If the seventeenth of Marแธฅeshvan arrived and rain has not fallen, individuals, but not the entire community, begin to fast three fasts for rain. How are these fasts conducted? As the fast begins in the morning, one may eat and drink after dark, and one is permitted during the days of the fasts themselves to engage in the performance of work, in bathing, in smearing oil on oneโs body, in wearing shoes, and in conjugal relations.

ืืืืืื ืืฉืืชืื ืืฉืืฉืืื โ They are permitted to eat and drink all the night of the fast until the crack of dawn all the while that they are not sleeping. But after one has had oneโs fixed period of sleep, it is forbidden to each or drink if one didnโt make a condition [to do so] at first prior to going to sleep. And there are those who say that eating requires a condition made. Drinking does not require a condition made, for there is no fixed period for drinking and that makes sense.
