The Fast of the Tenth of Tevet
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Do we need to fast on the Tenth of Tevet now that we have returned to the Land of Israel, etc.? Do you personally fast?
Thank you.
Answer
Yes. As far as I know, the redemption has not yet arrived.
Actually, the Talmud doesn’t speak specifically about redemption (which is a very amorphous concept), but about decrees and about peace.
