Best Answer

Jewish people do not have a week of fasting but do have several other fasts of varying lengths.

For example, the longest two fasts are Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) and Tisha b'Av (the Ninth of Av (which is a month)). They are both 25 hours long. There are also other fasts which are usually from dawn til dusk.
