🕯The fast days — when they begin, when they end, and what is said

The fasts are the days people most often get the times wrong on, because each one starts differently and none of them come round often enough to become habit. One begins at dawn, one the night before, and the end of it is a question of which opinion the household follows.

Lechem gives each fast its own times for where you are, and says plainly where the opinions differ on the end rather than printing a single confident minute.

It also carries what is said. Tefillos change on a fast day — additions, omissions, things that move — and Lechem makes the changes for you rather than expecting you to remember them at mincha. For Tisha b'Av there is Eichah and there are the kinnos, in order, which is the one night of the year where being handed the right page in the right order is worth more than anything else the app does.

These screens come forward in their season and step back afterwards. Nothing is removed; out of season it is all still there and still findable.

Who fasts, who does not, and what happens when somebody is unwell are not questions for an app. Lechem says so and points you to your Rav.
