This year, the Fast of Esther (Ta’anis Esther) will take place on Monday, March 2nd. As is known, the fast day called the “Fast of Esther” was instituted in honor of the three-day fast declared by Queen Esther in the days of King Achashverosh (Artaxerxes), when the events described in Megillas Esther were unfolding. Fast … Tomorrow is the Fast of Esther!
