Thanks Vicki; I should point out that no one is meant to be in

life-threatening danger on *any* fast in our calendar. It has

happened in the past, particularly in Israel, when the weather has

been unusually hot, that the Rabbis have issued an edict stating that

*everyone MUST drink* over the fast. Eating is not necessary!
