Candle Lighting: 4:00PM
Fast day Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat: 3:40 PM
Torah Reading etc. please be prompt!
Asara Betevet Information:
The 10th of Tevet (known as Asarah B'Tevet) is observed as a day of fasting, mourning and repentance. We refrain from food and drink from daybreak to nightfall, and add Selichot (penitential prayers) and other special supplements to our prayers. The fast ends at nightfall, or as soon as you see three medium-sized stars in the sky. See our calendar for exact times.
Jerusalem Surrounded For years, G‑d had sent His prophets to warn Israel about the impending destruction of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple if they didn’t mend their ways. But they derided the holy men as bearers of “false prophecies of doom,” bent on demoralizing the nation. They even went so far as to kill one of the prophets.
Then it finally happened. On the 10th day of the Jewish month of Tevet, in the year 3336 from Creation (425 BCE), the armies of the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem.
Ever patient, G‑d delayed the destruction to give the Jews yet another chance to repent. He repeatedly sent the prophet Jeremiah to admonish His nation, but they foolishly had him imprisoned. Thus, 30 months later, on Tamuz 92 (or 17 the very date the walls would be breached when the Second Temple was destroyed), 3338, the city walls were breached, and on 9 Av of that year the Holy Temple was destroyed and the Jewish people were exiled.
Unique among Jewish fasts, 10 Tevet is observed even when it falls on a Friday, though it interferes somewhat with Shabbat preparations.
It is viewed as the beginning of the chain of events that culminated with the destruction of the Temple and the subsequent exiles, something that we have never fully recovered from, because even when the Second Temple was finally built, it never returned to its full glory.
Holocaust Yahrzeits: In recent times, 10 Tevet became the day to say kaddish for the victims of the Holocaust, many of whose day of martyrdom is unknown.
An ancient Jewish custom is to deliver words of inspiration that arouse the soul to repent on fast days such as this one.
How to Pray on Ten Tevet: There are a number of changes in the liturgy to be aware of.
In the morning services, during the chazzan’s repetition of the Amidah, he should add in Aneinu.
We say the "long" Avinu Malkeinu,
The most significant addition is the Selichot, a collection of biblical verses and rabbinic dirges, which are added in the morning during the post-Amidah Tachanun.
During both morning and afternoon services, we read the Torah, from Exodus 32:11–14 and 34:1–10.
In the afternoon, the reading (which is held before the Amidah) is followed by a haftarah from Isaiah 55:6–56:8.
During the afternoon Amidah, every individual who is still fasting says Aneinu.
During the chazzan’s repetition of the afternoon Amidah, he should add in Aneinu,
The chazzan also recites the Priestly Blessing
As in the morning, say the “long” Avinu Malkeinu
