'''Masechet Taanit''' (also called Masechet Taaniyot) is part of the "Moed" order of the six orders of Mishnah. This masechet is relatively short, and deals with the laws of fasts in general, particularly the fasts that the beit din would decree upon the entire community during times of "rain stoppage" and drought years. Along with this, the masechet also presents the laws of the sections in the Shmoneh Esreh prayer related to rainfall - mentioning "Who causes the rain to fall" and requesting "Give dew and rain for blessing." In addition to fasts related to rain, the masechet also deals with the fast of the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av, as well as the laws of the week in which the 9th of Av falls. This masechet in the Babylonian Talmud contains many aggadic sections, relative to other masechtot. In this masechet are found the well-known stories about Choni HaMeagel, Nachum Ish Gam Zu, and Nakdimon ben Gurion. In the Babylonian Talmud, this masechet has 30 pages. | '''Masechet Taanit''' (also called Masechet Taaniyot) is part of the "Moed" order of the six orders of Mishnah.
