Page 14 - Nedava

 

The tenth day of the fifth month we call Nedava

The word Nedava means the donation of meat to poor families.

The custom of European Karaites is to remember dead relatives in cemeteries from the seventh day of the fifth month till the tenth day of the fifth month.

On the tenth day of the fifth month after morning worship in kenasa we read the book of Job. 

At around noon the lambs are slaughtered, after the slaughter the meat  is dispatched to poor families, then the fast is broken ie, fasting is reduced.

If Nedava or another fast falls on Shabbat it is postponed to Sunday.
