Prayer Text on a Fast Day
Question
Should someone who is not fasting say 'Shalom Rav' or 'Sim Shalom' during Mincha on a fast day?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
One should say 'Sim Shalom'. This is because the recitation of 'Sim Shalom' is not related to fasting, but to the fact that the Torah is read, as the text of 'Sim Shalom' mentions the Torah 'You have given us a Torah of life', whereas the text of 'Shalom Rav' does not mention the Torah.
