What is the deeper purpose of fasting during times of crisis? This Daily Rambam lesson explores the Torah’s response to personal and communal distress: turning to Hashem through prayer, introspection, teshuvah, and fasting. Rather than dismissing hardship as mere coincidence, the Rambam teaches us to see difficult moments as an invitation to examine our actions, make meaningful changes, and seek Divine mercy.
