Tzom Gedeliah – It’s time to fast 


This is a Jewish commemoration event that takes place today from sunrise to sunset, the Fast of Gedalia. This is done in remembrance of Gedeliah, governor of Judah, eliminated by the Persians and with him ended Jewish autonomy, destruction of the Temple, and beginning of the Babylonian captivity. It is a sad remembrance, and hence this day was dedicated to fasting and mourning the assassination, as he governed on behalf of Babylonian emperor Nebuchadrezzar, and Ishmail, a member of the former royal family, got him killed, causing the anger of Babylon and destruction that followed.
