Halocho #1492 - Changes in davening on a fast day

On Thursday will be the fast of the 10th of Tevet - עֲשָׂרָה בטֵבֵת.

On every fast-day there is Kriat HaTorah (Torah Reading) at both Shacharit and Mincha. 

At Mincha, the 3rd Aliya also reads the Haftarah (דִּרְשׁוּ from Yeshayahu 55:6). Only somebody who is fasting should be called up to the Torah on a fast day. 

During the Mincha Amida, individuals add the "עֲנֵנוּ" prayer into the 16th Bracha; שְׁמַע קוֹלֵנוּ. If one forgot, one does not need to make amends. 

The Chazzan adds עֲנֵנוּ during both Shacharit and Mincha, as a separate Bracha before רְפָאֵנוּ.
