Fasting: Action through Inaction (4:08)
The action of fasting is to consciously not eat. The 10th of Teves is the occasion for Rabbi Levi Kaplan to speak about the message in fasting. Through fasting we remember the message that G-d sends to the us, to reflect on the outcomes of our actions.

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.
