On this remarable date in the Hebrew calendar, 9th of Av, several events took place in history that shook the Jewish people: the Destruction of the First (587 BCE) and Second Temple (70 CE), as well as the expulsion of all Jews from Spain in 1492 - around the time Colombus set out to discover what later became a key safe-haven for global Jewry. It shall be remembered this week.
Shalom,
Gordon
