Baltimore, MD - Dec. 30, 2025 - Asara B'Teves (the fast of the 10th month, ืฆืื ืืขืฉืืจื) is one of the most stringent fasts of the Jewish calendrical year. It is the only fast that we observe on a Friday, and like Yom Kippur, we would observe this fast if, in theory, it were to fall on Shabbos! But why? Why is Asara B'Teves so serious? Because it marks the "beginning of the churban" – the beginning of the end. On Asara B'Teves of the year 3336 (425 BCE), Nevuchadnezar, the king of Bavel, surrounded Jerusalem, laying siege to our holy city. This was a dark moment in Jewish history, a moment that marked the beginning of the chain of events which ultimately led to the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash on the 9th of Av (in 3338).But something else al...

"If you had the wrong prime minister, Israel right now would not exist," he added. "We worked together and we were extremely victorious."
The US President also addressed the Irani...
