[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a question from a Jew. All of our fasts are 24 hours (just for one day at a time!) Is the Ramadan fast sunup to sundown? I remember hearing that and that the season when Ramadan occurs also shifts. Are those things true? Does that make this year particularly hard? It seems like the fast would range from 8 hours to 16 hours - a huge difference! Plus, there are a ton of questions this year about small kids and how late the evening meal is. Is that a particularly bad concern in June? [/quote] The range is actually much more in the DC area. The official times are from before Fajr prayer until Maghreb prayer, which right now for DC is 4:05 to 8:35. Thus, right now the fast is about 18 hours and 30 minutes in the DC area! Actually, Judaism has fasts that are dawn to dusk and not 24 hours, such as Asara B'Tevet.[/quote]
