My dear readers,
I wish to re-post a note concerning the 9th of Av, a very somber and important day in Jewish history. Please join hearts with our Jewish brothers and sisters in remembrance this day, and please remember that it is our God given duty to always pray for the Jewish nation and for Israel and her protection, provision, and salvation. The 9th of Av this year is between July 15-16, depending on the sighting of the New Crescent Moon.
Note: The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus the fast begins with sunset of the first secular date listed, and concludes at nightfall the following day.
Genesis 12:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
