Thank you for making me aware of this women-centered Jewish tradition. I had never heard of TaÌ¢‰â‰ã¢anit Esther prior to reading your post. In Hebrew School, I remember learning about a number of fasts that were for men only or dedicated to specific men, but I don't recall a fast in commemoration of EstherÌ¢‰â‰ã¢s braveryÌ¢‰âÂå_ And now, youÌ¢‰â‰ã¢ve sparked my curiosity.

Where can I find more information on TaÌ¢‰â‰ã¢anit Esther?
