17th of Tammuz
The Fast of the 17th of Tammuz commemorates the breach of the walls of Yerushalayim, a moment that led to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash. As this year’s fast coincides with America’s 250th anniversary, Lech Knos invites women to reflect not only on walls that were broken, but on the women who helped build and strengthen the walls of Torah life in America. Through a powerful video highlighting these pioneers, we gather to honor the past while continuing to fortify our communities with Torah, connection, and purpose.
