Question
Is there significance in fasting on the day my Rosh Yeshiva passed away?
Answer
According to the basic law, if most of one's Torah knowledge comes from him, there is a great merit in fasting on this day, but it is not obligatory. However, in our times, there is no rabbi from whom most of one's wisdom comes.
