelation on Mt. Sinai and the giving of the Torah.
On this day - the 6th of the month of Sivan - just over 3300 years ago, the Jewish nation surrounded Mt. Sinai. The mountain was trembling and ablaze. Thunder, lightning and the powerful sound of the shofar filled the air. The entire nation of 2.5 million people perceived the Divine Presence and heard the voice of G-d Himself utter the first two of the Ten Commandments.
On this day, when G-d's gift of the Holy Torah was joyfully accepted, an eternal covenant was sealed between G-d and the Jewish nation. Indeed, the Revelation on Mt. Sinai is compared to a wedding ceremony and the holiday of Shavuos marks the anniversary of this eternal loving union between us and Hashem.
