Tanit Ester: Difference between revisions

# If the fast falls out on [[Shabbat]], meaning [[Purim]] falls out on Sunday, it’s pushed to the Thursday before [[Purim]], not to the Friday. <Ref> Shiltot (Vayihakel 67) and Tanchuma Beresheet 3 write that if Tanit Ester falls out on [[Shabbat]] it’s pushed earlier to Thursday. Rambam (Tanit 5:5), Tur and S”A 686:2 rule like the Shiltot. However, the Ravad (in Magen Avot 23 pg 152), quoted by Rashba (Eiruvin 41b), and Ritva (Eiruvin 41b)) holds that the fast occurs on Friday and one can eat after one prays right before [[Shabbat]]. Meiri (Magen Avot Inyan 23) proves that even a fast which is just a minhag is good enough reason to allow fasting onn [[Erev Shabbat]] and Erev [[yom tov]] from taanit bechorot on erev [[pesach]]. Sefer Pardes pg 252 says that some people would fast on Thursday with the Tzibbur and then fast again on Friday but says that they are mistaken. </ref> Someone who mistakenly ate on Thursday should make up the fast the next day, Friday. <Ref> Sh”t Shevut Yacov 3:50 writes that if one mistakenly didn’t fast on Thursday can make it up by fasting on Friday. Shaarei Teshuva 686:5, Mishna Brurah 686:3, Torat HaMoadim 3:2 quote this as halacha. </ref>
