New Minor Fast Day



This ad appeared, informing all that on the 8th day of Ellul (which corresponds to Friday, August 28th), a private personal fast will be conducted at the Western Wall to mark the leaving of Israeli troops from Gush Qatif and the subsequent burning and destruction of the synagogues of the Jewish communities.

The fast is in accordance with the Shulchan Aruch, O"H, 562:3 and will last until after Mincha Gedola.

Among the Rabbis signed on the notice are Shmuel Eliyahu, Shalom Gold, Avi Gisser, Dudu Dudkevitz, Eliezer Waldman, She'ar Yashuv Cohen and some 20 others.
