This week we will continue learning about the 3 sets of fast days they  would institute when it didn’t rain in Israel by a certain date.  The  second chapter of Masechet Taanit begins by describing how they brought  the Ark out into the street during these fast days. We will learn how  they added 6 blessings to the Amida, making it a total of 24 blessings.  We will also learn about the special minor holidays listed in Megilat  Taanit, when it is forbidden to fast or eulogize on those days.
