Tzom Gedaliah ("the Fast of Gedaliah") is a minor fast day on the third of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, which is the day after Rosh HaShanah. It is observed from dawn to nightfall and commemorates the assasination of Gedaliah, a Judean official, by fellow Judeans — an act that led to further dispersal during the Babylonian Exile.
