But you are right; and there are achronim that bring that rayah. I'll try to get a kitzur of the mar'eh mekomos in an update.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. B.-- the Mechaber does not allow fasting, but he definitely wrote this psak with more than the usual intentional ambiguity. <BR/><BR/>Reb Baruch Epstein was a great talmid chacham.

He was one of those classic illuyim who loved to elicit the raised eyebrow, and he has a clear disdain for the 'accepted wisdom.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955681.post-90570066961380843272008-09-18T12:29:00.000-05:002008-09-18T12:29:00.000-05:00I have read that Rosh Hashona is different from ot...I have read that Rosh Hashona is different from other yomim tovim, allowing for a fast.<BR/><BR/>I remember that shortly after the book My Uncle the Netziv came out, there were some major objections to it, though I don't recall what they were.
