Fasting in Judaism
Fasting in Judaism is deeply rooted in tradition, with Moses' 40-day fast serving as a pivotal reference point. It encompasses both major public fasts, like Yom Kippur and Tisha Bav, and minor fasts commemorating historical tragedies, all aimed at purification and reconnection with God. Each fast carries a specific purpose, emphasizing repentance and self-reflection, ultimately facilitating the process of teshuva, or returning to God.In this clip
