The Hebrew date today is the 17th of Tamuz, a fast day which marks the traditional period of mourning for the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem (for more information see the OU’s resources about the three weeks.
To commemorate this, I am including two images I created for a non-profit organization in New York. They wanted to design a tile as a fundraiser. The idea was related to the concept that when building a home a Jew should leave a part unfinished to commemorate the destruction of the Temple, Beit Hamikdash. The Tile could be placed near the unfinished area or wherever. The final design was a variation of the green design but with a burnt look to commemorate the destruction of Jerusalem.
