Question
Hello Rabbi. I have, thank God, four small children, and my husband works until the evening. Since I will be taking care of the children from noon, I know I will not be able to fast until the end of the fast. Should I start fasting?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Begin fasting. If you feel weak during the day, you may eat and drink.
