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 it . . . " This is what Zachariah , 100 a • 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 ficance involving sadness.

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.
