Just a historical clarification: the decree forbidding Jews from living in Jerusalem, it's plowing up and sowing with salt, and its name change did not occur after the destruction of the Temple but some sixty-something years later after the Bar Kokhba' revolt, which was also put down on this day.
May this day's fasting be turned to joy in our day!
