Tzom Gedaliah
5:23--AM--Fast Begins
7:16--AM--Fast Ends
In memory of Gedaliah’s tragic death and its disastrous aftermath, we fast every year on the 3rd of Tishrei, the day after Rosh Hashanah. Like other “minor” fasts, it begins at dawn (alot hashachar) and ends at nightfall.
During morning services, it is customary to add special selichot, penitential prayers (click here for a Hebrew PDF). During both morning and afternoon prayers, the Torah is taken out, and we read the portion from Exodus 32:11–14 and 34:1–10 in which G‑d forgives Israel for the sin of the golden calf. During the afternoon prayers, we also read a haftorah, from Isaiah 55:6–56:8.
As it is written in Zechariah 8:19, Tzom Gedaliah is one of the four fasts that will be converted to joy and feasting with the arrival of Moshiach. May it happen soon.
