Is that how the holiest day of the year is meant to be? For more "Crossfire" questions, go to: torahcafe.com/crossfire.

The Uniqueness of the 10th of Tevet (7:31)
One of the general rules of Jewish fasting: if a fast day falls on Friday, we postpone it until the following Sunday. With the fast of the 10th of Teves, however, this rule is broken. What's so important about the 10th of Teves that makes it an exception to the rule? Find out in this mini-lesson with Rabbi Zalman Abraham.
