Peter’s Yarzheit
by Darren on Jan.02, 2007, under Minhag
Daniel Lancaster & Toby Janicki have put forth an exciting proposal linking the fast of Tevet with the yarzheit (anniversary of a person’s death) of the Apostle Peter!
As a synopsis, throughout the centuries many observant Jews have not only fasted on the 10th of Tevet, but on the 9th as well, without a clue as to why. Daniel & Toby believe it is due to it being the yarzheit of Peter, which has been quietly observed for nearly 2000 years within the Jewish community. Take a listen for yourself at Daniel’s audio teaching and decide for yourself. By next year many of us may be observing Peter’s yarzheit as part of our minhag.

Guess I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Where did Tebbitt go?
