@DoubleAA So what about someone who derives pleasure from learning ANY part of Torah even the "sad" stuff?– YehoshuaJul 26, 2015 at 13:02

2I believe there are also opinions that say you're allowed to learn your regular daily Torah portions (Chumash/Tehillim/Tanya, Rambam, Daf Yomi, etc.). Although others say you should postpone them till after the fast is over.– AlexJul 19, 2010 at 22:51

1YS, the guideline on editing other users' answers is to respect them. Stuff like fixing typos or linking terms to wikipedia is okay. Your point here was different and significant enough that it belongs as a comment, or you can write your own answer (including whatever pieces of mine you like).– ShalomJul 21, 2010 at 3:03

I learn that portion of Gittin every year, usually Erev Tisha B'Av but sometimes Tisha B'Av itself. From the section "Because of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza" up to the story of the apprentice who tricked his master and married his wife.– CashCowJul 24, 2018 at 13:16
