Laws and customs for the Three Weeks & The Nine Days
May these days be turned to joy and happiness with the coming of Moshiach immediately!
*The 17th of Tammuz is the date that the walls of Jerusalem were breached both by the Babylonians and the Romans. This led to the destruction of the First Temple (by the Babylonians in the year 432 BCE) and the destruction of the Second Temple (by the Romans in the year 68 CE). Both Temples were destroyed 3 weeks after the walls were breached, on the 9th of Av. This time period between these two dates is known as the Three Weeks and a number of laws govern this period.
*During the Three Weeks, one may not have a haircut, get married or listen to music or say the Shehecheyanu blessing. Doing construction which is not necessary for basic living is also postponed until after the Three Weeks.
*This year, the 3 weeks begin on Sunday, July 13 and continue until after Tisha B'av (Sunday, August 3).
Something Constructive for the Three Weeks and the Nine Days - Extra Learning
The Rebbe has emphasized that in addition to mourning the loss of the Temple during the Three Weeks, we need to do positive things during this time in a spirit of working towards the rebuilding of the Third Temple. One thing in particular he suggested is the study of the Laws of the Temple, Beit HaBechirah, from Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah. By studying about the Temple, we can hasten its rebuilding.
You can learn the Laws of the Beit Habechirah here.
Here is a quote from the Rambam’s Laws of the Beit HaBechirah (5:6-7)
6. The Temple Courtyard was not situated directly in the center of the Temple Mount. Rather, it was set off further from the southern wall of the Temple Mount than from the wall of any other direction It was closer to the western wall than to the wall of any other direction. There was a greater distance between it and the northern wall than between it and the western wall. Similarly, there was a greater distance between it and the eastern wall than between it and the northern wall.
7. The Women’s Courtyard was in front of the Temple Courtyard on the East and was 135 cubits long and 135 cubits wide. It had four chambers, each forty cubits by forty cubits, one in each of its four corners. They did not have roofs, nor will they in the Messianic Age.
