[Music] so today's Y and many ask why do we fast on y on the 17th of tamuz and we're going to go to today not only on the reasons why we fast I mean what caused us to commemorate the day with a fast but we're going to look more deep into the mystical cabalistic reason why we we commemorate this day what is this day and in essence we looking at this day is a very uh negative Day morning and we fast and bad things things happen in the past but H if you look like in everything at the deep meaning of it you actually find a very positive thing and one of the things that happened on that's how it really started on mosu came down from the mountain with the tablets with the first set of tablets and as he coming down he sees a golden calf and a party and that's when it all started and that's when mosenu broke the tablets there are different of opinions one opinions say that he actually got upset and broke them which that doesn't sound so like moso one opinion says the tablets were very big and some say that the Holiness that's in the tablets left the tablets and it was too heavy for him to carry and they fell down and broke and while there was the the godliness in the tablets that it was easy for him to carry them but the second that the Holiness left the tablets and they fell down and broke so that's when it all started and Mos came down with the mountains the tablets broke seeing the the the people uh celebrating and dancing around the golden calf and since then that day
