Pidyon Ta'anis-Redeeming A Fast With Money (shovevim)
Question
Hello,
Thank you for the wonderful work that you do. Since it is Shovavim, I am wondering about pidyon taanis. Can you tell me how to calculate the proper amount to redeem a fast and what that amount is in US dollars?
Thank you!

Answer
Thank you for your question.
The amount for Pidyon Ta’anis (Shoveveim) is 20 shekels, so you can donate the equivalent in dollars according to that day’s exchange rate.
Wishing you well.
