Tzom Gedaliah - Was Sick on Rosh Hashanah
Question
From Erev Rosh Hashanah I was in bed with a fever. By the second day of Rosh Hashanah the fever was gone and I was able to eat, but I’m still a bit weak. Regarding Tzom Gedaliah—am I obligated to fast?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
If you still feel general weakness from the illness yesterday, you are exempt from fasting.
