FAST DAYS

1) The Evening Before -

Does the significance of a fast day begin at dawn, when we stop eat eating, or from the night before? What are some practical ramifications?

1. Yosef Da'as to Ta'anis 11:p1, ד"ה נחלקו הראשונים

2) Eating before Dawn -

May one awake from his sleep on the night preceding a fast, and eat or drink before dawn?

1. Yosef Da'as to Ta'anis 12:p7, ד"ה לפי into p.8

3) Travel -

If one flies westward on a fast day, extending the fast by many hours, may one eat?

4) Fasting on Friday -

When a fast day falls on Friday, (e.g. Asarah b'Teves), do we complete the fast and enter Shabbos while fasting? What about an individual's fast?
