Today is the 17th of Tammuz.

It’s a day of fasting and reflection in the Jewish calendar. A day that marks the beginning of a three-week journey of national mourning.

On this day, the walls of Jerusalem were breached nearly 2,000 years ago, leading to the destruction of the Holy Temple. It was also the day Moshe (Moses) broke the tablets after the sin of the Golden Calf.

It’s not just about what happened then. It’s about what’s happening now. in our hearts, in our world.

These “Three Weeks” remind us that even what feels strong and sacred can fall apart if we don’t stay awake and connected.

But we don’t just mourn, we transform.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught us to respond to pain by doing more good. So today, even as we fast, we add light:

More kindness.

More Torah.

More giving.

Because that’s how we heal the brokenness.

May this time of mourning be transformed into a time of rejoicing, with the coming of Moshiach, speedily in our days.

Let’s not just remember what was destroyed.

Let’s become the builders of what’s coming.

May our actions bring healing to our communities, and may we merit to see a world filled with peace, compassion, and unity.

FOR: Orthodox

Regarding the prohibition of music during sefiras haomer and the three weeks, have any poskim written about what constitutes music? I know there’s some debate about whether it’s only live music or also recorded music that’s prohibited, or whether a capella music is permitted, but I am curious if anyone has written about this prohibition re: genres like harsh noise or artists like Merzbow, where many people might not think of it as music. Or what about bird or whale “songs”: do these constitute music even though they’re not human-made?
