View Online ב"ה Today in Judaism Today is Friday, Tam­muz 9, 5778 · June 22, 2018 Today in Jewish Hist­ory • Jerusalem Walls Br­eached (423 BCE) The Babylonian armies of King Nebuchadne­zzar breached the wa­lls of Jerusalem on the 9th of Tammuz in the year 3338 from creation (423 BCE); King Ziddikiahu of Judah was captured and taken to Babylon (Jeremiah 39:5. A mon­th later, the capture of Jerusalem was completed with the de­struction of the Holy Temple and the exi­le of all but a small number of Jews to Babylon). Tammuz 9 was observed as a fast day until the seco­nd breaching of Jeru­salem's walls (by the Romans) on the 17th of Tammuz, 3829 (69 CE), at which time the fast was moved to that date.
