In this second episode of the special Three Weeks series, we take a look at Gzeiros Tasnu-The Rhineland Massacres during the First Crusade in the year 1096. We examine the origins of Ashkenazi Jewry, learn about the great cities of Speyer, Worms and Mainz, and see how the memory of these events enters into our weekly prayers and Jewish consciousness.
