Question
I am diabetic and therefore I do not fast. What is the ruling regarding prayers on fast days? Can I be called to the Torah, say Aneinu, Avinu Malkeinu, etc.? Thank you.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
For someone who does not fast:
Being called to the Torah - the custom is to avoid it.
Aneinu - is not recited when not fasting.
Avinu Malkeinu - is recited as usual
