Tzom Gedaliah for Hebrew Year 5724 occurred on .
The Fast of Gedalia (Hebrew: צוֹם גְּדַלְיָּה), also spelled Gedaliah, is a minor Jewish fast day from dawn until dusk to lament the assassination of Gedaliah, the Jewish governor appointed by Nebuchadnezzar II to oversee the remaining Jewish population in the land of Israel following the destruction of the First Temple. His murder by Yishmael ben Netaniah, reportedly at the instigation of the King of Ammon, ended the last vestige of Jewish autonomy in the land and prompted the surviving community to flee to Egypt. Like other minor fasts, Tzom Gedaliah begins at dawn and ends at nightfall.
