Rabbi Shabtai Levi Explains Which Meal Ends the Tisha B'Av Fast and Permissible Foods for Break-Fast
On July 26, 2026, Rabbi Shabtai Levi, head of the Halachic Court 'Halichot Moshe' and chief rabbi of Ramat Aharon in Bnei Brak, provided guidance regarding the meal that officially ends the Tisha B'Av fast and the permissibility of eating additional foods during the break-fast. The discussion was featured on the 'Bachadrei Haredim' website as part of their daily Halacha segment. Rabbi Levi clarified the criteria that define a 'se'udah mafseket' (the meal that breaks the fast) and addressed common questions about what foods are allowed to be consumed by those who have completed the fast. This guidance is particularly relevant for observant Jews observing the fast of Tisha B'Av, a day of mourning commemorating the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem.
