Agra D'Taanita
Agra D'Taanita
On fast days, it is customary to give Agra D'Taanita, which is charity given in the amount equivalent to the cost of the meals that are not eaten during the fast. By doing so, we elevate what we do not eat or drink to a level of holiness through the mitzvah of charity.
How much should be given?
For those who follow the custom of redeeming the missed meals, it is customary to give at least €9 for each meal, totaling €27 per person. Of course, one can give more generously, both for oneself and for one's entire family.
May it be G-d's will that in the merit of this important mitzvah, we merit the rebuilding of the Holy Temple and the complete and true redemption, speedily in our days.
