The Spring Festivals concluded with Shavuot. Long period of time between Shavuot and 17 of Tammuz, a Jewish Fast Day. 

Jewish Fast & Prayer Day

Commemorates the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Temple. Marks the three-week mourning period leading up to Tisha B’Av.

The Three Weeks of Sorrow, The Three Admonitions & The Seven Weeks of Consolation

The Three Weeks of Sorrow

Is a period of 3 weeks of mourning which is completed on Tisha B’Av. Traditionally is associated with the “Fast of the Fourth Month,”

 mentioned by the prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 8:19)

The Three Admonitions

First Admonition: Pinchas/Mattot

Jeremiah 1:1-2:3

Second Admonition: Mattot/Massei

Jeremiah 2:4-28; 3:4 / 4:1-2

Third Admonition: Devarim (Hazon)

Isaiah 1:1-27

Shabbat Hazon

Is the Sabbath immediately preceding the ninth of Av and means the Sabbath of Vision (Hazon) which is the way that the Haftarah and prophetic reading of Isaiah 1:1-27 starts.

The Sabbath of Vision and Shabbat Nahamu, which provides words of consolation a week later, embrace Tisha B'Av from opposite sides, cushioning the blow of the day of destruction, allowing the mourners to go into it knowing there is salvation and emerge from it reassured that redemption will come.

He read Nitzavim in the Sinagogue of Nazareth when He started His Ministry.

Nachamu, nachamu Ami…!!!
“Comfort, yes, comfort My people! says your God. Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her... For she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God (Isaiah 40:1-3).”
