13 Tevet

13 טֵבֵת

The Month of Tevet (טֵבֵת)

Tevet is the coldest and darkest month, yet the last days of Chanukah extend into its beginning, bringing light into the deepest winter. The 10th of Tevet (Asara B'Tevet) is a fast day commemorating the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, which ultimately led to the destruction of the First Temple. Despite the somber tone, Tevet teaches that even in the darkest times, sparks of holiness can be found.
