		Similarly, the statutory fast days, such as the 17th of Tammuz and the others commemorating various phases of the destruction of Jerusalem, are intended to “remember our forefathers’ evil deeds, which are like our own” (ibid., 5.1)—that is, they are not mere antiquarianism, but are intended to link together past and present.
