Question

I am having a bit of trouble finding information about major and minor fasts within the Jewish Calendar. Apart from Yom Kipper and Tishb'aav when and what are the names of any other fasts?

Answer

Minor fasts include:
Tishrei 3
Tevet 10
Adar 13
Tammuz 17

The dates and information for each year can be accessed by going to: http://www.aish.com/holidays.
