The Tenth of Tevet and the World on the Brink of 2026 (Chavurah)

(12-30-25)
We will discuss the minor fast day of the **10th of Tevet. This significant day commemorates the beginning of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II in 588 BCE, marking the start of a chain of events that led to the destruction of the First Temple and the Babylonian exile. We will delve into its rich history and profound spiritual significance, including its role as a day of mourning and reflection. In addition, we will explore pressing current events on the global socio-political front, particularly the escalating tensions between **China and Taiwan*, where recent large-scale military drills like “Justice Mission 2025” simulate blockades and warn against external interference amid heightened U.S. arms support to Taiwan. These developments carry important implications for Israel now and in the near future, potentially affecting regional alliances, security dynamics, and geopolitical stability in the Middle East.
