According to the Talmud, the aim of the fast day is "to establish that the death of the righteous is likened to the burning of the House of our God."<ref name="rh18b"/> Just as fasts were ordained to commemorate the destruction of the [[Solomon's Temple|Jewish Temple]], likewise a fast was ordained to commemorate the death of Gedaliah.<ref name="rh18b">Rosh Hashana 18b</ref>
[[Karaite Jews]] observe this fast day on the 24th of the month since [[Book of Nehemiah]] states that the 24th was a fast day.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.karaites.org/karaite-customs-and-traditons.html |title = Karaite Customs and
