How was everyone’s fast?
slow
Mine was fine, and to start off on a good note, I went to my parents for the post-fast meal (and welcome back, cantoresq!)
How did you fast?
By not eating or drinking 🙂
The Wolf
I fasted by not eating.
very hard such a long day
Hello Kitty:
I find that if you watch project inspire videos and listen to shiurim from rav leff, Krohn and others the time passes rather quickly. Its not supposed to be easy. We tend to forget that we are mourning. We are all mourners on Tisha Bav. I dont think anyone who just lost a loved one thinks oh I just wish the shivah would be over already so I can just get on with my life!
WellInformedYid: I think you have the right idea of Tisha Bav.
I think us talking about how we fasted misses the point.
I say Och in Vei Moshiach did not come…
Lets hopeand daven he comes soon
the fast isn’t meant to be easy. Like Wellinformedyid said, we’re all mourners. But yes it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s hard to fast.
LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG day!
Fast was ok baruch hashem, but the hard part was keeping the kids entertained for the day.
But Baruch Hashem we can’t complain!!
Fasting was tough because I’m nursing so I was so thirsty.
Otherwise, meaningful.
Ok, Baruch Hashem. I passed the time by reading short holocaust stories-it really got me in the mood.
B”H I fasted excellently, though I was scared I would not because I was up msot of the night unable to sleep. I also watched the Project Inspire videos, Shearis Haplaitah, The Paper Clips, and was crying the whole time. Certainly was appropriate for the mood of the day. May our next Tisha B’av be a yom tov of simcha.
Went to two excellent shiurim which made the time go faster. One was at night, after Eicha, and the other was after early mincha. During the time I was home I went through some of the Tisha b’Av materials we have. The day went by pretty fast (no pun intended). We also had ice cream after the fast, which has been our post Yom Kippur/Tisha b’Av minhag for many years now.
I think we put too much emphasis on the Tuffel, and not the Ikar.
I went to a funeral. Other than that I generally don’t have a hard time fasting, but keeping the kids occupied that’s the hard part.
How is everyone’s fast going so far?
I broke it already:( I wasn’t feeling well, as usual. The only fasts I really fast on end up being yom kippur and tisha bav because I am a horrible faster.
