3 Weeks Event Package

The sins that destroyed the first Beis Hamikdash were ones a society could name: idol worship, forbidden relations, bloodshed. The second is harder to understand. The generation that lost it was learned and observant, yet the Gemara points to something stranger than any sin: a failure of leadership it calls too humble.
 
At the center of the story is Rabbi Zecharya ben Avkolas. He betrays no one. He acts out of no malice. He simply hesitates, defers, and waits for others to decide, and the Gemara names that hesitation as the reason the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed.
 
This Three Weeks booklet follows that puzzle through the sources, asking when humility stops being a virtue and starts holding us back, and what it really means to own the choices we make every day.
