[Avodah] we live in good times

[Stuart Feldhamer]

I believe it's an explicit pasuk in Nach that the walls of Y"M were not
destroyed on 17 Tamuz for the first destruction. Do you have any sources for
the shiur?

"There are sources saying that the walls of Jerusalem were
destroyed on separate days, but we fast only one day because the tzibbur
can't handle fasting too many days. Granted these two days (9th and 17th of
Tammuz) are close together, but if we were to fast for every tragedy, then
the effect would be similar."

 

I just heard a shiur this past Shabbat in which it was explained that it is
a machloket Bavli and Yerusalmi as to whether the walls of Jerusalem were
destroyed on the same day of the month for both Temples (17th of Tammuz) or
on different days (9th and 17th).
