What is the shiur that if you drink less than it is not breaking the fast? Is it a kzayis or beitza? And how much does that amount equal in ounces? And does it apply to food or only to drink?
And under what circumstances is it permissible to utilize this on today’s fast day? Is it a b’dieved or b’shas hadchak?
There is no way one can DRINK a kezeiyis or a kebeitzah, that are dry mesurments, for liqued one mesures in a reviyis or “meloy ligimov”.
It’s not miloy lugmo?
i took a sip (around an ounce) of water this morning to wash down some pills i had to take. the rest of teh day i dry swallowed the pills…
I’ve been taught that if you eat or drink ANY amount you are no longer considered to be completing the fast and therefore cannot be given an aliyah. Yom Kippur is actually more lenient as you can eat or drink small amounts for medical reasons and still be given an aliyah.
bombmaniac: You should never take pills dry. Depending on the medication, you may develop a small ulceration somewhere in the esophagus. If you took them with a small sip of water in the morning, then you might as well take each dose with a small sip of water. If you won’t permit yourself to have water, check with your doctor about skipping the entire day’s dose.
no the reason i took the water in the morning is because my mouth was very dry in the morning and i wouldnt have been able to dry swallow. the rest of the day it wasnt a problem.
Anything on YK (deoraiso) is ossur. Less than a reviis of water, especially to take pills, on the 4 minor fasts (all derabonnon), is allowed by just about anyone. I am not sure about 9 Av which of course is also derabonnon.
OB Creedmoor: The Admou”r meCreedmoor says that Yom haAtzamois has the same status as Yom Kippur and that anyone who even has a drop of water on Yom haAtzamois is chayav kooreys.
I heard that with meds you are allowed to take some water (I think I heard 1 tablespoon) and that would not be considered breaking your fast.
