The Tammuz XII fasting will take place on Thursday, July 9, 2020, from dawn to dusk, avoiding eating and drinking.

On seventeen in Tammuz, Titus, the Roman commander, fired the walls of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period. The fighting within the city lasted three weeks, until Tisha B'Av, when the Temple was destroyed. For this reason, the days between the 16th of Tammuz and Tisha B'Av are called "the three weeks" or "the days of the Egyptians," and many practice mourning.
