Days on Which All Jews Fast (Hilchos Taaniyos 5.1-5)

Rambam Bekius

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

Length: 11 minutes 20 seconds
Synopsis: We'll be taking another detour into the Laws of Fasts in order to prepare for Tishah b'Av, "Rambam Bekius style." Today we read the introductory halachos in which the Rambam tells us about each of the national fast days, why we fast on them, and what we're commemorating. Tomorrow we'll read the halachos about the period of time leading up to Tishah b'Av.
