The Night of the Fast of 17th of Tammuz
Question
Is there any significance to starting the fast of the 17th of Tammuz from the night?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to the law, the fast begins only in the morning at dawn. However, a pious person may be stringent and refrain from eating and drinking from the night.
