Fast this Friday

The Fast in NYC begins at 5:14 am & ends at 5:16 pm

Hilchos Asarah B'Teves

1650. The fasting period on Asara B'Teves begins when one falls asleep for the night, (on Thursday night) because one normally does not eat again until breakfast the next morning, long after Dawn, the official start of the Fast day. Thus, if one awoke early before Dawn, one may nevertheless, not eat. Shulchan Aruch w/Mishnah Berurah 564:1

 

1651. However, if one explicitly states (or has in mind) before going sleep that one plans to wake up early, before the start of the fast at Alos Hashachar - Dawn to eat, one is permitted to eat before Alos Hashachar.
