Q u i z f or Fast on Tenth of Tebet
BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright 1964 JTA, Inc.)
What is the fast of the Tenth
of Tebet (occurring this year on
Dec. 15)?
This fast commemorates the be-
ginning of the siege of Jerusalem
by the Babylonian King Nebuchad-
nezzar. This was the actual begin-
ning of the series of events that
led to the destruction of the first
temple in Jerusalem.. The Bible
describes the event in the follow-
ing words (II Kings 251): "And it
came to pass in the ninth year of
his reign in the tenth month, in
the tenth day of the month, that
Nebuchadnezzar. King of Babylon,
came, he and all his army against
Jerusalem and encamped against

them back to Israel from their
Babylonian exile, passe d away.
This was considered as a most re-
grettable incident because these
two had instituted many decrees
and had led the people back to the
original understanding of the faith
through their teachings. Their
death eventually resulted in some
forgetting on the part of the
people of Israel and thus the date
is considered as an occasion for
fasting. The tenth of Tebet, of
course, is the date we have already
explained as the beginning of the
siege of the Holy City of Jerusa-
lem. It is significant to note that
there three days, coming together,
as they do, link up the beginning
of the destruction of the Holy
Book (The Bible) and the begin-
fling of the neglect of the Holy
traditions.
(Chapter. VIII) refers to as the
"Fast of the Tenth." In modern
times this date on the Hebrew
calendar took on yet another signi- Memorial Meeting Set

of Tebet?
On each of these days regret-
table events are believed to have
occurred in Jewish history. On the
eighth day of Tebet, the Bible was
translated into Greek, in the days
of Ptolemy. This was regarded as
most regrettable since no transla-
tion can ever render the full mean-
ing of the Biblical text as does its
original Hebrew. Because of the
translation many forsook the origi-
nal Hebrew and many discrepan
cies and even heresies resulted.
Thus the original occasion of the
translation is regarded as a tragic
event. On the ninth day of Tebet
