[Avodah] Tisha B'Av on Sunday

[Stuart Feldhamer]

The common thread between all the replies is that one hour of not eating is
not really fasting.

 

I had thought of that answer but I find it to be incomplete. You can't have
it both ways. Either it's fasting, or it isn't. If it isn't fasting, then
there is no need to make a restriction on eating and drinking during that
time.

>>The halacha is that the fast starts at shkiah. Why is it that we're
allowed
to fast on Shabbos for 9 Av, especially when Shabbos is docheh 9 Av? Since
Bein Hashmashot is a safeik, why don't we see safeik d'oraita l'chumrah in
the case of oneg Shabbos, and safeik d'rabbanan l'hakeil in the case of
Tisha B'av?<<

Once you have eaten anything that day, you are no longer fasting.  My
husband always drinks some water Shabbos morning before going to shul,  in
case he doesn't get around to kiddush before chatzos, so that he won't be
guilty of "fasting" on Shabbos.

 

Every time you go one hour without food -- especially when your stomach is
already full -- do you call that fasting?!  But even if you were actually
hungry, it would not be called "fasting" if you had eaten earlier that day.
