4:24 AM - 8:57 PM

Shiv’a Asar b'Tammuz, the 17th of Tammuz, is a fast day commemorating the day on which Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylonia, broke through the siege of Jerusalem in 586 BCE, leading to the destruction of the Temple three weeks later on Tish’a b'Av, the Ninth of Av.

Fast begins: 4:24 AM and ends at 8:57 PM 

The time period between Shiv’a Asar b' Tammuz and Tish’a b’Av is known as The Three Weeks. It is marked by a reduction in joyfulness, including abstaining from weddings, haircuts, and live music
