I meant to send this out yesterday, so I apologize. Today is the Tenth of Tevet, a minor fast which you can read about in my latest article. If you've already started your day eating, it is not too late to do something to commemorate this piece of Jewish history - whether it's skipping a meal later in the day, just thinking about what it means or doing something else to pay tribute to our heritage.
