# A fast of hours (Tanit Shaot) is only effective if a person didn't eat in the morning and then decided not to eat the rest of the day. In such a case he can recite Anenu at mincha. Some poskim hold that a fast of hours only is effective if one accepted to fast partially from the previous day. Either he can accept to fast in the morning and then if he changes his mind to complete the day or he can accept to fast in the afternoon and then if he changes his mind and ends up not eating in the morning that is a fast of hours for anenu.<ref>The Gemara Tanit 11b establishes that a fast of hours counts as a fast in order to recite anenu. However, Rav Chisda explains that it is only a fast of hours if one didn't eat until that day. Therefore, Rashi explains the case of a fast of hours is where one happen to fast until midday and then after he midday he decided to fast the rest of the day. The Rambam (Taniyot 1:13) learns that the gemara is saying that one can have a fast of hours for the end of the day even if ate in the morning. The Rashba (responsa) writes that the Rambam retracted. Shulchan Aruch 562:1 accepts Rashi as the primary opinion. However, the secondary opinion he quotes is the Rosh (Tanit 1:12) who explains that it is always necessary to accept the fast of hours a day in advance for it to count.</ref> | |||
