Ebay is not nice to sellers. People can even buy, wear and return stuff. Facebook groups are better if you can.

Taanit Ester is the fast day before Purim. Very lucky day indeed. Esther fasted for 3 days including this one before approaching the King to ask that he NOT destroy the Jews;.it's the day before the planned annihilation of the Jews, which the Jews were specially allowed to fight back. One wonders why the order to slaughter the Jews wasn't just, y'know, rescinded.
It's not a big fast. But compared to some of the others (commemorating the destruction of the temple, for example), it is much lighter.
