QUESTION: What is the special
blessing called Ballad?
ANSWER: On the first Sabbath
after the beginning of the month
of Iyar, occurring on Saturday,
April 30th, a special blessing is
recited for those who undertake
the pledge of fasting for the next
Monday, Thursday and the fol-
lowing Monday. A similar bless
ing is recited on the Sabbath fol-
lowing the first of the month of
Cheshvan for those who under
take the succession of three fasts
in the fall season.
y . = **
QUESTION: Why is il custom
airy to observe this fast series at
this season2
ANSWER: A number of reasons
, have been offered by the rabbis.
The common factor between the
two seasons during which these
fasts are observed is that they fol-
low the Passover and Succoth
/ holidays respectively. Some claim
that these fasts are observed at
this time because of the seasons
which can be injurious to the
health of the individual because
of the changing temperatures. The
fasts are thus a matter of petition
to the Almighty asking him to
protect our health at this time of
changing seasons.
Some claim that special anxiety
existed at these seasons because
of the harvests which occurred
then. Others claim that it may be
a matter of additional prayers for
rain in the fall and dew in the
spring. Some opinions associate
these fasts with the holidays
which precede them. During the
holidays man may have sinned in
Decorating the spirit and the OBJ
servance of the respective holiday
either the Passover in the
spring or the High Holidays and
Succoth in the fall. To atone for
any wrong committed during the
holiday, it is claimed, these fasts
were instituted.
Since the Shavuoth festival is
of comparatively short duration
no special fasts were instituted
after Shavuoth. Yet, there are
some who do observe the series
of fasts even after the Shavuoth
holiday.

QUESTION: Why are Mondays
and Thursdays chosen for the fast
days?
ANSWER: These are known as
penitential days because Moses
ascent and descent from Mount
Sinai took place on these days.
Also, the courts were in session in
the various cities and towns of
ancient Israel on these days. Also,
the Torah is read on these days.
