# Even if Asara b'tevet falls out on a Friday one should fast until tzet hakovachim even though the fast would carry into [[shabbat]]. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 249:4. Chatam Sofer in his sefer torat moshe on the torah pg. 346 quotes the avudarham that even if asara bitevet fell out on [[shabbat]], which can no longer happen because of the way the calendar is set, we would have to fast. He explains that it is similar to the concept of fasting for a bad dream (taanit chalom), that every year on asara bitevet we are judged if we will merit to see the beit hamikdash rebuilt. </ref>

It is permitted to recite [[Kabbalat Shabbat]] and [[Arvit]] earlier than usual so that people can begin [[kiddush]] at home at tzet hakochavim. <ref> Nitei Gavriel [[Chanuka]] 63:6: notes 9-10. In 63:7 he adds that some poskim are even more lenient with the time of tzet hakochavim than they usually are. Rama 249:4 quotes an opinion that if you pray early and finish [[Mariv/Arvit|Arvit]] before [[Tzet HaKochavim]] you should eat, but then says that nevertheless on a public fast one should fast until [[Tzet HaKochavim]] and on a private fast, eat after [[davening]]. </ref>
