Description

Peleh Yoetz on תענית, a personal voluntarily accepted fast, is it a good thing - highly recommended - or should it be avoided? In this essay the Peleh Yoetz presents a long list of benefits to fasting. But about about a teacher of Torah? Or a student dedicated to the in-depth study of Torah? How will the fast interfere with his success as a result of the weakness caused by the fast? At the end of this shiur we will speak about the fast that begins the period of mourning for the Beit HaMikdash, the 17th of Tammuz.
