Halocho #1749 - When do we fast this year?

This year the 17th of Tammuz is on a Shabbat, and we never fast on Shabbat, except for the Torah-ordained fast of Yom Kippur.

In years when 17th Tammuz is on Shabbat, we fast on Sunday instead.

The same applies 3 weeks later; we will fast on Sunday, 10th Av - details to follow.

So this year we will fast on Sunday 24th July/18th Tammuz and Sunday 14th August/10th Av - unless the Bet HaMikdash is rebuilt before.

אִם חָלוּ תַעֲנִיוֹת אֵלּוּ בַּשַׁבָּת, דּוֹחִין אוֹתָן לְאַחַר הַשַׁבָּת. אֲבָל אִם חָל עֲשָׂרָה בְּטֵבֵת בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, מִתְעַנִּין וּמַשְׁלִימִין
