This morning we investigate the five reasons today, 17 Tammuz, is a Fast Day. We focus on the main reason, due to the halting of daily offerings in the Bet HaMikdash. We explore the insight of Rabbi JJ Schacter why this is so damaging, and how it relates to our situation in Israel today. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FLcsC6xz5TmkirT1qObkA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mining-the-riches-of-the-parsha/id1479615142?fbclid=IwAR1c6YygRR6pvAKFvEmMGCcs0Y6hpmK8tXzPinbum8drqw2zLIo7c9SR-jc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hWYhCG5GR8zygw4ZNsSmO Please contact Rabbi Whitman (rabbi@adath.ca) with any questions or feedback, or to receive a daily email, "Study with Rabbi Whitman Today," with current and past insights for that day, video, and audio, all in one short email sent directly to your inbox.

The Three Weeks Of Mourning Through The Eyes Of Jeremiah Part 7 - Why Do We Fast On The 17th Of Tammuz? - English only. Why do we begin our mourning on this day? What happened on the 17th day of the fourth month? This is a rebroadcast of a sermon originally recorded July 21, 2024. This year, 2025, the Three Weeks of Mourning begins with the fast of the fourth month on July 13, 2025. This is a partial fast, so we refrain from food and drink during the daylight hours of Sunday July 13.
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Tammuz What does the month teach us? Why would our Sages adopt this month's name Tammuz when this is the name of a Babylonian deity?! What lies behind the paradox of Tammuz? What does it teach us about facing our present challenges? What is the central theme and lesson from this week's Torah portion? Does it have a connection with this month? Why is Balaam's blessing so fundamental, to the point that we say it in our morning prayer? Who would be considered a modern-day Balaam? What does the idol worship of Baal Peor signify? Why are we told the story of Zimri's despicable public behavior? Why and how do we celebrate this day? How does the liberation of 12-13 Tammuz impact us today? Why is it a two-day holiday? What can we learn from that? What did the Frierdiker Rebbe say to those assembled at the train station as he boarded the train to Kastroma? What can this day teach us about antisemitism today? Can we compare Jewish Hamas supporters to the yevsektzia? Can we contact him? How can we invite him and the woman who lit the candles to inspire our community? What lessons can we learn from this story? How has this story inspired others? What is the power of lighting candles? How can I use this story to motivate my wife to light Shabbos candles? Where does the expression originate from? Is it appropriate to use? What is the Torah's perspective on the future of the world?

Are you held captive by a familiar spirit?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett talk about spiritual warfare during the Dire Straits, a somber period of historical significance between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av (July 13th - August 3rd, 2025). The enemy will overplay his hand during this time, often exposing his deep-rooted tactics. Don't let people, places, or circumstances distract you or cause you to self-sabotage your assignment. As familiar spirits and generational patterns are stirred up and rise to the surface, they can be exposed, identified, and cast out. During the dire straits…Write down a goal God has given youIdentify how the enemy has historically tried to stop you (Finance, health, depression, anxiety, etc.)Break agreement with the enemy and declare God's deliverance in this area of your lifeJoin Rabbi and Darrell as they share the wisdom of awareness and preparation, decreeing and declaring deliverance and victory, and how this period can posture you for spiritual breakthrough.

Tammuz and Av are, according to the Zohar, days of judgment. The Creator of the world "provides a cure before the plague" and sends us the secrets of the sweetening of the judgments. How do you turn judgment into mercy, failure into success, death into life, destruction into growth? This is the secret of human correction and this is the secret of true healing. Dealing with the main causes of illness - hate, anger, negativity & greed.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... This Nidra journey is rooted in the mystical energy of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, a time traditionally associated with the rectification of sight—not just physical seeing, but the sacred act of inner vision. In this practice, you'll be gently guided through the inner landscape of your body, breath, and memory using color, imagery, and kavanah/sankalpa (intention). Tammuz is a month of destruction and burning, but also one of re-alignment—where our ability to truly see can begin again from the inside out. This traditionally structured Yoga Nidra meditation focuses on inner sight and offers a color and memory visualization to support your exploration of your mind and heart. This practice is designed to help you relax, heal, and reconnect with your wholeness. Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you're fully supported completely at ease. Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest. Breath Awareness: Practice guided breathwork to connect with the resonant colors within you Polarities: Train your mind to respond rather than react by practicing holding space for yourself with opposite experiences Visualization: Experience a meaningful color and memory visualization Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being. Externalization: Gradually transition back to your ordinary waking state and integrate the practice Background Music: Mind Relaxation by LightMusic, Pixabay Subscribe to Na'aleh Yoga for more meditative Yoga Nidra journeys and transformative experiences.

Chelek 28, Yud-Beis Yud-Gimmel Tammuz
In this conversation with Dr. Tanya White, we discuss the theological import of the parsha's unusual point of view, the parallels between Pharaoh and Balak's fear of Israel, and why coming to conclusions based on incomplete perceptions is a destructive behavior. This week's episode has been sponsored by Carole Damon in memory of her father Simcha Yisroel ben Shmuel whose yartzeit is on the 6th of Tammuz. Our Bamidbar Series explores different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.
Today's daf is sponsored by Kobi and Miri Darkei in honor of the birth of their new grandson, son of Reshit and Shlomo Breitley, brother to Cherut Shira, who enters today the brit of Avraham Avinu. "May he merit to grow in joy and health for Torah, marriage and good deeds, for the glory of the people of Israel and as a Jewish source of pride for his parents and family." Today's daf is sponsored by Vitti Rosenzweig in memory of her mother, Sarah Rosenzweig, a Holocaust survivor, and daughter of Vitti and David Greenbaum who perished in the Holocaust. "May her memory be a blessing. We miss her." Today's daf is sponsored by Shira Dishon for Staff Sergeant Eitan Dishon HY"D. "His 23rd birthday is on the 8th of Tammuz. At the end of chapter 23 in Tehillim it is written 'And I shall dwell in the house of Hashem for the length of days' - this was his dream. Since Eitan fell, I have merited through him to join Hadran and to learn the daf each day and to feel a bit of this dwelling in the house of the Hashem." Can one sell defensive weapons to non-Jews? What is the basis of the debate on this issue? Rabbi Yehuda permitted broken animals to be sold to gentiles. Does this apply to broken calves as well? Were they kept for reproducing, in which case they would be kept for the long-term (not purchased for slaughtering) and therefore forbidden to sell as people would notice they were sold and would think it is permitted to sell animals in general to gentiles. An ox that is being fattened for slaughter, can that animal be sold, as one can assume the gentile is purchasing for slaughter? The question is asked both according to the rabbi's position and Rabbi Yehuda's, as is explained by the Gemara. Can one sell dangerous animals to non-Jews? Are large non-domesticated animals (chayot) considered the same as large domesticated animals in terms of forbidding selling them to non-Jews? What types of buildings can Jews aid in the building process for non-Jews? Those that are used for judging people are problematic, as they would judge many people to death. The story of Rabbi Eliezer ben Horkanus is brought where he is captured by the Romans on suspicion of being a heretic.
