  1. minor fast day

    A minor fast day in Judaism refers to specific observances that exist on the Jewish calendar that require adherents to abstain from food and drink for a specific period of time, typically from sunrise to sunset. These days usually commemorate a sorrowful or tragic event in Jewish history. The minor fast days are considered 'minor' compared to the major fasts such as Yom Kippur or Tisha B'Av, which extend for more extended periods and have more stringent restrictions. The minor fast days include the Fast of Gedaliah, the Tenth of Tevet, the Seventeenth of Tammuz, and the Fast of Esther.
