"Beginning on day 17 of the Hebrew month of Tammuz and ending with the ninth day of the month of Av, the Jewish people, as individuals and as a collective whole, mourn and commemorate the many painful attempts at our destruction which occurred in this time," continues Crispe in an easy to read article that all caring adults should take the time to read.

Historically during the Three Weeks time period, many tragedies have come to pass within in the Jewish culture. These tragedies include the loss of Israel because of a false report of the 12 spies, the destruction of the First Temple and 500 years later the Second Temple was destroyed.
