A description of the Time of Mourning for the Jewish world. This video offers information about the fast of the 17th of Tammuz, the Three Weeks, and the fast of the 9th of Av.
According to Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson - The name of this month, Tammuz, is found in Scripture as the name of an idol., But since it was used by Jews as the name of a month before it was used for idolatrous purposes, it was kept on being used.
Please tell me this if you know... why is the month of Tammuz named the same name as the PAGAN god Tammuz, whom the Hebrews were rebuked by the father for weeping for? Or is there another name for it in the same way that Abib has more than one name?
