	The Jewish Month of Tevet According to Sefer Yetzirah
		The month of Tevet begins the "period" (tekufah) of the winter (whose three months--Tevet, Shevat, Adar--correspond to the three tribes of the camp of Dan--Dan, Asher, Naftali--who were situated on the north side of the camp).
		Its tenth day--the tenth day of the tenth month ("the tenth shall be holy to G-d")--is a fast day, in commemoration of the siege of Jerusalem, the beginning of the destruction of the Temple.
		The epitome of this process (in the order of the year, as in the words of the prophet quoted above) is on the tenth of Tevet (in the secret of "the end [final fast-day of the year] is wedged in the beginning [of the events which led to the destruction]").

	Asara b'Tevet
		On the Tenth of Tevet, we commemorate as a fast day the day on which the Babylonians successfully laid seize to Jerusalem and beleaguered it until its final conquest.
		The justification for choosing this day, is that the fast day which commemorates the first national tragedy of the Jews should also commemorate the most recent.Special prayers of memorial for the six million Jewish dead are read, while the Kaddish is said by all, and other rituals of remembrance are observed in Israel.
		It may because the Tenth of Tevet is after all, even in the minds of some observant Jews a "minor" fast, often neglected and forgotten, and it is not easy to raise the significance of a fast which is not widely observed.

		The strength--both of the obligation to fast and its positive influences--of the Tenth of Tevet stems from the fact that it commemorates the first of the tragedies associated with the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash.
		The positive influences of the Tenth of Tevet are connected to the fact that a fast day is a "day of will" when our prayers and teshuvah are more willingly accepted by G-d.
		Of course, our most fervent prayer is that the Tenth of Tevet not be a day of mourning, but be turned into a day of celebration and joy with the coming of Moshiach.
