0:00 Hungry, weak, frail, headache, lack of settled mind, the head is panicked, not focused, one does not need to fast. Whoever wants — you know which day — some one time... I said, one can redeem the fast and the fast... One can redeem the fast with charity. to give the amount of a meal, with Hashem's help, or to give the amount of his meal, what he is accustomed to eat, with Hashem's help. If he eats for twenty coins, to give twenty. If he is accustomed to eat for fifty coins, for fifty coins, to give fifty. If he is accustomed to eat for a hundred coins, he can give a hundred coins. He should give it, with Hashem's help.
0:33 And one can multiply it by the number of Shabbosos, and give it at one time to charity in the morning for Torah scholars. One can fulfill the obligation with this. To make a fast of hours of speech. To make a fast of speech, to eat, say, on Mondays and Thursdays, not to eat sugar, to eat healthy food, to eat, say, only vegetables, to refrain from sugar, and this until nightfall. This too is an affliction, it counts as an affliction, to do teshuvah and learn Torah with intent, and perhaps drink herbal tea, to strengthen the body. On the contrary, on Mondays and Thursdays, to strengthen the body, and not to weaken people, to break them with fasts. This is a weak generation, people... People are tired anyway, depleted anyway, anyway... Whom are we strengthening now, those who fast? Think about it.
1:14 A person does not really leave his desires and bad traits if he does not work on the Torah, if he does not learn Torah and does not do teshuvah, he does not get out of it with this (with fasts). And whoever so much wants to fast... and it makes him happy, because he did such serious things, And the wise one will check whether he is so [unclear] and to do a fast, but the main thing is to be careful about the mikveh. One can also immerse before prayer, which accomplishes something with Hashem, blessed be He, that it counts like a fast of a whole day.
1:40 This is the fast of the Raavad that one can do, or do a tikkun seudah even at the time of eating, and learn Torah, and recite Psalm 23, and recite Psalm 137 on a weekday and Psalm 120 on Shabbos, after the lesson, an olive's amount that they eat. One can also do this. That is it, thank G-d, and to think good and to learn Torah, and the main thing is to give pleasure to Hashem, and not to speak lashon hara, and Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz says, a person wants to say something not good about a Jew, and he holds himself back at that moment, it counts as seven fasts from Shabbos to Shabbos.
2:09 from Shabbos to Shabbos... So think already what is more than everything.
