Yom Kippur Katan

The day before Rosh Chodesh is a special time of true.

You know what that day is called? Anybody knows what that day is called? It's called Yom Kippur Katan.

The day before Rosh Chodesh, every month, is called the small Yom Kippur.

The small Yom Kippur, the Yom Kippur of every month.

The day before Rosh Chodesh is a special time of true.

You know what that day is called? Anybody knows what that day is called? It's called Yom Kippur Katan.

The day before Rosh Chodesh, every month, is called the small Yom Kippur.

The small Yom Kippur, the Yom Kippur of every month.

The question comes, should we have a fast day? How, how did you have a fast day? But, uh, many, uh, Rabbonim and Mashgiach would say, "But it's, all it does for us, it makes it harder to learn and harder to daven, and nobody, nobody feels very moved or inspired by it." So that, as you see in that point, let's say Taanis Esther, it's not, uh, heavily practiced nowadays.

The taanis of Yom Kippur Katan only by a small group.

Taanis of a Yahrtzeit.

So the Acharonim already discussed that, that, uh, it's hard for us to connect the, the avodah of the taanis.

Okay, now we can...

But that does not seem to be in the, uh, Hilchas Tanios of the Rambam.

Or it doesn't seem midvar laita, Yom Kippur Katan.

And then another-- the Gemara says that igra d'tanisa is tzedakah because we save money in meals, we give tzedakah.
