Tried scheduling this for 3PM and for some reason it went up. If you want to delay it and can figure out how, go right ahead.
leading to the destruction of the First Temple...Tzom Gedaliah
The other occurred later.
Thanks. I realize I wasn't clear. Fixed it.
Guess people are too weak from the fast to comment here.

Interesting. But not convincing. It also completely ignores Melachim Bet (2 Kings) reporting the destruction on the 7th of Av.
JS,
Very interesting post and deserving of a more robust comment thread. Perhaps a little too intellectual for people who are fasting.
JS,
In the thread to my post on shochatot the other day, you asked about the Hebrew National kashrut and politics of hechsherim. Check this out:

DYS, JS:
I read the Kashrus article, seriously great food for thought.
(Please note the Baltimore Jewish Times has an agenda.)
Rabbi Fink,
I'm not familiar with the BJT - what's their agenda?
JS,
This deserves a comment thread of its own. You should put the link in a post with a short introduction.
Is everyone eating already? I have to wait till 9:17
I just had some crackers with cheese. And a drink of iced tea.
Great post. The Tiferes Yisroel has some interesting commentary on that mishnah where he discusses some of the discrepancies. I don't want to quote because I don't have it in front of me and will not do it justice.
TH,
When you do have it front of you, please let us know what he says.
