This Sunday, July 17th is the fast of Shiva Asar B’Tamuz. Remember to get haircuts (and shave) today if possible.
This year the 17th of Tamuz falls on Shabbos, as such, the fast is a taanis nidcheh, and it is postponed until Sunday. Someone who feels unwell should consult a Rav as the obligation to fast on a taanis nidcheh may be somewhat more lenient.
Wishing everyone an easy and meaningful fast!
