Hi,
The fast of Asarah b’Tevet, the 10th day of
Tevet, marks the beginning of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. It led
to the destruction of the First Beit haMikdash, and the exile of the
Jews to Babylon.
Tomorrow [Sunday 12/23/12] is Asarah
b'Tevet. As we are taught regarding every fast other than Yom Kippur,
the main merit of the fast is in donating to charity the money we would
have spent on food.

Have an easy and meaningful fast,
Mordechai
