  Insights - The Three Weeks and Tisha B'Av   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A full three weeks of our year-the three weeks "between the strictures" of Tammuz 17 and Av 9-are designated as a time of mourning over the destruction of the Holy Temple and the resultant galut-physical exile and spiritual displacement-in which we still find ourselves.
On Tammuz 17 of the year 3829 from creation (69 CE), the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the armies of Rome; three weeks later, on the 9th of Av, the Holy Temple was set aflame.
The "Three of Rebuke" are thus followed by "Seven of Consolation"-seven weekly readings describing the future redemption and the rebuilding of the marriage of G-d and Israel.

  The Three Weeks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Three Weeks or Bein ha-Metzarim (Hebrew: בין המצרים, "Between the Straits") is a period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples.
The Three Weeks start on the seventeenth day of the Jewish month of Tammuz — the fast of the Seventeenth of Tammuz — and end on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av — the fast of Tisha B'Av, which occurs exactly three weeks later.
No Jewish marriages are allowed during the Three Weeks, since the joy of such an event would conflict with the expected mood of mourning during this time.

 Three Weeks of PainCOMMA Seven of ComfortCOMMA & Two of Return: Week Two
As we enter the second week of the traditional Three Week mourning period, when we grieve the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (the first Temple 2424 years ago, the second one 1934 years ago) — life around us seems to be tragically reflecting this sad time period.
The Kabbalah teaches that the Three Weeks manifest the concealment of the three intellectual faculties (Chochma, Binah, Daat).
In each of the seven weeks we are increasingly comforted as we progressively connect to the ‘glowing’ seven emotions of the teacher (as will be discussed in detail in future essays).

 The Three Weeks: Week One
Three weeks later the Holy temple was set ablaze and destroyed, again both the first temple by the Babylonians, and the second temple by the Romans 490 years later on the exact same day, the day of Tisha B’Av — the saddest day in the Jewish calendar.
The Three Weeks are followed by the Seven Weeks of Consolation, when we are comforted in seven stages, for our losses and ruin.
In the Three Weeks we recognize that physical turbulence is a consequence of a spiritual vacuum.

 MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: The Three Weeks
The three weeks prior to and ending with Tisha B'Av are known as Bayn HaMaytzarim,  which means "in the Straits." The haftarah portions[prophetic readings] for these three weeks are Jeremiah 1:2-28, 2:4-28, 3:4, and Isaiah 1:1-27.
They call for the people to perform acts of repentance and to be firm in their faith.
While these are three weeks of mourning, the nine days prior to Tisha B'Av are more intense in observance of the rules of mourning than the first 12 days.

 The Three Weeks - Tisha B'Av & the Three Weeks
The "Three Weeks" between the 17th of Tammuz and the Tisha B'Av have historically been days of misfortune and calamity for the Jewish people.
These days are referred to as the period "within the straits" (bein hametzarim), in accordance with the verse: "all her oppressors have overtaken her within the straits" (Lamentations 1:3).
On Shabbat during the Three Weeks, the Haftorahs are taken from chapters in Isaiah and Jeremiah dealing with the Temple's destruction and the exile of the Jewish people.

 My Three Weeks in Normandy by Clyde Phelps
As the U.S. got more deeply involved in ground fighting (this was the autumn of 1943) in its two-front war, the selective service system was called on increasingly to supply infantry replacements for the growing casualties in that branch of the service.
After 17 weeks of intensive training – much of it like that experienced to this day in Marine Corps "boot camp" – and a short furlough, my orders directed me to the U.S. East Coast (Fort Meade, Md.), and then to a port of embarkation (Staten Island, New York Harbor).
Much of the ride was along the southwestern English coast, and it was interesting to observe all the coastal defenses the British had erected when threatened with invasion in 1940-41.

 Three Weeks
The title, Three Weeks, did not constitute some snickering school-chum in-joke, nor was it plucked, between clever forefinger and aping thumb, from some Borges or Beckett quotation.
No, the title Three Weeks was an simple admission: This will be quite possibly the only paper which intentionally adheres to a tri-weekly publication schedule.
It seems significant to us that in our lives and in our language we have demarcated ‘days,’ and ‘weeks,’ and ‘months,’ and some of the dodgier individuals present will even pay homage to the ‘fortnight,’ but that the intermediate period of twenty-one days is left without a single worshiper.

Three weeks of road trips for the Trinity Bible College Lions against three of the UMAC’s top teams seemed at the outset to be an upward battle.
Trinity Head Coach Jim Dotson was the first to admit after three tough weeks, “We’re on a lumpy road, I believe that we’re going in the right direction, the problem is we’re taking our lumps along the way.
Sometimes it’s easy to get bogged down and want to get discouraged, then you realize the potential if you just keep at it.” The 63-0 defeat at the hands of Rockford College will certainly not be enough to keep these players from focusing on the long term.
