TA'ANITH SCROLL

Megillat Taanit (Hebrew: מגילת תענית‎), lit. "The Scroll of Fasting", is an ancient text, in the form of a chronicle, which enumerates 35 eventful days on which the Jewish nation either performed glorious deeds, or witnessed joyful events resulting from military victories. These days were celebrated as feast-days. Public mourning was forbidden on 14 of them, and public fasting on all.

This unique scripture is detailed and discussed in this book, with a commentary.
