Due to the Terrible Tragedy of the Burning of our Holy S'farim, a Public Fast [Ta'anit Tzibbur] has been declared universally for all Jews, this coming 17th of Tammuz.
It seems that this tragedy is perhaps the most serious assault to our Holy Books since the Evil Burning of our Holy Talmud around the end of the 13th Century CE.
We will be fasting and reciting S'lichot, and mourning our great loss and pray that our acts of T'shuvah will find favour with HKBH.
Shloymie: Which S'farim were destroyed during this latest tragedy?
RRW: I've been told that it's the 5th Cheilek of the Shulchan Aruch that has been [almost?] completely wiped out. It is hardly even a memory anymore!
Best Regards,
RRW
