Do you have the link to the Telegram message? I don't know much about Telegram but I'd like to take a screenshot without the translation. If not I can try to find it myself

A lot of those guys were reading Lamentations on Monday night and fasting on Tuesday to remember the destruction of Jerusalem. I have no words

@alter_kaker I’ll try and find the link. Sadly there are so many such comments like the ones in response to this post x.com/jackyhugi/status/1823468

By the way, I don't know if this interested you at all but last Saturday, we were reading Isaiah 1:1-27 as preparation for Tuesday's fast. The whole section is worth reading, but of particular relevance is verse 21: "Alas, she has become a whore,
The faithful city
That was filled with justice,
Where righteousness dwelt—
But now murderers."

And of course Lamentations itself, written about 150 years later by the Prophet Jeremiah, will sound familiar, like a recurring nightmare.
