Yes, the Jewish calendar contains six fasts per year. Yom Kippur is the day of prayer and atonement. Taanis Esther is the day when the Jews prepared to confront their deadly enemies in the ancient Persian empire. And the Ninth of Av, the Seventeenth of Tamuz, the Tenth of Teves and Tzom Gedaliah, are all connected with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
