[RBS] are you fasting today?

[Phil'n'Chanie Rosenfelder]

Did you know that after the first Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, the fast
days were 9th of Tammuz and 9th of Av?
But after a small number of Jews returned to Eretz Yisrael, and began
rebuilding Yerushalaim and the Mikdash, the fast days were cancelled.
Isn't that amazing?
A fast day - two actually - were cancelled just because Hashem let the Jews
come back, even though most didn't even bother....
