Question
From when does the fast on the Tenth of Tevet begin?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The fast begins at dawn.
There are several opinions on how to calculate dawn, and one may be lenient by considering it to be 72 minutes before sunrise.
This year (5783 - 2023), it is approximately at 5:20 AM. This is not precise and depends on the sunrise time in each location.
