Tevet and the Seasons of the Year
Equinoctial periods, because of their balanced nature, are fit to bear sanctity. Therefore, these periods contain most of Israel's Festivals. However, there are other times of year less sympathetic to Israel - periods marked by poles in cold or heat.
Rabbi Uzi Kalchaim zt"l
The Laws of Fast Days
One should not use fast days for leisure or for field trips. One should even refrain from performing permissible acts such as showering or cutting one's hair. If a person spends the fast indifferently, he has not properly fulfilled his obligation.
Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zt"l | 5765
Three Days of Torment
Rabbi Gideon Weitzman | 5765
The Tenth of Tevet - A Compendium of Laws
After the destruction of the First Temple, the Prophets and the Sages of Israel legislated fasting on the Tenth of Tevet, for it was on that day that Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, and his legions placed Jerusalem under siege.
Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | 5764
