Rosh Chodesh Tammuz with Mrs. Michal Horowitz
The name of the month of Tammuz is Babylonian in origan as are the other names of the Jewish months. As mentioned in Yechezkel perek 8, Tammuz is related to an ancient pagan cult. Why would a Jewish month be called by this name and why specifically this month? the name Tammuz alludes to the disastrous results when the Jewish people abandon Hashem. Recognizing the tragic events of this month gives us the opportunity to rebuild the breeches in our relationship with Hashem and ultimately restore the walls of the Yerushalayim to their glory.

Our virtual Rosh Chodesh Tammuz shiur with Mrs. Michal Horowitz will take place today at 12 noon EST at www.ou.org/women/video/
