In my family, we at least had the merit to know the actual days that our relatives were killed...<br /><br />Yakov - the truth is, I'm not as proficient in the ins-and-outs of our calendar workings as I should be. The little that I do know never ceases to amaze me at the genius of the Sages, though.Shmuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623549507370220071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924559593469631970.post-7906348237852536812010-12-17T08:04:01.255-05:002010-12-17T08:04:01.255-05:00According to our calendar no other fast could fall...According to our calendar no other fast could fall out on erev shabbos, and if it would, I'm not so sure we wouldn't fast. When Taanis Esther falls out on Shabbos, since we can't push it off to the next day which is Purim, we push it back. And once we're anyway not fasting on the correct day, we push it back to Thursday, so as to not come in to Shabbos while fasting.<br /><br />What is said to be special about Asarah b'Teves is that some say that even if it fell out on Shabbos (which it doesn't in our calendar) we would fast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200836611493817141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924559593469631970.post-90621164337137104472010-12-17T06:37:43.876-05:002010-12-17T06:37:43.876-05:00You omit that it was also a date chosen to commemo...You omit that it was also a date chosen to commemorate those killed in the Shoah, rather than getting into halachic questions of adding another taanis to the calendar. Even among those who mourn on Yom haShoah, most say Qaddish today.<br /><br />Until this year, R' Amital would give a huge sichah on 10 beTeiveis, drawing from his experiences as a survivor to make a hashkafah point.
