Tweet of the Day

צום יז' בתמוז נקבע לדורות מפני שהדברים הקשים אשר אירעו בו לעמנו ציינו את תחילתו של חורבן המקדש.

בעיניי, התיקון הגדול בדורונו הוא להפוך את היום הזה דווקא לתחילתו של בניין - מתוך אהבת חינם.

צום קל ומועיל לכולם.

— Matan Kahana מתן כהנא (@MatanKahana) July 17, 2022

Translation:
Matan Kahane, outgoing/acting Minister of Religious Affairs tweeted:

The fast of 17 Tammuz was enacted for generations because of the difficult events that happened to our nation that marked the beginning of the destruction of the Temple.

In my eyes, the main tikkun of our generation is to turn this day specifically into the beginning of rebuilding - from a place of ahavat chinam (rg: baseless love or love without judgement)

An easy and beneficial fast to everyone

I am not sure if he means something political by this or if he is just saying generally we have to increase ahavat chinam - he did respond to some comments saying he is working to ensure that after the upcoming elections a broad unity government will be established..
