Difficulty Fasting – Moving Apartment

Question

Good morning, Rabbi. Tomorrow we are moving to a new apartment, and in the midst of all the work I see that I am functioning less well and my head is starting to hurt. At what point will I be allowed to break the fast?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

You should increase your rest on the fast day so that you will not reach a situation in which you need to eat and drink. 

The fast is short, and there will be plenty of time after the fast to pack and organize.
