Most OB/GYN have no issue with fasting Yom Kippur, why would Tzom Gedalya be different? Especially in the 9th month.
You need to ask a MD if fasting in the 9th month is advisable?
Mimi was told not to fast for T"G in 2013 but she fasted on Y"K and went into labor less than 24 hours later.
Most OBs do not recommend a fast-induced labor. I think the biggest Shayla is 9 Av (except when Nidche). I've heard so many different Psakim.I've never heard of a Chiyuv for a pregannt woman to fast on a minor fast in the 2nd or 3rd trimester, and virtually all Poskim would say a pregnant woman should start Y"K and switch to Shiurim if feeling weak.
I sincerely hope no one is taking practical halachic advice from this thread
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
No way! One should only get halachic advice from whatsapp.
So DDF vs WhatsApp you say WhatsApp?
At the Rebbe's Room in 770Ma'ariv ended 9:20Tehillim ended 10:30Shachris-Musaf - 10:00-3:30 (I think that's a record)Mincha-Ne'ila - 5:15-7:45
Oops, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the Tehillim part. Is it bordering on Kefira to say the whole Tehillim on the night of YK? Is there widespread criticism of the practice which I'm not aware of?
What is the reasoning for the tehillim? (Or where is a post where someone explained it?)
It's a well established minhag to say as much tehilliim as possible on Rosh Hashono and Yom Kippur.
Source?
Huh?It has been well established on DDF that when something is said to be well established, no further source is required!
YK and Tzom Gedalia are probably the greatest extremes (in opposite directions) when determining whether one should fast.
brisker rav used to say tehillim on Yom Kippur during his free time
