The Second of the Three Fast Days of Tevet

9 Tevet 5775


From The Book of Our Heritage by Rabbi Eliyahu Kitov...
...The fast of the ninth of Tevet commemorates the deaths of Ezra the Scribe and Nechemyah, who faithfully led Israel during the return from Babylonian captivity. When they died, the people of Israel were devastated, for their loss was irreplaceable.
