Fast for Aseret yemei teshuva

undefined

Rabbi Jonathan Blass

10 Av 5767
Question
In the Mishna brura it explains that people used to fast for Aseret yemei teshuva and today it seems that this custom is hardly in use - why is this ?
Answer
Fasting often precludes keeping other mitzvot- like studying Torah- with the required energy.
