Question
Shalom, I’ve done this once before, about 15 years ago when my children were teens. I had heard that fasting for 40 days was a segulah for one’s children to grow up shomrei Torah Umitzvoth. That seem to have worked :). Anyway, I’m considering doing that again because of the ‘eis tzarah’ klal yisroel is in right now. If the 40 days run into Chanukah, do I fast on Chanukah? Second question, I’m 15 years older now, and I fear doing this will be quite a bit more difficult. If I drink over the course of the day, a coffee in the morning, some water or an energy drink in the early afternoon when I’m usually flagging during a busy day, even when I’m eating, would that still count as fasting for something like this. I appreciate any help with this.. Shloime
