🡄 (Previous category) :: 📁 Tsom Gedalyah  Asarah b’TevetThis is an archive of prayers composed for (or relevant to) עֲשָׂרָה בְּטֵבֵת (Asarah b’Tevet, the 10th of the month of Tevet), a fast day in rabbinic Judaism observed from before dawn to nightfall. The fasting commemorates the commencement of the siege of Jerusalem by the Neo-Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar Ⅱ, which ultimately culminated in the destruction of Solomon’s Temple (the First Temple), the downfall of the Kingdom of Yehudah, and the exile of the Jewish people within the Neo-Babylonian empire. Several other events are noted in close proximity to the day including the translation of the Tanakh into Greek and the reconfiguration of the climax of the ancient Saturnalia festival by Christians in celebration of the incarnation of their deity.

Support this work:
The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
