Is swimming permitted on Taanis Esther?
« on: February 28, 2018, 10:41:16 AM »
Is it Halachically permitted to go swimming on Taanis Esther? Is it permitted to receive a professional massage on Taanis Esther? Reason for this fast is not aveilus for Bais HaMikdash, so I understand that showering and listening to music is ok.
