International Retainer Day
Have you ever heard of International Retainer Day which falls on July 19 every year? This day challenges you to commit to your beautiful smile by keeping your retainer on after dental treatment. International Retainer Day recognizes the value of retainers, which help users to maintain a straight and beautiful smile years after undergoing orthodontic treatments.
In the early 1900s, retainers were introduced to prevent teeth from slipping sideways. The smile remained straight as a result of this. If you don’t use your retainer following orthodontic treatment, your teeth may shift or revert to their prior incorrect positions. So, if you’ve been slacking on your retainer, now is the time to get back on track.
Fast of Shiva Asar B’Tammuz
The Fast of Shiva Asar B’Tammuz is held in the Hebrew month of Tammuz (the fourth month). This year, it falls on July 2. It is dedicated to honoring several Jewish tragedies and the commencement of a mourning period called the “Three Weeks”. During this time many Jews traditionally observe certain mourning practices. On day 17 of Tammuz, five tragic events occurred, which we outline here. Moses broke the tablets of the Ten Commandments on seeing the golden calf. Offerings stopped in Jerusalem during the Babylonian siege. Apostomos, a Roman leader, burned a scroll containing the Torah, and idols were added to the Temple in Jerusalem. The Romans breached Jerusalem’s walls after a fierce battle in 69 A.D. The Babylonians, as per the Jerusalem Talmud, also breached the city’s defenses on this day.
